“Laurie Lamborelle's work focusses on humanity and turns our innermost selves inside out. She creates landscapes that resemble a flowing membrane like a protective cover or a second skin. Her reliefs appear sensual, fragile and vulnerable, exposing the layers of the earth's surface. The multidimensionality she lends to the materials allows us to look through different horizons into a blurred depth. You can only guess the bottom.

For us humans, this shows the beauty in the shades as well as its vulnerability. If you move in front of her creations, a constantly changing dimension emerges due to the changing incidence of light and makes the material appear alive. The viewer's perspective determines the effect of the image and thus becomes a flowing movement that is not static, not tangible, not unambiguous. Subjective and open decisions become possible…”

Laurie has lived and worked as an independent fashion designer in Luxembourg City since 2016.
She first studied fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, then garment construction at the London College of Fashion. Her path was enriched by apprenticeships in London, with Hussein Chalayan, known for his conceptual and artistic vision, and with the duo Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, where romance and modernity intertwine. Later, in Antwerp, she joined the avant-garde world of A.F. Vandevorst.

Returning to Luxembourg, she began creating garments and textiles under her own name. Her artistic search lingers on the fragile essence of humanity, woven into the fabrics she chooses, and the patterns she conceives and brings to life with her own hands.

Alongside her personal creations, she occasionally lends her vision to projects in costume design, textile artistry, and the visual arts.
