About Us

Lucy Charters
Owner and Co-Founder

Lucy is the business and fashion guru in the team. She is always looking to learn new entrepreneurial skills and when Amelie pitched the idea for a new small business, Lucy jumped at the opportunity. When not studying for her Master of Optometry, she puts all her spare time into running LA Designer Hire from her home studio in Kenmore Hills. She loves interacting with clients and aims to develop a highly professional yet personalised experience for all. Her passion is finding new and exciting pieces to add to the collection while also taking an ethical approach behind the scenes. She recognises the importance of supporting the sustainable fashion movement and incorporates its philosophy in the LA Designer Hire business model.

Amelie-Rose Buckley
Co-Founder

Amelie is the creative mind behind LA Designer Hire. Both Amelie and Lucy attended high school at the Queensland Academy for Creative Industries and share a love of creativity. After graduating high school in 2019, Amelie pitched the idea of starting a business together, and voilà, LA Designer Hire was born. With a background in Graphic Design and Communications, Amelie helped shape the brand’s identity by curating the dress collection, logo, and social media presence. Although she now works full-time in graphic design, she continues to play an active role in photoshoots, sourcing new pieces, and creating content for LA Designer Hire.
