Larisa Olson

CEO Chantilly Lace Lingerie

Larisa grew up in Chicago, the daughter of an entrepreneur who purchased a failing framing and furniture business and revitalized it. After many crazy adventures, Larisa studied set and costume design in the UCLA masters program, but over the years also spent much time in immersion with her father's framing, showroom, as the showroom coordinator. (had to organize a very chaotic business!) Years later, after more adventures, including some time in real estate, her father encouraged her to purchase a business as well, Chantilly Lace, a tiny rundown lingerie shop in the middle of one percent white bread America. She has since revamped the business and turned it into one of this countries lingerie power houses. Chantilly Lace is estimated to be one of the top five largest lingerie & swim shops in this country.
