This Brooklyn-based scholar is currently getting her doctorate in fashion history at the London College of Fashion, while also flexing her style knowledge as a curator. And given her weakness for vintage gowns, '70s statement pieces and Terry de Havilland's dramatic platforms, she certainly knows how to mix and match items from different eras to dramatic effect. Here's a look at a week's worth of Laura's ensembles.

Today I got to interview my idol, the shoe designer Terry de Havilland, for the online magazine Because. Here I am in his showroom wearing a lavender silk Tracy Feith blouse, Zara mini and a pair of his wedges—the Margaux Waves.
