Article: International Designer Lacie Cupani


Nature is always speaking to us, the problem is very few people are listening. When the wind blows strong it says, I am sweeping things away. When the clouds drop rain it is saying I am quenching your thirst, and when the seasons change they are telling you to get prepared, or giving you something to see, feel, smell and to behold all of God's glory.

I recently heard Reggie Campbell (international Steller award winning singer) say, " when I look at the trees and the river I see a song in all of what God created". Lacie Cupani has eyes for the soul of people, and when she designs clothing, she creates it according to the personality. Each of Lacie's designs are an expression of the person that is wearing them.

The Cupani Fashion line was inspired by nature, science, humanities history and romance. Lacie actually hand crochet her clothing line, which is astonishing! Her passion and love for people and the art of design is equally refreshing. Lacie's designs are simply beautiful even her last name is derived from nature. Cupani comes from the word Lathyrus Cupani, that came from a sweet pea plant, which was named Lathrus by Francis Cupani. What an interesting link to the Cupani name. In 1699 some seeds from the sweet pea plant were sent to a teacher in England to be cultivated; therefore, Lacie Cupani uses the crocheting technique with flowering elements and patterns in her hand made designs.

Lacie Cupani is not only beautiful and talented, she is educated and has an MD of science, and she has a PHd in Immunology, Microbiology, and Infectious Diseases from Kyrgyz State Medical Academy. As a research scientist she published over 70 research articles. Her investigations were recognized at the federal and state level, which awarded her grants and patents.

In 2014, Cupani Fashions was named the line of the year. Lacie designed a dress for the first Lady Susan Hutchinson, wife of Governor Hutchinson. In 2015-2016, Lacie Cupani was an applicant for "Prodject Runway", USA. In 2015, one of Cupani's model, Daija Trask, was awarded The Model of the Year! Cupani models are known for winning and in 2016, models Antonietta Suarez and Fior D. Santiago Dilone shared a win of $2500 during the VIP Exclusive Fashion Show in Florida.

Cupani Fashion Collection is world wide and shares the platform with some of the greats in places like Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Tokyo, Japan, Baton Rouge, New York, Tampa, Carmel and the USA. Moving forward, in 2017, Cupani's Collections were showcased in Baton Roughe during the One of a Kind Fashion week, as well as CMG-New York City Fashion Week.

The Cupani Fashion Collection will showcase in the CMG Paris Fashion Week October 13, 2018.

I had the pleasure to co-host with Tori J on UHNTV 43.5, while Lacie Cupani was being interviewed. She was so pleasant to speak with. Her flowery personality and warmth was what made her so inviting and I fell in love with Lacie's beautiful personality. I was amazed at her crochet designs, because the expression of ones inter-self was so obvious as I viewed the models wearing the dresses. I was equally blessed to see my grandbaby Armonie Wilson, model one of the crochet dresses. The dress she wore was stunning!

Lacie Cupani, it was a pleasure and a joy to write about you. Thank you for the invitation to come to New York for your show. I pray it is a major success!!
