What you'll learn in this episode: Why working with jewelry designers is part business, part therapy. Why the jewelry industry is picking up its pace to match the fashion industry, and why this trend might backfire. Why customer feedback on comfort and wearability is essential for jewelry brands. How Lionel defines success for his jewelry clients. What caused so many fashion houses to develop fine jewelry lines in the last few years, and what this trend means for the industry. About Lionel Geneste Lionel Geneste is a fashion and luxury industry veteran, having worked for John Hardy, Givenchy, Catherine Malandrino and Randolph Duke in various capacities, from global marketing to communications and merchandising. He is also the founder of the gift-giving service b.Sophisticated. Born in Tehran to French parents, Geneste grew up as a modern nomad: Cairo, Istanbul, Lagos, Beirut, Paris are just a few places he once called home. And so he acquired an eclectic eye, at an early age, for the refined and urbane—only further encouraged by his clotheshorse mother and her like-minded friends. Additional Resources Website Instagram Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: How does an independent jewelry brand get noticed? For some lucky jewelers, the secret is Lionel Geneste. Lionel is a jewelry strategist and advisor who has launched iconic brands, shown new collections at Paris couture week, and gotten small jewelry artists into top stores. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how the jewelry industry compares to the fashion industry; the trends, opportunities and challenges jewelers are facing today; and how he chooses his clients (and why he has to believe in their work). Read the episode transcript here. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey, exploring the hidden world of art around you. Because every piece of art has a story, and jewelry is no exception. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today, I'm talking with Lionel Geneste. He's an independent strategist in the jewelry industry. He does this after 15 years in fashion, so he knows fashion and jewelry. Welcome back. Let's say people haven't seen the lines of these jewels or the independent jewelers that you represent. Do they say, “Oh, I haven't seen this. I want it for my store”? Lionel: Right. They do that. Everybody has access to everything pretty much now, with Instagram or even stores posting on their websites. I tend to have a collection or a certain number of pieces with me, and then I distribute it amongst the stores I work with. I still give the list of everything I have within the U.S. So, if a client has seen something and it's not within their store, I will send it to them to present to the client. It's very interesting. Once the client knows the brand, they really go for it. They dig into the Instagram to see other pieces. I think you have to be very fluid and flexible, and you have to be able to move around your jewelry if you want to accommodate your plan. Sharon: What are the first things you advise people, your new clients, on? Is it to get involved with social media? Lionel: I know we all hear the stories of people selling off Instagram. I think the brick and mortar is still—at a certain level, we're talking about jewelry. It's different below $8,000. It's very rare when someone buys it from a website. Even a website like Moda Operandi, for example, if there is a piece— Sharon: Which one? Lionel: Moda Operandi. It's a website that was launched on the idea of doing trunk shows on there. For example, they will very often ask for the piece to be sent so they can show it to their clients. It's rare that they buy it directly off the website. I think for pieces that are $500 to $2,000, maybe $3,000, but above a certain price, the clients want to see it, feel it. Sharon: And touch it. When you look for new clients, what do you look for? What would you consider new? Would you consider if the way they make it is new? Lionel: There are there a few things. If I take them, for example, Mike Joseph is very interesting. He has great technique. The jewelry is going to be well made. He made this entire collection of flowers in titanium, but he used the reverse side of titanium to have it as a matte finish, as opposed to a very glossy one. I think with this collection, when he was at couture, he won two prizes. So, I think he is both innovative and has great technique. Vishal, I like his take on traditional Indian jewelry, which has a lot of gold and stones, but he makes it much more sleek. The thing is not to see the metal. I don't know if you're familiar with the portrait cut. Sharon: No, I'm not. Lionel: The portrait cut is a slab of diamond. It's the Maharaja who built the Taj Mahal who actually asked his jeweler to do this type of slab of diamonds to put on top of their portraits so it would bring a shine to the miniature. So, it's a technique, and Vishal does rings and earrings. I think that's an interesting new way. I'm always looking for people who bring something new to the table. Sharon: You mentioned the perspective. How could their perspective be new? When you talk to other art jewelers, sometimes you look at a piece and it looks normal, then they tell you the stories behind it and you understand it better. Lionel: True. You can always try to understand the story. When you see Vishal make some of these pieces, I think you almost don't need the explanation. You see that there is something new there. I'm not saying it's wrong to try to have the story behind it, but I kind of like when—I've had numerous jewelers come in. They're coming to me and showing me things, and the thing I hear the most is, “I couldn't find this on the market.” And I look at the pieces, and I'm like, “I can bring you in 10 stores when there's exactly the same thing.” And I think, “No.” Sharon: So it's their technique with the materials they use. Lionel: The technique, the material, the inspiration. With Vishal it's the reinterpretation of traditional Indian jewelry, but it's still very modern and light. Sylvie has more inspiration from literature or drawings. She goes to museums to find her inspiration. Sharon: I was just thinking, do you represent people who are goldsmiths themselves making the jewelry, as opposed to them designing it and they have a goldsmith make it? Lionel: Mike and Vishal have their own factories, so they are really following from the beginning, from the start. Sylvie has an atelier. She draws. Sharon: Were you a maker of jewelry? Lionel: No. Never. I've always liked jewelry, but I was never a jewelry maker. Sharon: Have you learned over the years how something is made? Lionel: Yes. I've learned more about the stones. I've learned more about the techniques. It's important to sell something, as you said earlier, to bring the most information. People are really curious today about how it's made and the story behind it. Sharon: No matter who your client is, are they interested in the way it's made? Do they ask you questions? Lionel: There are different profiles. People who just respond to the look of it are not curious, and it depends on the jewelry itself. With Vishal, because of this new way and this new cut of diamond, people are asking. It's always interesting to get the background on it because there is a new historical background. Mike, for example, with his flowers connection, people were really intrigued by the use of titanium and how it was not used traditionally. So, yes, you get questions on that. Sharon: How often do you see something new that you haven't seen before? Is it once a year? Lionel: It's rare, actually, when you see people who are bringing something really new, a new proposal. Some people are doing stuff in a great way. Not everything has to be groundbreaking, and I get that. I go to couture every year, so I kind of scout, but just for myself. I like to see what's going on. That's not where I'm going to have a new client or anything. It's interesting to me to see what's new. Sometimes I see someone, and I refer them to all the stores, saying, “You should go and see that brand. It's really cool. It's new.” Sharon: Do you advise a store to go look at the different jewelry? Lionel: Yeah, I would, even if I don't work with them. I think stores appreciate that I do that. I think the one thing I'm known for is taking on brands that are different and unique. When I point out someone that I think is great, they will listen. Sharon: Do you only work with people who work in gold or emeralds? You mentioned John Hardy. He only works in silver. Lionel: No. For John Hardy, I went for the one-of-a-kind collection that was very stone oriented. No, I don't. The next big thing I did, I worked with Hearts on Fire, which was kind of relaunching and just hired a new designer. That was very interesting, to work with a big company. The idea of bringing this new designer on and kind of starting from scratch was an interesting thing. We worked on opening different stores and more classic, more bridal. That was an interesting strategy to implement. Sharon: Did you advise them of a designer or did you walk in and they introduced you to a new designer? Lionel: They already had the designer in mind, so we looked at the collection. They asked me about their archive and what I thought they should bring back on. I think my background with fashion and jewelry always interests people because they know I still have a foot in the fashion industry in a way. Sharon: If somebody is in the fashion industry now, can they segue? How can they segue to doing what you're doing if they got tired of fashion? Lionel: I think I know people who did the transition from fashion to jewelry. In the end, it's the same actors. In the press and the stores, it's the same people, except for the jewelry stores. But if you talk about all the concept stores that carry jewelry as well, it's easy to do. It's the same work, basically. Sharon: So, they wouldn't be getting away from that. Do you do pop-ups? They have become popular here. Lionel: They do. I don't necessarily do pop-ups. They call it differently. For example, Vishal did something at Bergdorf called the Residency. We were in for three months, and it was very successful. It is now going to be permanent for Vishal. We'll be at Bergdorf all the time. I think the model of trunk shows is a bit overused. It's kind of difficult to make typical trunk shows today. Again, in a certain world, once you're at a certain price point, some stores are doing a lot of them, and it's the same people that you're soliciting over and over. There's only so much you can do. Sharon: With Vishal, what do you consider successful? You said he was successful in this residency. Was that Vishal? Lionel: Vishal. The brand is called VAK. Sharon: What was successful? What was the purpose of the residency? Lionel: The jewelry is very well-made. It's a beautiful product and not terribly expensive. I think the proposal is that the value is great, and it was new. It's a new look. The salespeople were excited about it, and I think they really reached out to their clients. That's what made it successful in the end. Sharon: You say now he's there permanently. Lionel: Yes. Sharon: He has what, a cabinet? Lionel: Yeah, a vitrine. There's a vitrine now in the salon. Sharon: Do you ever have to pay to have prominence? Lionel: No. Sharon: What are your favorite things to sell? Lionel: I like two things. I like rings, and I like earrings. Sylvie Corbelin has a quote that I always liked. She'll say that earrings are a gift for the other. You don't see it on yourself, but it's the people who see you, see the earrings. My mother, for example, would never go out without earrings. She would put on a pair of earrings to match, and it was for her to feel dressed. She didn't feel that she was dressed if she was not wearing earrings. And I like big cocktail rings. Sharon: What kind of jewelry do you like for men? Do you like bracelets or necklaces? Lionel: I do like bracelets for men or a nice pinky ring, I guess. Sharon: I was surprised. I went out to lunch with somebody who had what I consider a fabulous necklace, but I would never consider it for a man. He got so many comments on it. Lionel: I'm sure. A lot of guys now are buying diamond pieces. I think there's a way to wear it that's chic. Sharon: How long have you been in the jewelry business? Lionel: 18 years. Sharon: It's a long time. What changes have you seen over that time? Lionel: A lot of jewelry coming. A lot more jewelry. Sharon: Really? Lionel: Yeah. You see all the brands. Now the big trend—I was just saying yesterday, Prada is launching fine jewelry. Saint Laurent has launched fine jewelry. There's Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci. Everybody's betting on jewelry being the moneymaker. I think the biggest growth we can see right now is men's. Men are buying jewelry. Sharon: Would you say there are a lot more independent jewelers today than there were? Lionel: Not only independent, but also all the houses are launching their own lines. Clothing houses, like Prada is launching a line. Saint Laurent is launching a line. Dior did it 20 years ago, but everybody's hopping on the jewelry train. Sharon: Why do you think that is? Lionel: I think there is a real interest again for jewelry. A wider interest than just buying, but as an investment. I think also during Covid, jewelry kind of proved to be Covid-proof. I think a lot of people got the idea that jewelry was the next big thing, because it's true that 2021 was an extraordinary year for jewelry. However, I don't think it's really a trend. I think it was at the moment, and we've seen since that the numbers have been down. The money that women would put in clothes and handbags and shoes, they were not going out, so that money went to jewelry, which was great. But I think it was instant. It was not necessarily a trend. Sharon: Did your business go up because of Covid? Lionel: Huge. We saw a huge difference. Sharon And you've seen it go down or be flat? Lionel: Go down and then flat. But go down, definitely. Sharon: When you take on new clients, do they have to be making a certain amount? What do they have to have? What criteria do you use? Lionel: Well, yes, I make sure they have enough finance to launch a business and to make it start. First of all, you need to have at least three or four years in front of you. There's no instant success. However, I'm always conservative in their growth. I'm not going to ask them to put out a lot of pieces. I think it's always about opening two or three key stores that are generating enough buzz as marketing, if you will, to help grow. But try not to overflow the market. Sharon: What if they're independent and making things you usually don't represent, but you think there's something there, an innovation or a passion? Maybe they make pieces that sell for $3,000 or $5,000. That's their niche. Would you take somebody like them on? Lionel: Yeah, I do. All the jewelers I work with, the price point starts at $5,000, $6,000. Sharon: I won't even ask you how much it goes up to. Thank you so much for being here today. Lionel: Thank you. Sharon: I feel like I roped you in from a plane ride or something. Lionel: No, no. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me. Sharon: Thank you for being here.

What you'll learn in this episode: How Kentshire's partnership with Ulla Johnson came about and what they hope will come of it Why Matthew doesn't want his clients to keep their fine jewelry in a safe deposit box Why “Do I love it?” is the first question Matthew asks when looking at jewelry, and why things like designer or carats may not be as important as you think How Covid changed the vintage jewelry market How dealers work together to source the best jewelry for their clients About Matthew Imberman Matthew Imberman, along with his sister Carrie, are the co-presidents of Kentshire Galleries. Established in 1940 and spanning three generations of family ownership, Kentshire Galleries is one of the foremost dealers of fine period and estate jewelry. In 1988, Kentshire established a free-standing boutique in New York's premier luxury store, Bergdorf Goodman. Their antique and estate jewelry department continues to occupy a select location on the store's seventh floor. As the third generation of the family to lead Kentshire, Matthew and Carrie continue to refine the gallery's founding vision: buying and selling outstanding jewelry and objects of enduring design and elegance. Additional resources: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Through a partnership with fashion designer Ulla Johnson, Kentshire Fine Jewelry will have a permanent presence on the West Coast for the first time. While other dealers might change their approach to appeal to a new market, co-president Matthew Imberman continues to buy jewelry based on one criterium: whether he loves the piece or not. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the history behind the collaboration with Ulla Johnson; why following trends isn't the best way to buy jewelry; and how Covid changed his business in surprising ways. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. Today, my guest is Matthew Imberman, who, along with his sister, Carrie, is Co-President of Kentshire Fine Jewelry. At Kentshire, fine jewelry encompasses almost everything that you would categorize as fine jewelry: bridal, engagement rings, signed pieces, retro and even fine costume jewelry. They're the third generation to be involved in jewelry. Their administrative office is on Fifth Avenue in New York, and their retail location is on the seventh floor of Bergdorf Goodman. Matthew is a returning guest who was with us several years ago in the pre-Covid days. Now, I'm excited to hear about his collaboration with the designer Ulla Johnson in their new store in West Hollywood. It's not often that New York jewelers come out this way, so I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. Matthew, welcome to the podcast. Matthew: Thank you for having me. Sharon: I'm so glad you're here. What about the West Coast clientele surprised as you were doing the store? Matthew: We have deep roots on the West Coast despite not having our own Kentshire branded store out there. We've been longtime exhibitors at the San Francisco Fall Show. The show has had some changes through the years, but we've been exhibiting for more than three decades, easily. Because of that, we've tracked with some of the West Coast feeling of our clients. Throughout the years, we've done different shows in L.A. At one point, we did have an agreement where we sold our pieces at Gump's. It's not that we are new to the West Coast, per se, but we have taken a bit of a hiatus. So, we were interested in getting out there and bringing what we have to our clients who are there. But by and large, it's not that we have a different sensibility about what we do for the West Coast versus the East. Kentshire has its viewpoint, which is a simple one. Carrie and I buy things that we think to be interesting, made well, rare. Whether it's from a famous designer or not, something that's not something you see every day and that we think will please a variety of our clients' sensibilities, but primarily it also has to please ours. At the end of the day, we end up looking at the pieces, whether they're with us for just a day or whether they're with us for a few years, so we buy things we like. We think that's a good viewpoint for anyone. So, for our West Coast clients, we are not such nose-in-the-air New Yorkers. We love our West Coast clients. We have family on the West Coast. We've spent a lot of time there, so for us, it wasn't like, “Oh, my god! We have to think through a whole new client type.” It was, “No, we're so excited to bring something we do to clients that, in some cases, do know us because we've been out there or they visit us at Bergdorf, but also clients who we haven't seen and who are friends of friends or know us through Ulla.” So, we touch all bases there. Sharon: I think you mentioned earlier Gump's San Francisco Show. I don't even know if they're still having that show. Matthew: It did take a few years off during Covid. It is happening again. I believe it's the 14th or 15th of October—I'll have to look back on the dates—at the Fort Mason Complex in the Festival Pavilion. I know this year Lauren Santo Domingo from Moda Operandi is attached as one of the social chairs. They have a fantastic gala evening. The show is run by Suzanne Tucker's entertainment team, who is just a consummate professional. What a combination of taste and savvy there. So, we're excited to be there, but we did the show when it was at the Santa Monica Air Hangar in the years back. We've done different shows off and on. It's been harder, I think, for a show to stick there, so to speak, but we also think it's a good fit for us. We've certainly started and stopped a few different shows in L.A., but it's been a long time since we've been in the city proper. I should add, actually—I'm leaving out the most glaringly obvious thing we did there. When Opening Ceremony had their larger line with accessories before the company went through restructuring during Covid, we also had our fine jewelry in Opening Ceremony. That both had a fashion bent and had a lot of store-within-a-store feeling, similar to what we're doing with Ulla. We had a targeted collection that was there in L.A. that represented us on the West Coast. We did that for, oh gosh, at least five years, I think. Sharon: I must have missed that because there's not any fine jewelry, except for maybe the big, commercial jewelers that are out here in Los Angeles. From what I've been told and from what I see, the clientele is very different. Matthew: It's funny. You know more because your boots are on the ground. We have a different feeling, but I'll say even looking at clients reaching out to us through Instagram or our website, we find that certainly the West is very well represented. The information, the data behind it, can sometimes be skewed because we have clients who come into Bergdorf, and they must happen to mention to us, “Oh, I'm visiting from the West Coast.” Maybe we'll get a little more granular detail, but I do know that when we look at the information, which we try stay up on for how people approach us and our work, we certainly feel that the West Coast is no slouch when it comes to looking at jewelry. I think that also shows with some of the dealers out there. Sharon: There's money out here to buy it. Maybe it's because I'm not really wild about the kind of jewelry they tend to wear. Who did you work with in terms of Ulla Johnson? Did they come to you, the designer? Matthew: I wish Carrie were here for a number of reasons. She's my business partner and obviously brings a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience to the business, but she and Ulla have been longtime friends. I've known Ulla for a very long time, too. Ulla's husband and her family have been close for a long time because my sister and I share a friend group, and she's got some really wonderful friends. They've just had an affinity for each other and known each other, came up through a variety of different jobs together, and have always been very close. Ulla has always had a fantastic eye and really understood antique pieces, understood how a combination of design, manufacturing and color all come together to set some of these pieces apart. Throughout the years, she has grown in her notoriety, which now is incredible to see looking at the store on the West Coast in a picture, which we don't get to see in person until we go out in September. We're going to do a little trunk show, which I'll do a shameless plug for, on the 20th of September. We'll have more info for you as plans come together. Ulla has been a client of ours and borrowed things from us. We've worked together because we're friends, but sometimes friends don't always work well together. In this case, it's been beautiful because she's got such a clear vision of what she designs. It suits our inventory. Again, there's a reason she and her are friends. People tend to share a visual vocabulary. It's been a really good, seamless blend of both being in allied fields, jewelry and fashion obviously marching together to the same step, but also our viewpoints of what matters in terms of how things are designed, how things are proportioned, how colors work together or don't work together, how these things can interplay. We've been fortunate to count Ulla as a client, but much more fortunate to count her as a friend and somebody who inspires what we do when we look at things and address clients. What is she looking at? How are those things playing together? There's a lovely synergy there. Sharon: Were you involved in picking the jewelry, or was it Carrie and Ulla who picked the jewelry to go in the store? Matthew: I take a much more hands-off approach in terms of that because Carrie and Ulla do not need to hear from me. I'm always happy when my opinion is asked for, but I also understand, and given that Carrie and Ulla are old friends—really, friends are not the same. They're very, very close. My influence is surplus to their needs. They've got it beyond spades, what they need to do, and they play off of each other. Ulla has a very clear vision of what she wants. She'll look at our collection or see things as they pop up on Instagram and get in touch and say, “What about this? What about that?” Similarly, when Carrie and I shop—because, again, we look for clients that we like. We love clients who are buying for themselves with a clear viewpoint, and that is Ulla to a T. So, we'll look at things as we're buying them and say, “This is the kind of thing that is for Ulla or her store or this kind of client.” One can never expect that means if you buy that piece, it sells in that way, but it does pull a spring at times on how we're acquiring certain parts of our collection. Thus far, it's proved pretty accurate. Sharon: I'm surprised. I'm the same as you; I've only seen the pictures of the store. There doesn't seem to be a lot of jewelry, at least from the pictures. Matthew: In the press pictures, it's hard to see. When they did the press pictures and when the store opened are largely different things. Obviously, one has to get the message out ahead of time before they open the doors. In one of the pictures, you can actually physically see the showcases, but I can send subsequent pictures that show you the jewelry displayed in them. There are two lovely floor cases, top-down vitrines that you'd be looking into. We're not looking to have 20 showcases. Given our requirements for how we purchase things and what they need to look like and the requirements we have for how we buy inventory, if we needed a whole new inventory for an entire store of jewelry, it would be extremely difficult. Right now, with the stock we have—not that everything sells immediately, but buying things is challenging because we do have a viewpoint and specific standards. Not to say there aren't a few things here and there that might be more bread and butter or commercial pieces. Even when we're sending things out to Ulla, we're looking for things where it doesn't matter. It's not like, “Oh, we're sending them out to another collection, so it can be different from what we put at Bergdorf.” Everything has pretty strict standards. In Ulla's space, they have two lovely, very interestingly built cases, I have to say. They're things I would never be clever enough to design in a million years, but it's displayed very, very beautifully. It's a very focused collection. We're not talking about 500, 600 pieces. Sharon: So, you do have vitrines and showcases. Matthew: Yes. Sharon: Nothing shows. It looks like you just have a few pieces. Matthew: That's just in the press photos. I understand with these things, there's always pressure to get the press photos out so the major press can be done, and the major message there should be Ulla. We are kind of an inclusion below the fold, but inasmuch as we are there, as they merchandise and get the pieces out there, this is the soft opening, as they say. Every store has to work out some of the kinks when it opens. In this case, it's easier for us given the nature of what we sell and it being valuable things that can't be just mixed in and around the inventory to cover Ulla after the fact. The formal opening is going to be closer into October, when we come out. By then, we'll have better photos of how everything is displayed in the store. People will come here and say, “There's always a new way to do design that somebody hasn't seen.” At the end of the day, it's still jewelry on props. Whatever they are, you still want people to see it and go after it. I think it's a tremendous success, given that they have a wonderful designer they worked with. Ulla herself has such a vision, and we were happy to be in the mix. Sharon: I think it's a really nice idea. It adds a lot to a store because you usually see—I don't mean to disparage it—but costume jewelry or whatever the store is selling. You don't see fine jewelry. How do you keep it secure? Matthew: It's all locked up at night, similar to what we do at Bergdorf. Things are in a locked case. If a client wants to see a piece, they work with a sales associate who will show it to them, and then everything is secured at the end of the day. Any proper jewelry store should be doing that. We're extremely careful and have all our little operations in place. We know their team is a crack team, too, and we will be doing everything to keep it very safe. Sharon: It looks like quite a large store from the pictures. Everything I'm talking about is from the pictures. Matthew: Yeah, but if you think of it this way, we operate in Bergdorf, which is a tremendously huge store and has so much going on. Once you know the order of operations and the sales associates understand the specific rules for showing jewelry, it's fairly straightforward and pretty easy. Nowadays it's different. Everything is very secure. Everyone has cameras in their spaces. We were doing retail for quite a long time before the advent of cameras and different sensors and all these ways of keeping things safe through technology. We feel very confident. Sharon: Do you think it's bigger than most of the stores in that area? That was my impression. Matthew: This is where I have to say I couldn't myself say. I am not an expert on that area of Beverly Boulevard or how the different retailers are size-wise. I know that when we started, it was quite a large store. We felt very comfortable because we're working with partners who we know well, who are leaders in their fields and have people working with them that are excellent. Given that Ulla is quite an accomplished designer and has a sizeable presence in New York already and obviously sells in other outlets and units, I would imagine that her store is commensurate with the level of success she's seen in our store, which is to say appropriate to what she does. Whether bigger or smaller than one of her colleagues, I don't know. Sharon: Do you or Carrie have any input in the design of the store? Matthew: No. Again, this is a lovely partnership and a meeting of minds, but our partnership is—like you said, where some retailers out there might fill their jewelry section with costume jewelry they've licensed out to someone else to design, or maybe they have a third party doing it. I think what Ulla saw in us is the idea that we have a similar viewpoint for how we present what we do. Part of the reason, even when you see on social media—if you look at Ulla on the internet, you see how she's wearing her own designs and her jewelry. It works so well together. Similarly, with the store, our input wasn't needed or even appropriate because it's Ulla's space to let her designs shine. But we know that whatever she does, her pieces are going to look good within the context of that collection. Despite what the store looks like, the main imprint is still, visually, that all of her wonderful clothing designs and our pieces have worked thus far. We obviously have the utmost confidence in both her and her designer to create an environment that would be wonderful for us to show our jewelry. Sharon: I don't know what Bergdorf carries, but do people come to you with one of her designs and say, “What can you recommend to go with this?” Matthew: I could certainly ask my sales staff. At Bergdorf it's not uncommon, whether it's Ulla or other designers, because we work across the store. We have our own specific private salon right on the seventh floor next to the restaurant. It's a little different than the main jewelry shown the ground floor. It's just our material, just our sales staff that works for us specifically, and we serve as an outlet for the rest of the store for what is essentially the antique and estate department at Bergdorf. What happens frequently is, whether it's an associate who is working in Ulla's section or somebody working in Chanel, they'll come and say, “I have a client who's looking at a gown and needs something to wear with it. This is a picture of the gown. What can you recommend?” Then the client would be able to try on the dress or whatever they're looking at with our pieces. If something works for them and they like it, then great; we can help them out that way. Certainly, that's part of it. One of the benefits for us to be in Bergdorf, aside from the fact that obviously it's Bergdorf and it gets a wonderful assortment of people who come to shop at the store, it puts us in the context of what people are wearing. While we have collectors who might specifically collect the pieces and wearing is secondary, by and large, our goal is for people to wear what they buy. We firmly believe things should not sit in the safe deposit box. They interact with the designer's clothing while the client is trying it on with our pieces. That's the best effect overall, I think, for a client looking at how the pieces are represented when they get them home and when they wear them. They look at them with the real eye. Sharon: Is there a decrease in the kind of people who are buying a Chanel piece, let's say, or a Chanel gown, a red carpet look? Matthew: Oh gosh, in terms of a red-carpet look, that's where my knowledge of Bergdorf sell-through would be behind. “I don't know” is the answer, but I can certainly say Chanel is experiencing a slowdown, at least judging by the number of people who shop at the Chanel departments at Bergdorf. Overall, I don't think I'm any genius or original thinker for thinking this. People have become less formal overall, but that hasn't really changed what we do. Yes, we have pieces that might be, to some clients, extremely occasion-specific and one or two pieces that would have to be worn for a red-carpet look, but what we're mostly buying is something that, given somebody's own personal comfort level, they can wear with anything. Whether it's a Deco diamond bracelet or it's a really simple pair of gold earrings, it's not for us to say, “Oh, you can only wear that at a fancy dress occasion,” or “Oh, that's just casual.” We like to think that's where one's own sense of creativity comes into play, because we buy things with the idea they'll be worn. We're not looking to pass on family heirlooms to sit in a box all year long. We really love our clients to experience their goods, wear them, have the confidence to wear them however they're going out. At the end of the day, it's one of those simple, little items that can really change how an outfit looks or how you feel. Sharon: I keep thinking about the jewelry in L.A. The collaboration you have, did that come about because you all were having dinner one night and you said, “Why don't we do this?” What happened? Matthew: In this case, Ulla, in opening her West Coast store—and I'm speaking secondhand because she and my sister initially had the conversations, but Carrie and I do everything together. So, it became a discussion we all had at one point. I think it was something as casual as, “I'm opening up a store on the West Coast. It would be great to have some Kentshire pieces there.” We feel so fortunate to have Ulla as a partner in this, specifically because she's such a good friend and has been so supportive of us when we took over the business. She has been herself one of the more inspiring collectors we have. Looking at the variety of pieces she's purchased that range from very modern to very old to things that are almost costume to things that are extremely fine—everything together, there's such a personal viewpoint about how these pieces come together. I took it as an incredible honor when she said she wanted to include us, because I don't think Ulla necessarily needs us to sell her fashion. She's so capable of creating a look that is beyond what we're able to think about. We're jewelers. We don't think about fashion that way necessarily, although we're certainly around it and we love it. In this case, I think it was a much more casual meeting of the minds where she said, “You know what? We all love each other. Let's work this out.” Then Carrie and Ulla talked about the details and figured out how it would work, and I played a supporting role in doing whatever I could do. Now we're seeing the fruits of that together as the collection is coming out West and people are starting to see it. Sharon: You mentioned some of the—I'll call them baby things you've tried out here, but do you think this is a beginning? Do you intend to do other things and make your brand more known out here? Matthew: Certainly, we would like our brand to be more known out there. In some ways, it's the biggest no-brainer for us, in that we have a lot of clients out on the West Coast, not just specifically the Northeast. We have a lot of clients who've purchased from us over the years. The challenge for us is always that I can't call up the factory and say, “Send me another 300 of those antique bracelets I sold.” We're a piece at a time. So, the challenge is always finding enough material that meets our qualifications so we can service all our clients. I think what we're hoping to see happen, all of us, is that this becomes successful, and we continue to grow our presence with Ulla and create a bigger collection for her there, which allows us to run similarly to how we run in New York. It's a comfortable setting for us, being in a fashion space and having clients coming in we know are already in the mindset of looking at jewelry and clothing together. I don't know if we necessarily have the appetite to open our own store out West, all things being equal, simply because it's more than a full-time job between Bergdorf and the website. So, for us having a partner like Ulla who can handle the day-to-day operations—and her team is so wonderful. To be able to do that is invaluable to us. We'll be doing trunk shows out there where we come and meet people at Ulla's store and introduce them to her brand and our brand, absolutely. That's something that will be starting in September on the 20th in the afternoon there. Then we'll continue as it goes and as we all find a good rhythm for how that works. Sharon: So, she did buy high-end. She bought what I call regular pieces that you wear every day and really high-end, over-the-top, red-carpet stuff. Matthew: We don't deal in things that we think are over the top simply because we're not looking to sell such specific pieces that way. It's not to say we never have, but it's by and large not a focus of our collection. I think what is incredible about Ulla's eye is she's looking specifically for what she likes. She's not looking at the of-the-moment piece or asking, “What do I see happening in the next year?” and it shows with her clothing. Ulla has this specific viewpoint. She'll see something in our collection and the first qualification isn't, “Oh, does it cost a lot or a little?” or “Is it by this designer?” It's, “Do I like it?” It's the simplest question, “Do I like it?” I think that nowadays, it's easy to get misled, even in the vintage jewelry world, with what's the hot thing now or who's the hot maker. At the end of day, for us, the most important consideration is, “Do you love it?” I know it sounds pedantic to say that, but I think it's easy sometimes to have the other parts of the piece drive it. Somebody will say, “Oh, who is it?” first or they'll say, “How much is it?” or “What's the size of the stone?” or what have you. This can all be important. I'm not saying they're not, but I think we're a good match for Ulla because we all approach the concept first of, “Do we love this? Does this excite us?” And then, “Why does it excite us?” Then, as you start to uncover the parts of what the piece is, if it's by somebody, if it's from a certain place, if it's from a certain time period, if it's got a rare stone, then those add to the excitement. But it has to be something inherently beautiful and unusual. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to the JewelryJourney.com to check them out.
It is notoriously difficult to succeed in the luxury indie beauty space, and not many brands do. But by all accounts, Noble Panacea has superseded all expectations. Noble Panacea launched in Oct. 2019, emerging as the result of the scientific discoveries of Sir Fraser Stoddard, a scientist who has received numerous awards, including the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His discovery of the organic super molecular vessel technology, also called OSMV, is the core of Nobel Panacea and its unique ingredient delivery system. The brand made a splash with a launch event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and has since signed on actress Jodie Comer as a brand ambassador. The brand is distributed in 13 countries and sold through retailers like Neiman Marcus, Harrods, Net-a-Porter and Moda Operandi. It has approximately 50 full-time employees. Céline Talabaza, CEO of Noble Panacea, spoke with Glossy beauty and wellness editor Emma Sandler about what attracted her to the brand, how the brand is approaching the Asian market and what a luxury approach to social media looks like.
If you have a petite body type, finding your sense of style might land you a seat on the struggle bus. Basically, it's about proportion and finding the right balance. One thing is for certain though, there are some common petite pitfalls you need to know to avoid making critical fashion mistakes! In this episode, Your Favorite Personal Stylist Holly Katz answers fashion questions from one of our loyal listeners, and now a Fashion Bestie - about “What to Wear if You are Petite.” One key thing to know: If you are petite, you have special accommodations that you need for a cohesive wardrobe. It's important for you to know that setting yourself up for success is of utmost importance to elevate your style as you age. #TRUTH First, the definition of petite is 5'2”/ 5'3"or under, and wears a Size 2 or smaller. (Be aware that all body types can be petite, so you can add curvy or plus-size to this definition as well. You are still considered petite, but your wardrobe needs will be different.) For the purposes of this conversation, we are going to be talking about very small sizing. The struggle for a petite person to find a good fit is real. It's even harder to find fashionable clothes that fit well. You are most likely spending your life savings to have clothes altered to fit, or worse, buying just about anything that fits off the rack. When styling a petite client, Holly starts with her Wardrobe Checklist: What are the essentials you must have in your wardrobe, regardless of style, body shape, age, or profession? You need a copy of this Wardrobe Checklist! #nonnegosh Please go to this link: https://mailchi.mp/1d6670bb70d8/the-only-wardrobe-checklist-you-will-ever-need Regardless of your size or body shape, you still need the fundamentals and the foundations of well-fitting and intentional wardrobe, and this mostly means undergarments. Don't let your petite status trick you into thinking you don't need a proper bra (after a proper bra-fitting) and shapewear. A petite person has the extra-added step of trying to create the illusion of curves or shape where there might be none, and these can help. PETITE FASHION CRIMES: Wearing oversized or baggy clothing to hide your small size or lack of shape. You also are not required to wear body-con or tight-fitting clothing just because you are petite. Sophisticated slacks, layering pieces and jackets are a great way to give you the illusion of some curves where there are none. You want to balance your bottom half with the top half so you look proportionate. Dressing too young. There is a very fine line between wearing something that makes you look like you're in your 20s instead of your 40s because you are petite. Make sure your aesthetic is “polished and put together.” No shopping in junior's and no shopping in the kids section. #never This lends itself to the saying: Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Case in point: When you are smaller size, you may think you can wear younger style trends, for instance, cut-off jean shorts. HOWEVER, at a certain age, you need to have a 7 or 8-inch inseam, with no cheeks hanging out. If that is your jam, you must have a sophisticated look to go along with it: Add a summer sweater, chunky jewelry, maybe a kimono (to cover your butt). And then continue to add your grown-up accessories, like a stellar handbag and shoes. That is Holly-approved petite style. WHERE TO BUY STYLISH PETITE CLOTHING: As always, go to Holly's Pinterest board to see all of the styles and brands mentioned in this episode: https://www.pinterest.com/hollykatzstyling/top-petite-size-clothing-picks/ The key to fashion success is to try on your clothing before you buy it! Many stores and brands carry smaller sizing or petite options: Anthropologie: https://www.anthropologie.com/petite-clothes Banana Republic: https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=1178236&nav=meganav%3AWomen%3Amore%20sizes%3APetites Lovers and Friends: https://www.loversandfriends.us/?navsrc=main Moda Operandi: https://www.modaoperandi.com/ Etro: https://www.etro.com/us-en/women/ Edited Pieces: https://editedpieces.com/ Aritzia: https://www.aritzia.com/us/en/home Chiara Boni, Le Petite Robe: https://us.chiaraboni.com/ Petite Studio NYC: https://www.petitestudionyc.com/ Levi's: https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/ ASOS: https://www.asos.com/us/women/petite/cat/?cid=4177 YSL: https://www.ysl.com/en-us/shop-women/ready-to-wear/fall-23-looks KEY TAKEAWAY: Just because you wear a small size does not mean you can stay stuck in a style rut becuase you have been the same size forever. In fact, you may have to work harder to try new things and find items that fit you well so you can elevate your style. Buying off the rack is a privilege if you can wear a straight size. Just know that MOST people in the world, petite or not, have to make the clothes work for them by using a great alterations person on the regular. But YOU CAN DOOOO IT!

A few years ago, faces were looking full (from all the filler?); these days, the rich and famous look sculpted, “snatched,” and downright gaunt. It could be the popularity of Ozempic (a diabetes medicine that's also prescribed for weight loss) and more people getting buccal-fat removal, but it's also proof that cosmetic injectables follow trend cycles—just like makeup, hair, and clothes. Let's discuss! Plus: party gossip from Jess's Moda Operandi launch; the amazing front-row makeup looks (Doja Cat!) at Haute Couture Week in Paris; a helpful hair-mask tip; the rise of skincare machines; a listener's super-hydrating shampoo; and two juicy lip balms we love.Sponsor links & discount codes: shopmy.us/collections/31511Episode recaps with links: fatmascara.com/blogProducts mentioned on Ep. 475: shopmy.us/collections/114759Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

Laura Roso Vidrequin is the Founder of the kidswear re-sale platform Kids O'Clock, which aims to introduce parents, and businesses, to the circular economy.Over the years, Laura has put on many different hats, working as a buyer, merchandiser and in communications, at the likes of Balmain, Net-A-Porter, Condé Nast, and most recently Harvey Nichols. Each new position helped her develop new skills, from learning to trust her instincts at Moda Operandi, to becoming a spreadsheet whizz at Ralph Lauren. In 2019 she decided to take her collective experience and launch Kids O'Clock.As the mother of a toddler, Laura had grown weary of sorting through the sheer volume of clothing that she had to buy and discard through her child's growth phases, so she decided to launch a business that builds on the age-old tradition of passing on children's clothing between siblings, cousins, and friends – but bringing it into the digital age.Over the last few years Laura has built a strong, international community of parents and with an emphasis on product quality and strong branding, has grown the business in the UK and Paris. Speaking with news and features writer Camilla Rydzek on this episode of the In Conversation podcast, Laura explains the benefits of partnering with businesses such as Harvey Nichols, what the business' most popular products are and her future dreams.Get breaking news as it happens and be the first to know when our podcasts go live by following: INSTAGRAM *** LINKEDIN *** TWITTER *** FACEBOOKGet breaking news, big name interviews & insights delivered to your inbox daily HERE

We are fashion lovers here at Invisible Thread but unfortunately fashion is a major contributor to waste, pollution, and the overall well being of our planet.

Sadly, these scary statistics are just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did we get to discuss fashion's impact on our beautiful planet but also ways in which we can improve our shopping and styling habits to be more ethically and sustainabilty conscious with our guest Sonia Kessler. Sonia is a stylist at Moda Operandi who styles within the framework of sustainability. She offers tips and tricks on how to make our closet as sustainable as possible and chats about some of her favorite brands. Sustainability is something that the fashion community needs to take seriously, not only this month because it is Earth Day on the 22, but year round. This week we want to give you a stying challenge! Dm us a photo of how you can style 3 different outfits using your favorite item from your closet!

Luxury fashion resale site Dora Maar launched in 2019. It was good timing, considering how resale has taken off since the start of the pandemic. “In 2020, we found our footing. And in 2021, we really blew it out,” said Lauren Wilson, founder and CEO of Dora Maar, on the latest Glossy Podcast. “Year over year, we grew 570%.” Dora Maar's differentiator among resale companies is that it spotlights its sellers on its site and marketing channels, labeling them as “Muses” and treating them as influencers. It also attributes each product it sells to one of their closets. Wilson pointed to her previous job experience as the inspiration for the business model. “While working at Moda [Operandi] and, prior to that, at Christie's, we were always digging behind the story of the designer or the women who wore it or the people who owned it,” she said. “And I thought, ‘Why doesn't this exist in secondhand?'” “This is a new way of retail,” she added. Moving forward, along with bringing more Muses and also brand partners into the fold, Wilson plans to elevate Dora Maar's automation and personalization capabilities. She'll also continue to expand its product offerings to new categories – Dora Maar's already introduced home and beauty categories since its launch. “2022 is really about scaling up, Wilson said.
Beauty expert and entrepreneur, Jessica Richards, is the powerhouse behind Brooklyn's premier beauty destination, SHEN Beauty. After graduating from FIT, Richards worked as a stylist for VOGUE and Moda Operandi before transitioning to her passion project - connecting consumers to products that fuel beauty. Richards saw the unique opportunity in the clean beauty space, as the store would be the first of its kind in the metropolitan area that offered a quintessentially cool, curated range of effective, niche and luxury beauty products. SHEN Beauty opened its doors in 2010 in Cobble Hill. “When I first opened the doors to SHEN Beauty, I wanted to bring beauty to Brooklyn, or rather create Brooklyn beauty from what I understood about the area and my neighbors, and what they wanted and what inspired them.” Considered a pioneer in the evolution of beauty retail, Jessica's keen sense of curation is the secret to how she has successfully launched over 70 brands at SHEN Beauty, including ILIA, Kosås, Lanolips, Haoma, Pai Skincare, Ellis Brooklyn, Vintner's Daughter, Aurelia and May Lindstrom. Richards' passion is connecting consumers to products that fuel beauty – both inside and out. Prior to opening SHEN Beauty, Jessica has had a seasoned career cultivating beauty and wellness brands to their fullest potential. From the early stages of her career at Lucky Magazine working hand in hand with Eva Chen as the magazine's brand curator to then becoming the Senior Beauty Buyer starting Free People Beauty, Jessica has always had a keen eye for bringing unique wellness brands to the forefront. Thanks to her success with SHEN Beauty, Jessica continues to serve as a consultant for wellness brands across the globe. Additionally, Jessica has spoken at several national panels such as the Indie Beauty Expo, Founder Made, and CEW. Due to the buzz surrounding SHEN Beauty, Richards was hand selected by goop founder Gwenyth Paltorow to grow their wellness division. The category is booming and often mentioned as having the potential for becoming the next trillion dollar industry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/skincareanarchy/support

If you're longing to discover a beautifully curated selection of fashion by designers and artisans who are located in out-of-reach places, then Cult Mia is your destination. How we feel and react when we discover something new to us can be extremely powerful. The feeling of surprise, anticipation, novelty and newness trigger the release of dopamine. Which intern makes us want to go exploring in search of a reward. So, it's no wonder that discovery is a big topic for the fashion industry. It's what keeps us coming back to search for new editorial content, or the latest drops from our favourite brands. And it means big business for online retail. But, what if discovery wasn't just about capitalising on that dopamine rush, and discovery actually became the key to unlocking a decent living as a creative for a female entrepreneur or unknown designer in a far-to-reach location? It puts a different perspective on why discovery is such a big part of Cult Mia. Nina came up with the idea for Cult Mia during her time at luxury trunkshow and designer pre-order business Moda Operandi. Competing against more than 100 businesses, Nina later applied to London Business School's accelerator programme, Launchpad, and won with her idea for Cult Mia. In 2019, Cult Mia's first year, they onboarded over 70 designers from 25 different countries, including Georgia, Nigeria and Ukraine.Following on from the launchpad programme, Cult Mia joined London Business School's Incubator programme and received more than £200,000 of resources and office space for the first year of business. Cult Mia has recently raised its pre-seed investment, backed by strategic investors and family offices.What intrigues us about Cult Mia, is how the brand's core values; sustainability, empowerment of women, inclusivity, and lifting local communities, drive Cult Mia and their partner businesses forward. All too often we see brands being ‘inspired by' other cultures, platforms selling ‘authentic' clothing without acknowledging they are ‘taking' rather than celebrating, honouring and creating rightful remuneration for the clothing. Cult Mia is here to make that a thing of the past. When we consider Nina's family background - her grandparents moved from Spain, Poland and the Netherlands to Mexico, where her parents were born and raised - and her international education, across Switzerland, USA, and the UK, it's not difficult to understand why she has such an international viewpoint on life. Nina is the daughter of parents who both achieved great things. Her is father a successful businessman and her mother was one of the first women in Mexico to complete a computer science degree before moving on to set up the computer systems for some of the biggest banks in Latin America. Though her early career Nina spent time as part of The United Nations Women and Trade team supporting female entrepreneurs in underdeveloped countries by growing their micro-enterprises and connecting them to an international market. She also worked at Goldman Sachs in Geneva, covering Latin America.In this podcast, Jodi Muter-Hamilton finds out all about Nina, her vision for Cult Mia, and the biggest challenges and opportunities ahead for her business, female entrepreneurs and designers operating in a global economy. https://cultmia.comwww.otherday.co.uk

Today we meet Laura Roso Vidrequin, a former buyer for Net a Porter and Moda Operandi who launched Kids'Oclock, an online platform focused on recycling clothing for babies from birth up to 10 years old. Between the ages of 0-3 years, kids get through around 8-10 sizes. This means that approximately 90% of their wardrobe is rarely used, sometimes untouched. When we consider the huge waste problem that exists in fashion, it would be ridiculous to ignore childrenswear as a contributing factor. Tune in to dive with us into the very promising world of second-hand clothing and the fashion industry's shift into a more circular economy.

EP84: “In the traditional fashion industry, there's about 30-40% over production on average every season – if you can find a way to tackle that, you're tackling a big part of the problem.” Did you know that the fashion industry emits more carbon than the airlines and maritime industries combined? The effect of fast fashion on the environment is an issue that has been highlighted more frequently in the press in recent years but is enough being done? Today my guest is Aslaug Magnusdottir, an Icelandic fashion entrepreneur responsible for the launch of luxury women's fashion e-commerce site Moda Operandi, customisable women's fashion store Tinker Tailor and sustainable fashion brand Katla. Sustainable fashion has shaped Áslaug's career but through her American-based, Icelandic-focused brand, Katla, she has created a company centred around on-demand manufacturing to produce clothes that are kind to the environment, people and animals. Katla clothing also has a unique tracking number so purchasers can learn about the history of the garment, for example who made the item and where the fabric came from, as well as a free-return shipping so unwanted items can be returned for recycling. We also speak about: The future of fashion and how, in collaboration with other industries, it can be a force for good. The effect of raw fashion materials on our health and the need for better labelling.The responsibility of brands and consumers to clean up the fashion supply chain.Áslaug's partnership with Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas to launch Six Senses Össurá Valley, a sustainable hotel in Iceland.

Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 2020 Kate Bellm. Sarah Dulay. Kategorie Coffee Table Book »Amor« zeigt eine Ansammlung der schönsten Momentaufnahmen, die Kate Bellm auf ihren Reisen in den vergangenen zehn Jahre gemacht hat. Freunde und Geliebte, die träumen, küssen und skateboarden. Ihre unverfälschten und atmosphärischen Bilder entführen den Betrachter in ein jenseitiges, psychedelisch-anmutendes Paradies – mit außergewöhnlich farbenprächtigen Landschaften, bizarren Kakteen, dunstigen Ausblicken, flirrenden Palmen und kolossalen Gesteinsformationen. Ihre unbändig schönen Akte bilden berauschende Erzählungen, die eine romantische und unkonventionelle Atmosphäre verströmen. Wie ein junger weiblicher Helmut Newton porträtiert Bellm Weiblichkeit mit Faszination und verbindet Eleganz, Sexualität und weibliches Empowerment. In Freunden und Geliebten findet Bellm ihre Models und Musen – das erlaubt ihr das Arbeiten mit Spontaneität und Leichtigkeit und bringt den Charme jugendlicher Freiheit zum Ausdruck. Jede der Aufnahmen nimmt uns mit auf ein weiteres sonnendurchflutetes Abenteuer. KATE BELLM (*1987, London) ist eine Fotografin, die zwischen Berlin und dem abgelegenen Deià, Mallorca, pendelt, wo sie in einem selbst errichteten Atelier zwischen dem Meer und den Bergen arbeitet.

Today’s episode is with Indré Rockeffeller who is the co-founder of Paravel, an industry-leading sustainable travel lifestyle brand. Before launching Paravel, Indré had a very interesting career - she started out being Anna Wintour’s first-ever assistant at Vogue and then went on to work at several impressive companies like Moda Operandi and Delopzo. On this episode we get into Indré’s love of ballet at an early age and how it led her to a career in the fashion industry, how one trip entirely changed her perspective which led her to make sustainability the #1 priority for her brand, how she pivoted during Covid-19 amid the travel bans, why an MBA is not necessary to launch a successful business, how identifying her mission changed her as a leader, why a narrow scope is liberating, and lastly we get into why the key to success is simply the willingness to figure things out as you go.

A House & Garden 100 and LuxDeco 100 honouree and the Elle Decoration British Interior Designer of the Year for 2019, Fran began her design career at Soho House.

After a decade of working in the fashion industry, Ganesh Srivats decided he needed something more. The fashion industry wasn't evolving at the pace he wanted, so he made the decision to join a company he felt was: Tesla. But after only three years, an opportunity arose in fashion that he couldn't resist. Now serving as the CEO of Moda Operandi, Srivats is using his passion for technology to make waves in the retail and fashion industries. By using a combination of consumer data–driven algorithms and stylist-curated collections, the fashion e-commerce platform gives consumers a unique selection that includes items directly from the runway. In this week's episode of The Glossy Podcast, Hilary Milnes sits down with Srivats to discuss the intersection of tech and fashion, the model of giving consumers direct access to runway collections, and the way to serve as a partner for designers.

There are some women that just stand out from the crowd and attract your attention like a big magnet. That was Beth Nicholson Crago when I first met her at an event.I approached Beth and shamelessly asked: "What's your story?" Turns out, she is one of the two amazing ladies behind the best-kept-secret- Opelle, a luxury handbag brand that is designed and handcrafted in Toronto for women looking for something "functional and aesthetically refined".In spite of Beth's impressive career of working at Michael Kors, Derek Lam, Thakoon, while having Jason Wu, Moda Operandi on her client list, Beth confesses that fashion is not her first love. With an English degree from McGill specializing in acting and theatre, Beth was chasing after her dream of becoming an actress. After having her first taste of rejection, she soon realized that she didn't like acting enough to go through the hardships associated with that career. This realization has led her to the door of fashion. The rest is history.On the couch beside her son's play table, she opens up about the conversation she had with her parents during high school that sparked something in her, we exchange feelings about the Old and New Celine, and she shares the struggles she chose to go through and the ones she turned away from.
