She wanted a hoodie comfortable enough to sleep in on a plane but polished enough to wear through the airport and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>With no formal fashion background or sewing experience, she took a course on launching a fashion brand and spent nearly three years developing the collection before launching LAS in February 2025.<\/p>\n<p>What started as travel-inspired apparel quickly expanded as women began wearing the pieces while traveling, working from home, running errands, during recovery, and throughout their everyday routines.<\/p>\n<p>Anika believes the future of fashion is multifunctional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen aren\u2019t looking for more clothes. They\u2019re looking for fewer pieces that do more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Website: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration:
