Cornelia Lautemann, is a German/Guinea fashion designer and founder of CaPaLee, a label formed from the first two letters of her 3 kid’s names: Cattleya, Paulina and Leo Karl.
 
Cornelia got her burining desire for creating beautiful designs and a flay for fashion from her mum.

Cornelia worked as a PR consultant for a global advertising and marketing company based in Qatar. Her passion for fashion still continued behind the scene, as she did her PR job. However, her inspiration to create her own fashion line came in 2011 from a client she manages their advertising, after the client pleasantly admired the outfit she wore to the meeting.
