"Dara Lamb is an unlikely bespoke woman’s tailor.

The event, which garnered $3.5 million and honored Michael Bloomberg, featured whimsical headdresses masking a serious dedication to the restoration of the park and to the judicious spending of the money raised."
"I have clients who started with me when they were junior vice presidents and are now CFOs," says Lamb, who credits her made-to-order designs with helping to empower her successful customers, many of whom have been loyal for 20 years."

"My clients are the highlight of almost every day. They are incredible women doing amazing things, and I help them stand out with custom clothing and an impeccable fit that gives them their own signature style. It is incredibly gratifying."
