28 FASHION FEEDING SHELBY HODGE THINKS SPRING FROCKS. PHOTOGRAPHY DANIEL ORTIZ. A lmost from the day the doors opened on her Miami boutique 10 years ago, friends and fans have clamored for Laure Hériard Dubreuil of The Webster to translate her fashion forward oeuvre into a namesake collection. Last fall, she made the leap, in- troducing LHD in her boutiques in Florida, New York, and now Houston. For the champagne-infused intro, the Galleria boutique was awash in spring colors as Hériard Dubreuil talked about her LHD cruise collection, design, and her inspiration. "It's very inspired by vintage pieces that I have," she said. "But I wanted also to be fresh. Not like nostalgic in the vintage feeling but more like inspired by vintage with a fresh take on it." The result: snappy little alligators, pineapples, olives and festive frogs frolicking across her dresses, shorts and tops. Sharing duties for the evening was Becca Cason Thrash, a friend of the French entrepreneur since the launch of the original Webster in South Beach, who hosted an intime dinner down the road at the new cozy Prime at Café Annie.
