Lauren Conrad, affectionately known to her friends as "L.C.", embarked on her life's journey on February 1st, 1986, in the picturesque city of Newport Beach, California. Growing up in the stunning coastal town of Laguna Beach, Lauren and her friends would often indulge in leisurely activities such as beach trips, shopping excursions, and dining out, forming cherished memories along the way.
Lauren's fascination with fashion design began to take shape during her 7th grade year, igniting a passion that would guide her future endeavors. Upon graduating from Laguna Beach High School, Lauren decided to pursue her academic and professional aspirations at the Academy of Art University, enrolling in the Fashion Design program. However, after completing only one semester, Lauren realized that the institution and its location in San Francisco were not the ideal fit for her. Consequently, she made the decision to return to her hometown and enroll at FIDM in Irvine, California.
Upon her return, Lauren secured an internship position at the renowned clothing line, "3Dots", in Los Angeles. As she continued to hone her skills and build her professional network, Lauren eventually relocated to LA and began attending FIDM's LA campus, majoring in Fashion Design.
