Flân’ Club: Meet Laura Roso Vidrequin, Founder of Kids O’clock

After many years spent in New York working as a fashion buyer, the French-born Laura Roso Vidrequin settled down with her family in London. Laura is the mother of one-year-old Albert and the founder of the genius second-hand children’s website Kids O’clock. She is the French girl we’ve all dreamed to be, intuitive and witty, effortlessly cool; we were lucky enough to ask Laura about her inspirations, her design addresses, and what she loves in interiors.

Tell us three facts about you.
I am a real optimist, I hate diners with too many people, and I truly believe in mercury retrograde

How did you come up with the idea of Kids O’Clock?
I have been shopping vintage and second hand for a while, when I had Albert (my son) I could not find what I liked and wanted, so I decided to create it.

Could you try and describe good taste in interiors?
Linen on wood, flower prints on marble, exposed bricks on velvet.
I truly believe that harmony comes from a whole vision, rather than within a single piece.

How would you define bad taste in interiors?

Dentist lighting is bad taste, any colour neon on a wall is bad taste, and I think that collecting thousands of little figurines in porcelain (and exposing them) is bad taste.

Another fact about myself, is that I can be quite arch, but that’s okay no?
