Celebrity Stylist Wouri Vice has twenty years of fashion experience, creating memorable looks for memorable performers and creators like Andra Day, H.E.R., Alicia Keys, and Kerry Washington. The Harlem native is a New Yorker through and through. He became interested in fashion early on, and has sharp memories of his own signature look over the decades: down to the exact way he likes his clothing to fit. Inspiration came from a vast array of sources from the songs he was listening to, to his very own grandmother. Wouri tells stories through clothes, and we saw that firsthand on location, poolside, at our Andra Day cover shoot earlier this year. His clients have a deep appreciation for the way he approaches their style and the projects that he works on. Wouri brings diversity in vision to the table, his creativity a perfectly seasoned soup of a little of this and a little of that, that produces one-of-a-kind outfits that have a magical quality to them. On this podcast we talk New York street style, an early job at Giorgio Armani, and being inspired by and learning from style legends like Patti Wilson and Misa Hylton. We talk his eye for star quality, first seen in school friend Alicia Keys, his longtime love of and nose for fragrance, and the interesting story behind why he launched his candle line, by Vice. We discuss creativity under pressure in a fast-moving industry. We ask him what he'd like to see both more and less of, in fashion, and about his relationship with social media. Wouri also shares his sage advice for people interested in becoming stylists, and the accessories, clothes, and trends that are exciting him right now. And there's so much more. You'll hear about everything from how Wouri sees himself as a culmination of every relationship he's had with his clients, to his excellent #Obsixed list of favorite things. 1. by VICE Candles by Wouri Vice https://vicebyvice.com/ 2.

PATTI WILSON - The 3 Mind Theory of Consciousness by Lainie Sevante' Wulkan
Normally, I introduce you to one woman leaving her unique stain on the world without letting BS or burnout stop her. Well, surprise! Today, I’m bringing back seven previous Le vital corps Salon guests. We’re going to different perspectives on a topic that can help your 2019 more of a success. Join me in welcoming the women in this here virtual roundtable: Minda Harts, Erin Barra, Rachel Citron, Dara Kass, Kelly Lyndgaard, Kara Rota, and Patti Wilson. (You can find their cred, links, and news in the Resources section below). I want to acknowledge Minda Harts for inspiring and opening this episode with me. All of these amazing women span different industries and are at different stages of their careers. They’ve mentored, been mentored, and/or sponsored along the way. So, that, friends, is what we’re covering – mentorship and sponsorship. While we’re in that mid-holiday season lull, you might be percolating on what you want to stop doing, keep doing, or start doing. Perhaps you want to launch a business, grow in your current role, find a new job, or begin a new passion project. Whatever it is you’re considering, it’s your relationships with others that can help you achieve any of these things. Another surprise! There are not one, but two, episodes this week as part of this special, year-end Mentor Sponsor Mashup. It’s broken up into two parts because everyone had so much to share. When producer Craig and I sat down with the raw conversations, it clocked in at nearly 6 hours! We worked really hard to distill it down into something empowering, yet manageable. Here’s what to expect from each episode: Part 1 focuses on my guests’ own experiences around mentorship and sponsorship. We also discuss the differences between these two types of professional relationships. Part 2 goes deeper into mentorship and gets more strategic about how to create a successful mentor or sponsor relationship. We get more practical. We hear how some of the guests have navigated around or bounced back from some awkward moments. Whether you’re considering mentorship (as a mentor or mentee) or sponsorship in the immediate future or not, Minda, Erin, Rachel, Dara, Kelly, Kara, and Patti offer up a ton of collective insight and wisdom. All of which can be applied across other facets of business and life. After all, mentorship and sponsorship are about connection and support. Who couldn’t use a little more of that, right? This quilt of a conversation was a blast to stitch together. I deeply hope you enjoy Part 1 and Part 2 of The Mentor Sponsor Mashup! Don’t forget to hop on the newsletter right here. You’ll always be a reply away, and I’d love to here what you learned and what you plan on applying this year.

Andrea Lieberman knew that she was meant to work in fashion ever since she moved to Manhattan at age 13. "I realized at a very early age that I just found what I was meant to do," she tells Hillary Kerr in episode 21 of Second Life. Lieberman parlayed her passion for the fashion industry, an education from Parson's School of Design, and over 10 years experience as a celebrity stylist to eventually launch her own line A.L.C.
Welcome back to le salon, friends! This week, I want you to meet Sara Cantor Aye. One thing first, remember Patti Wilson from episode 31. I got to meet her IRL during the Professional Women Controllers 40th(!) conference. It was a beyond amazing experience - one in which I talked so much about self-care with all the type-A women there that my voice was a little shredded in this episode. Fear not! That didn’t stop me from geeking out about design and innovation with today’s really awesome guest Sara. Sara Cantor Aye co-founded Greater Good Studio with her husband George. Sara is a design maven, who holds a master’s in design planning from the Institute of Design at IIT and a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from Northwestern University. While in a green room together at SXSW with George, I learned about the fantastic work happening at Greater Good Studio. In this episode, Sara talks about how she transitioned from the corporate space to Greater Good Studio, how she uses human centered design (a really powerful process for solving problems) at the Greater Good Studio, and how she applies innovative and intentional concepts like equally shared parenting at home, too. This episode is Innovative (see that capital I) and empowering for all you frazzled femmes out there. Get out your smartphones and start listening already.

Fausto Puglisi is a designer who embraces life with both hands. Born in Sicily he is one of fashion’s big personalities. Everything he does he does with 100% passion and creative fire. From his visceral and vibrate fashion shows to his friendships- Fausto is a man who clams the center stage with an open heart and a desire to inspire the women he dresses and the fashion world at large. Fausto career started auspiciously…working with the famed stylist Patti Wilson in New York before he headed West and in LA he wooed big names like Jennifer Lopez and Whitney Houston with his sexy an ornate that had an Italian swagger that was undeniable. So it comes as no surprise that designers Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana spotted him and added his creations in their concept store in Milan and Stylist Anna Dello Russo became one of his biggest ambassadors and muses wearing his creations often in front of the street style photographers who documented her every move. Fausto’s clothing often references his southern Italian heritage, and there are religious references as well as some biker bravado usually built in – pieces that Madonna proved to be a big fan of. But when we spoke in his Italian showroom, where you can almost hear his Italian hand gestures and you do hear him pound the table where the mic was sitting when he was making a point. He had just presented one of his most reserved and reflective shows in the history of his signature brand…inspired Carolyn Bessette Kennedy –an icon of minimalistic dressing. The collection was mostly in shades of white and black with lace being the embellishment of choice. It marked a new direction for the designer…that was well received by the press. I’ll be honest what I love most about Fausto is that he is such a creative raw nerve. He always speaks from the heart, feels things deeply. Sometimes that can get him into trouble but I think for Fausto…that might just be part of the fun of it all.
One of the ways I support women is through this podcast. My job as host is to introduce you to women who are making an impact in the world without letting burnout slow them down. This episode’s guest is no exception. Back in April, the idea for this podcast came to me while I was plunked at the airport. I was wondering about what some of the most stressful jobs for women were. Bam! I immediately thought of air traffic controllers. Trying to track down a female professional controller was no easy feat. (Turns out, women are less than 20% of that workforce.) After several months of research, connecting, planning, and FAA approval - I am so excited to introduce you to this week’s guest, Patti Wilson! Patti Wilson has been in the air traffic control industry for the past 29 years. She’s the Operations Manager at Northern California Terminal Radar Approach Control, and is currently in her second term as President of Professional Women Controllers. If that wasn’t enough, she’s also very involved in nonprofit work with Zonta International. She’s also a pistol deeply committed to pulling up a seat for more women at the aviation table. Patti brings both a breadth and depth of experience and wisdom to our conversation. She paints a picture of what being an air traffic controller is like (the good, the stressful and the invisible to us non-controller folks). She also talks about the difference between communication at work versus everyday conversations (like the risk of talking to people in bullet points and commands outside of work). We also cover staying humble, handling stress, and giving/receiving feedback. You’re now cleared for listening takeoff. So, go ahead and switch to listening to this podcast on your favorite smartphone or listening device.
