Once the shoe brand is locked, they will figure the extent of Lara`s involvement and participation in the whole project. It`s a mutual basis agreement. Lara is very excited about it. It`s always been her dream to launch a fitness DVD and shoe collection one of which has come true and the other is happening too.”
