Georgiana Bland, Managing Director
Georgiana has traveled the world in search of the unique and the undiscovered. After completing a degree in Italian Studies and Art History, Georgiana moved to Florence and then Rome, working for a private company that offered a rarefied and sometimes amusing glimpse into European old-world aristocracy. Upon her return to Manhattan, these experiences combined with a love of travel and style and an affinity for technology brought her to What2WearWhere.com.
Lara Glaister, Creative Director
Post History of Art BA, and a job at a major contemporary art gallery in Manhattan, Lara went on to Parson’s School of Design to study Fashion Illustration and Costume History. A passionate traveler, she then moved on to Rue de Seine in Paris where life became la vie en rose. Nothing is more chic than throwing on a trench coat, grabbing a Herald Tribune and sipping on a café crème. The effortless sense of style and Parisian life has never left Lara, which is what quite literally drew her to What2WearWhere.com. Her brilliant sketches created the look of the site.
