Luxury with a tropical twist
Laure Hériard Dubreuil
Founder, The Webster and LHD
Paris-born Laure Hériard Dubreuil began her career in fashion as a merchandiser for Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent. During this time, she began travelling to Miami for Art Basel and saw that the city was missing an outpost for luxury labels.
In a metropolis filled with artists, collectors and creatives, Hériard Dubreuil felt that there was no one catering to high-end fashion needs. She saw a chance to bring innovative, of-the-moment designers that she loved to South Beach – and launched The Webster boutique shortly after.
Hériard Dubreuil grew up in the south of France, where she cultivated a love of classic couture pieces while playing dress-up with her grandmother’s wardrobe. “Even today, I adore fashion that lasts,” she says. “That’s ultimately how I choose clothes for The Webster. I consider items that are timeless but often with a twist to provide something interesting and unexpected.”
By curating The Webster with this in mind, Hériard Dubreuil’s selections have resonated with high-profile visitors and canny members of Miami’s creative scene.
Following years of working with the world’s best fashion houses, she understands how best to highlight a designer’s vision in a way that feels thoughtful and unique – something that inspired her to launch her own label, LHD, sold exclusively at The Webster.
At the boutique, it’s not uncommon to find Chanel pieces alongside Superga trainers. For Hériard Dubreuil, curating the shop is akin to getting dressed in the morning. “That hadn’t been done in Miami before,” she says proudly.
