EDIT.
by Laura Morgan
Meet Laura Morgan. What’s behind that striking presence in fashion that lingers in the mind long after the image fades? A deeper energy that draws brands and creatives to her, beyond aesthetics.
Irish-born, Laura spent many years in New York before moving back to the UK two years ago. Since returning she has expanded her art practice and cultivated a space where creatives come together to share through various mediums their experience of being alive. Continuing to shape fashion and art as something more than just surface-level expression.
As someone who believes in the power of community, storytelling and art to foster empathy and change, her work—whether as a model, a visual artist, a costume designer, a set designer, a builder - has always been rooted in the want to support, understand, empower and connect people. To keep hope alive, she believes in the butterfly effect of small actions, that any spark of authenticity can shift perspectives.
Laura brings more than just a face and personal style to fashion—she brings a presence; an unspoken depth that makes us look twice. In her EDIT, we have the privilege of taking a peek into that depth, understanding the true person behind the image just a little more.
Item
“My favorite item is the short Bomber. It’s reversible and oversized without drowning in it– I always love a two-for-one. The pleating on the arms and two tone colour give it personality and a wicked vibe.”
Bomber short nylon khaki / trench beige
ILSE high boot Black
Place
“My home in Sussex. Once a month artists, thinkers, creators come to my home and share what they are currently excited about to a group of about 30 guests. I also curate creative workshops, skill sharing sessions and exhibitions here.”
Touch
"Hands clasping, hugging, stroking, connecting. Skin on skin with loved ones.”
City
“New York City. Break in, break up, break down, break through. It tore the surface from my eyes on many many occasions. For this I am forever indebted and in love with this city.”
Artist
“Artists such as Rebecca Horn who have the courage to authentically and thoroughly investigate life and expose it in their work.”
Book
“Women in The Picture by Catherine McCormack. Working in the beauty industry, having experiences with eating disorders and beauty thinking disorders I have found learning where the source of my dysmorphia originates from – white male gaze - helps me to dismantle these internalised learned beliefs and build my own that are in line with my heart.”
Space
“Alone in nature where I cannot hear anything human made and feel only the earth beneath my feet."
Motto
"Faith over fear."
Sculpture
“A sculpture from my first exhibition in 2024 called UnWelcome Guests. Shown at Phoenix ArtSpace as part of my art residency. It was a turning point for me in taking my artistic voice seriously. The sculpture is a communicative attempt to share what goes on inside of me.”
