Lisa Ho (born 1960) is an Australian fashion designer born in Albury, on the New South Wales and Victorian border. She is married to Philip Smouha. ==Life and career== She began sewing at age four inspired by her grandmother of African descent,〔(Australian Vogue )〕 a tailoress, whom Ho says she 'probably drove mad'. Ho made patterns out of newspaper and by age 10 had a sewing machine at the end of the kitchen table 'that nobody was allowed to move,' which she used every day to make things for herself and four sisters. Lisa attended Pennant Hills High School. She later trained in fashion design at East Sydney Technical College, graduating in 1981 and spent a year working for three other companies, which she 'hated', before going out on her own. Like many of Australia’s fashion designers, fresh out of college in 1982, Lisa Ho started her career at the Paddington markets for only 6 weeks with her designs that quickly brought her retail and media attention and began the Lisa Ho brand. The Lisa Ho brand was one of the most recognised brands in Australia and had a strong celebrity following with the signature pieces being worn by Delta Goodrem, Bec Cartwright, Sarah Wynter, Elle Macpherson,〔 Sarah Michelle Gellar, Olivia Newton-John〔 and Jennifer Lopez.〔 Her international reputation was first recognised during the Sydney 2000 opening ceremony, which featured a special Lisa Ho designed segment celebrating her role in Australian fashion. She was also asked to design the gown worn by Olivia Newton-John for her performance to welcome the Olympic athletes. Ho's businesses employed 80 staff (excluding out-workers), who manned 12 signature stores and head office. Her label was also stocked in David Jones stores and available world wide via her online store. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lisa Ho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
