Founded in 2015, LARA connects NYU students with the luxury and retail industries through exclusive events and networking opportunities. We’ve hosted speakers from renowned brands like Givenchy, Prada, Chanel, Peter Do, Christie’s, and Vogue, offering unique insights into design, marketing, and strategy.

Over the years, we’ve built a vibrant community where students can explore their passions, gain industry knowledge, and connect with leaders shaping the future of luxury.

At LARA, we strive to create an inclusive space where anyone can explore the intersection of luxury and business, no experience needed.
