[edit] Biography
Bush was born in Colorado.[3] She attended high school at the prestigious Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, as did her sister Ashley, and brother Pierce. She studied fashion design at BEBE and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and graduated from Princeton University in 2006 with a B.A. in Anthropology and a certificate in Photography.[4] She is a member of The Ivy Club, one of Princeton's ten eating clubs.
[edit] Career
Standing at 5'6" (168 cm), Bush is signed with the Elite Model Management. She has been featured on the covers of Vogue and Vanity Fair magazine and frequently modeled for Tommy Hilfiger as well as for Abercrombie & Fitch and designers Gai Mattiolo and Isaac Mizrahi. She was an intern on the television sitcom Friends and had a cameo in one episode, and interned alongside Ashley Olsen with designer Zac Posen.[5] Bush traveled to Chad in 2005 as a Student Ambassador for the World Food Program.[6][7]
Lauren Bush recently launched a new project on behalf of the UN World Food Programme to fight world hunger. The project is called FEED Projects.[8]
Bush relaunched her fashion label on September 11, 2008 under the name "Lauren Pierce." About her decision to use her middle name, Pierce, as opposed to her last name for the title of her line, Bush told W magazine in November 2008 that it "wasn't a conscious decision." Further pressed, Bush said, "Obviously my last name is associated with politics. But Pierce is my grandmother's maiden name and my younger brother's name. It's not about downplaying my last name as much as it is about loving Pierce. And my brother is very flattered."[9] Former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush were front row for the Lauren Pierce Spring 2011 show at the inaugural Houston Fashion Week in October 2010.[10]
[edit] Personal life
On September 4, 2011 she married David Lauren, son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, and became legally known as Lauren Bush Lauren. [11]
