The woman behind LaZoy – CLOTHING AND MATHEMATICS
Ulla Hansen
Owner and designer
B.Sc. Economics/Planning, University of Aarhus
Designer/Clothing technician, VIA Design & Business
I grew up in the fashion industry in the city of Herning in Denmark and was educated at VIA Design and Business, but I have also studied mathematics, planning, and economics at the University of Aarhus. Two paths of education which complement each other surprisingly well.
There is a lot of mathematics, in particular geometry, in designing and model construction. Being able to compare the lines, curves and angles in the clothes with the dimensions in the female body is of great importance for the garment fit.
My passion.
My passion is in the fashion industry, but it is about much more than just clothes. I do not “just” design clothes. “Clothes make the woman.” It’s about power clothing for power women. I want to help you so that your choice of clothes expresses exactly what a lovely, beautiful, amazing woman you are.
My own requirements for clothes have always been: It must be feminine. It must be different, meaning not looking like anything else on the market which is often quite similar to each other. It must be easy to wear and easy to wash and of course non-ironing. And as a result the LaZoy concept became just that; feminine, different, comfortable, easy.
My passion lies in doing everything properly and contributing as little as possible to the environmental impact and lack of social responsibility that great parts of the fashion industry are part of. In my work with LaZoy, I have a strong focus on sustainability and CSR, so you can wear the clothes with a clean conscience. We must take care of our planet, its people and animals.

Why shirts and shirt dresses?
Shirts and shirt dresses are equivalent to being well-dressed. No other piece of clothing without comparison can do so much for your well-dressing. The shirt collar signals both being well-dressed, elegance and style-consciousness.
With a LaZoy shirt or shirt dress you can be sure to feel well-dressed, presentable and elegant. The clothes are always perfectly fitting, you do not have to worry about that. And when you get home, you can just throw yourself on the couch without changing first. All the clothes are made of lovely soft elastic fabric, which never feels restraining nor too tight. When traveling, put the clothes in the bag without worrying about ironing in the hotel room. The clothes simply do not need ironing.
