Fashion Forward with Designer Audra Noyes Herndon

In this episode of House of Lou, Veronica is joined by Audra Noyes Herndon; founder, CEO, and creative director of AUDRA. Audra shares details of her journey, including her move to St. Louis in 2017, as one the Saint Louis Fashion Fund's inaugural class of designers; her background working with fashion icons André Leon Tally, Zac Posen, and John Galliano, to name a few; and the inspiration behind her brand's aesthetic. Audra discusses her career highlights and passion projects, from dressing Kim Kardashian for the red carpet to designing her own wedding dress, as well as dresses for her mother and flower girls. This year, the brand celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Shop AUDRA at its showroom on Clayton in Ladue (walk-ins welcome) or online.  Plus, Veronica talks about her recent trip to Colombia and the creative inspiration it brought her.
