Montreal
designer Lucy Medeiros, owner and founder of Roxy and Lulu,
was born and raised in the heart of Montreal in a traditional
European family. Having grown up with both her parents working
in the needle trade, it seemed natural for her to go into
the same line of business.
Upon graduating
in the Fashion Design program at Lasalle College in Montreal
in1984, she landed her first job with a local Junior wear
company. With a creative mind and an eagerness to learn, she
gained experience and wisdom. Throughout her career she went
on to work with various Canadian and US major retailers in
Ladies, and Men’s wear as a fashion merchandiser.
After her
first child was born, Lucy discovered a passion for children’s
wear,
|
where she spent 10 years of her career designing and merchandising
junior girls 7-16, for different local companies and brands
such as La Senza Girl. Looking back today, little did she
know that in 2004 she would have a life changing experience
that would lead her on the path to where she is today, when
a little blonde female Yorkie named Roxy came into her life
and captured her heart. It wasn’t too long after, that another
furry member was added to the family, a male Yorkie named
Kiko.
Needless
to say with Roxy and Kiko as her inspirations, it only seemed
natural to move her career in a pet related direction. At
the end of 2006 “Roxy and Lulu” was born naming the company
after Roxy, who was her inspiration for starting her business
and LuLu, her own childhood nick name. Lucy has spent the
past few years in the pet industry making her mark designing
and creating different lines of handmade Swarovski crystal
dog collars and matching leads.
August 2008
was the official launch of her doggy wear line at Pet Fashion
Week in New York city, a trade show open strictly to industry
buyers and media. Her clothing line named “Urban Doggie Wear”
inspired by today’s street fashions consist of, stretch tee’s,
jeans and jean skirts, velour hoodies, fur coats, and parkas
with rhinestone broaches.
Taking her
many years of fashion experience and applying them to a different
animal has been her latest and most rewarding challenge. As
a Designer, she strives to share her creativity with the world
by offering her edgy and personal fashion style. With the
long hours and hard work involved in this fast paced industry,
Lucy always has a smile on her face because her passion and
love for this business fuels her drive for success.
