Which Dragon's Den investor is associated with the British lingerie chain La Senza?

Theo Paphitis is associated with the British lingerie chain La Senza.

Paphitis acquired La Senza in 1988 and helped develop the retailer as a major high-street lingerie business. The chain became known for its branded stores and extensive presence in the United Kingdom and other markets.

His connection with La Senza forms part of a wider retail career that also includes Ryman and Karen Millen. Those brands are frequently mentioned alongside his name, but they represent different businesses and different stages of his commercial career.

Paphitis later appeared as a Dragon on the British television programme Dragon's Den. His retail background shaped the way viewers understood his interest in consumer products, branding, store networks, and margins. Ownership and later corporate changes involving La Senza should not be confused with the fact that Paphitis acquired and developed the chain.
