Calgary-Based Entrepreneur is Changing the Way We Sleep - Calgary - Canada’s Podcast

<p>If you ask <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/lara-smith-212a4754/'>Lara Smith</a> what led her to create Lusomé, she would tell you it was partly circumstantial, partly destiny.</p> <p>She kicked off her 20-year career at two of the biggest fashion houses in the world - Ralph Lauren and Gucci - and quickly worked her way up as a senior executive at some of Canada’s largest retailers. There, she traveled the globe to discover and create innovative apparel solutions that would make a difference in the lives of consumers.</p> <p>But it wasn’t until Lara watched her sister battle with breast cancer and the uncomfortable, long-term side effects that resulted from her treatments that she set out to find the most important solution of all - a solution to preventing overheating and night sweats in the clothing that is meant to make us feel beautiful. Lara looked throughout North America and Europe for a sleep brand with beautiful style and fabrics, but they were using 100% polyester and chemicals in the finishing process. Not to mention, their cooling technology never truly worked.</p> <p>That’s when Lara decided to create her own solution, one that fuses beauty, comfort and science. Her vision came to life through <a href='https://lusome.com/'>Lusomé</a>, a new pajama brand that promotes the health and sleep of its wearers through first-of-its-kind technology that stops night sweats before it starts.</p> <p>Entrepreneurs are the backbone of Canada’s economy.
