The Designer

Quebec
designer Lucy Medeiros owner and founder of Roxy and Lulu
Urban Doggie Wear, was born and raised in the heart of Montreal
in a traditional European family. Having grown up with both
her parents working in the needle trade, it seemed natural
for her to go into the same line of business.
Upon graduating
in the Fashion Design program at Lasalle College in Montreal
in1984, she landed her first job with a local Junior wear
company. With a creative mind and an eagerness to learn, she
gained experience and wisdom. Throughout her career she went
on to work with various Canadian and US major retailers in
Ladies, and Men’s wear as a fashion merchandiser.
After her
first child was born, Lucy discovered a passion for children’s
wear, where she spent 10 years of her career designing and
merchandising junior girls 7-16, for different local companies
and brands such as La Senza Girl.
Looking back
today, little did she know that in 2004 she would have a life
changing experience that would lead her on the path to where
she is today, when a little blonde female Yorkie named Roxy
came into her life and captured her heart. It wasn’t too long
after, that another furry member was added to the family,
a male Yorkie named Kiko. |
Needless to say with Roxy and Kiko as
her inspirations, it only seemed natural to move her career
in a pet related direction. At the end of 2006 “Roxy and Lulu”
was born naming the company after Roxy, who was her inspiration
for starting her business and LuLu, her own childhood nick
name. Lucy has spent the past few years in the pet industry
making her mark designing and creating different lines of
handmade Swarovski crystal dog collars and matching leads.
August 2008
was the official launch of her doggy wear line at Pet Fashion
Week in New York city, a trade show open strictly to industry
buyers and media. Her clothing line named “Urban Doggie Wear”
inspired by today’s street fashions consist of, stretch tee’s,
jeans and jean skirts, velour hoodies, fur coats, and parkas
with rhinestone broaches.
Taking her
many years of fashion experience and applying them to a different
animal has been her latest and most rewarding challenge. As
a Designer, she strives to share her creativity with the world
by offering her edgy and personal fashion style. With the
long hours and hard work involved in this fast paced industry,
Lucy always has a smile on her face because her passion and
love for this business fuels her drive for success.
