His opulent creations are a sumptuous mix of\u00a0dreamy romance, timeless elegance and diva glam. Lazaro is known for impeccable fits, exquisite\u00a0hand embroidery, and the use of luxurious fabrics that shimmer and bedazzle.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Originally from Cuba, Lazaro grew up with a dress form and measuring tape in tow. He started his\u00a0career as a pattern maker, designing custom gowns at a couture bridal shop located in the\u00a0prestigious Gold Coast of Chicago. While attending University, Lazaro was awarded \u2018Best New\u00a0Bridal Design\u2019 and later moved to New York as an apprentice for bridal house Galina-Bouquet.\u00a0Following his apprenticeship, Lazaro became head designer for Richard Glasgow\u2019s Riccio\u00a0collection. In 1994 Joe Murphy, JLM Couture President and CEO, brought Lazaro into the JLM\u00a0group to launch his iconic Lazaro collection. In 2010, Lazaro was named designer of JLM\u2019s Tara\u00a0Keely collection, featuring a simpler, pared down aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by romance and timeless elegance, Lazaro has culled from Hollywood glamour and his\u00a0experiences in theatre and costume design. Lazaro\u2019s latest collection is designed to enchant and\u00a0seduce. He creates frothy ball gowns to sculptured trumpets, with sheer panels that reveal just\u00a0enough. Lazaro combines exquisite materials to create unique fabrications. Metallic gowns sparkle\u00a0under shimmering net, and layers of luscious lace offer tempting textures.<\/p>\n<p>A household name among brides-to-be, Lazaro\u2019s designs are frequently seen on TLC\u2019s hit show,\u00a0\u201cSay Yes To The Dress\u201d and worn by celebrities such as Lilliana Vasquez, Bethany Hamilton and\u00a0Angela Lanter, among others. Lazaro dressed Demi Lovato for her music video, \u2018Tell Me\u00a0You Love Me\u2019 last year. Lazaro has an avid social media following and shares his work and inspirations with\u00a0more than 507K followers on Instagram and 427K on Facebook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lazaro Perez &nbsp; Lazaro Perez is the designer behind his namesake collection Lazaro, and bridge collection, Tara Keely by Lazaro.Lazaro is a visionary in the bridal industry.
