Laura Nolan Horgan is the founder of The LNH Edit, a creative collection of slow fashion and homeware brand known for its beautiful block-printed table linens, pyjamas and home pieces sold worldwide. Before launching LNH Edit, Laura spent 11 years in her family’s fashion business, Fran & Jane, helping grow it to 24 stores and more than 250 staff before the recession forced its closure. Laura talks about entrepreneurship, starting a business after setbacks, and building a global brand online. She also opens up about discovering she carried the BRCA1 cancer gene while pregnant, the preventative surgeries that followed, and why sharing her story has helped so many women.
