Member Featured in Atlanta Magazine

Vicky Smith, a KD Night member, and her clothing company, 4Laces, are featured in the August issue of Atlanta magazine. The idea for 4 Laces came in early 2006 when Vicky, a UGA alumna, was looking for fashionable and color coordinated outfits to wear to football games. She would use a red sash and tie it around a black dress or some variation thereof. She knew that she could create something better, though she had no formal training in fashion design; only a keen fashion sense and a love for trendy and fashionable clothes.

The vision for 4 Laces centers around the clothing line and its versatility of being worn for any type of social event, be it a cocktail party, tailgate or evening event. The long term focus of 4 Laces is to establish itself as an enterprise that encompasses multiple demographics, being careful not to forget the customer's children and the other important members of the family, the pets... after all, Vicky has two rescue dogs of her own. You can check out Vicky's designs on her website www.4laces.com!
