» Linda Charoenlab attributes her patience, warmth and compassion - her calling-card traits recognised by those in fashion industry - to being a mother. Rushing back from taking her elderly mother to a hospital for an optical problem, the eminent stylist and Lalalove founder jumped out of her SUV before settling down, in swift manoeuvers, to have a lengthy discussion with a celebrity-cum-aspiring designer who plans to launch her own brand in the near future.
