Lauren Bush went to high school in Houston at The Kinkaid School. (Her sister, Ashley, graduated from Kinkaid in 2007.) Bush has studied fashion design at Parsons The New School for Design and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Lauren graduated from Princeton University in 2006 and majored in anthropology. She is a member of The Ivy Club, one of Princeton's ten eating clubs.
Bush is signed with the Elite Model Management. She has been featured on the covers of Vogue and Vanity Fair magazine and frequently modeled for Tommy Hilfiger as well as for Abercrombie & Fitch and designers Gai Mattiolo and Isaac Mizrahi. She was an intern on the television sitcom Friends and had a cameo in one episode, and interned alongside Ashley Olsen with designer Zac Posen. Bush traveled to Chad in 2005 as a Student Ambassador for the World Food Program.
Lauren Bush recently launched a new project on behalf of the UN World Food Programme to fight world hunger. The project is called FEED Projects.
Lauren Bush relaunched her fashion label on September 11, 2008 under the name "Lauren Pierce." About her decision to use her middle name, Pierce, as opposed to her last name for the title of her line, Bush told W magazine in November of 2008 that it "wasn’t a conscious decision." Further pressed, Bush said, “Obviously my last name is associated with politics. But Pierce is my grandmother’s maiden name and my younger brother’s name. It’s not about downplaying my last name as much as it is about loving Pierce. And my brother is very flattered.”
