One evening at a Metropolitan Club event, textile expert Rachel Hearn came to the rescue of Laura Day Webb, whose vintage dress had torn and needed mending. The next thing they knew, the pair were working together on designing a series of dresses for Laura’s own wedding. Fast forward to April 2018, when together Hearn and Day Webb released the debut collection for their newly founded label, La Doyenne.
