 Laura Simmons is the Owner & Operator of Studio 74 Vintage, Fort Worth’s premier, multi-award winning, vintage clothing store for women and men, located in the heart of Fort Worth Texas.

 Fort Worth is known as the unique place where Cowboys and Culture Collide. Inside Studio 74 store you will find just that, a collision of carefully curated high-end vintage fashions, vintage western wear and everything in between.

     Studio 74 Vintage was named as a “ Texas Best Store” by Shop Across Texas as well as BEST BOUTIQUE in Fort Worth by Reader’s of Fort Worth Weekly -2022, and Best Place for Vintage Finds by Reader’s of 76107 Magazine in 2022. They have been featured in Cowboys & Indians Magazine, Justin Boot Company Ads, Western Life & Style, multiple Fort Worth Star Telegram stories, D Magazine, Fort Worth Magazine, 76107 Magazine, The Dallas Observer, Fort Worth Fashion Week, NBC News, Fort Worth Weekly, as well as several movie productions.

Studio 74 Vintage is a must stop destination-shopping location.

     Simmons is a creative, multi-talented, artistic visionary who has not only created a buzz-worthy retail store but has also recently had the opportunity to use her talents in styling 1883 - Actor and Choctaw Native Jeremy Gauna for a piece in Fort Worth Magazine. She also styled a customer in the likes of Jackie Kennedy Onassis by doing her hair, makeup, and wardrobe and accidentally landed the images in Photo VOGUE.  She has also collaborated with Justin Boot Company in styling and providing vintage wardrobe pieces for one of their recent campaigns. Her store is frequented by local celebrities and she’s provided clothing for several film productions. 

     Laura’s background includes a collective 25 year Law Enforcement career, where she jokes that’s she’s worn a uniform her whole life and has never cared about fashion and finds it funny that people are now asking for her fashion advice and styling ability.  For her she says it comes down to just being blessed with a creative mind! She is a self taught photographer and portrait artist, collector and lover of all things history-related, antique and vintage, and a wanna-be archaeologist. She has even sourced two human skulls from two different estate sales within the last year or so and has set out on a mission to research them at length by having them examined, forensically reconstructed and carbon dated. What she discovered was intriguing to say the least. 

A very special "hello!" to our beautiful and stunning friend Louann Jones! XOXO
