Background:

Darnell Strom's professional path has wound its way from politics to Hollywood, a trajectory that started with several globe-trotting years working for former US President Bill Clinton. As partner and head of culture and leadership at entertainment agency UTA today Strom represents totemic cultural figures including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai and Edward Enninful, the outgoing editor-in-chief of British Vogue, as well as Gisele Bundchen and Michaela Cole. The breadth of his client roster reflects Strom's thesis that captivating, culturally impactful people can come from anywhere.

"My definition of talent isn't just an actor, a musician and an athlete," he says. "It's also a well-known politician or an incredible activist or a rock star CEO or someone in fashion, an artist ... I want to be able to represent all those people."

This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Strom to discuss what his career has taught him about the power of creativity and cultural convergence - and the opportunities this is creating for top talents.

Key Insights:

It was a conversation with the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh that inspired Strom to think differently about his work as an agent and seek out clients from all types of industries. He recalls Abloh telling him: "You should be representing people like me, people who are multi-hyphenate, people who understand that there are no walls between these worlds of culture."

Strom believes social media has irrevocably democratised the entertainment industry, making it possible for even an aspiring filmmaker from anywhere to create a blockbuster movie or a fashion trend that stems from a single post. "As you look at the marketplace, both in fashion and entertainment and media, everything is moving at such a fast rate. And if you're doing the job the same way you did 10 years ago, you're going to get left behind," he says.

Strom believes the changes we are seeing is just the start of a bigger journey. "I think the future of culture is convergence, which we're seeing now. But I think it's just the beginning of it. I think the next 10 years are going to be fascinating," says Strom.

Donning a turquoise apron dotted with red cherries, 34-year-old Huda Kattan examines the pink, retro kitchen surrounding her. To her right, there's a whole wall of shelves crammed with fake flour and sugar boxes emblazoned with her name. Kattan has styled the props and set as the perfect backdrop for Instagram-worthy photos to celebrate her latest cosmetic product, a loose finishing powder called Easy Bake. At the launch event, Kattan refers to her fans as "cake faces" - since they wear layers of makeup. Retailing for $34, the new powder is the latest of Huda Beauty's more than 140 products, from eyeshadow pallets to lip gloss, that together bring in at least $200 million in annual revenue.

"A lot of people don't always know how successful our brand is and we don't ever talk about it. But it's exciting to see the brand resonate so well with people," Kattan recently told Forbes after flying into New York for the launch from her home base in Dubai. "Nowadays, you're only limited by your dreams. We think big and we dream big."

Part of that dream came true late last year when Kattan and her two cofounder sisters Alya and Mona, both of whom own smaller stakes and help her run the company, sold a small stake in Huda Beauty to strategy investor TSG Consumer Partners. (TSG is known for making early investments in beauty companies and building them into global brands ; it was an investor in IT Cosmetics and Smashbox). Forbes estimates that Kattan, who still owns the majority, is worth $550 million, based largely on our valuation of her stake in the company. While Kattan won't comment on the record about the deal, she and her sisters did set aside $10 million of the proceeds to create the HB Angels, an early stage investment fund for entrepreneurs, particularly women founders, starting companies in a range of industries.

The U.S.-born middle daughter of Iraqi immigrants who settled in Oklahoma, Kattan grew up in a small, mostly white and Baptist town. Struggling with self-confidence due to bullying about her ethnicity, she used to tell her young classmates that her name was Heidi. Comforted by cosmetics, she started wearing heavy makeup at age 12. "I always felt like a misfit. Even now, I still struggle with this a little bit. And I think that's what probably motivates me so much," Kattan says. "You internalize. Kids used to tell me I was weird all the time. When I got older, I wanted to embrace my name and I put it on everything. And I also wanted to embrace being weird."

After majoring in business at the University of Michigan Dearborn, she moved to Dubai for a finance job at consulting firm Robert Half's Middle East headquarters. She settled there with her husband and gave birth to a daughter. It didn't take long before she was dissatisfied with the finance gig and quit to become a makeup artist. She briefly trained in Los Angeles but struggled to get clients back in Dubai and worked mostly for free. In 2010, Kattan started a beauty blog. It took off as fans became taken with Kattan's how-to videos. As her fame rose, she realized she had a knack for understanding what products work best.When she couldn't find premium false eyelashes that worked well, she decided to start making them herself. Kattan borrowed $6,000 from her sister Alya and spent another $10,000 from her savings for the packaging.

She didn't have enough money to do the manufacturing, so Kattan's distributors paid for it and took a cut of sales. In 2013, Kattan launched her own line of synthetic and faux mink lashes, made in Indonesia. She sold out on her first day and lucked out when Kim Kardashian became a vocal, early fan. Retail sales hit $1.5 million that first year and jumped to $10 million the next. Soon she was making all sorts of cosmetics and peddling them on her website - which is now the most viewed beauty blog on the Internet - as well as on Instagram, where she has close to 26 million followers.

The TSG Consumer Partners investment was a turning point for Huda Beauty, which Kattan still affectionately calls "a baby brand." While much of Huda Beauty's sales come directly through the website, which gives the company a greater share of profit on each sale, it is also expanding its in-store presence. It's already the top-selling cosmetics brand at Sephora in the Middle East. But by the end of 2018, Huda Beauty will be in more than 900 stores across the U.S. including Sephora and J.C. Penny, as well as another 600 globally, up from just 200 overall at the start of the year. The company will also open its first U.S. office, either in San Francisco or Los Angeles, by year's end. Revenue for 2018 is expected to be roughly $300 million.

One of the planet's most in-demand influencers, Kattan, who is CEO, has still bigger ambitions. She says she wants to build Huda Beauty into a conglomerate able to compete with the likes of L'Oreal, Estee Lauder and Coty. "We have been contacted by every big conglomerate [for acquisitions]. It just didn't feel right. There's so much to do for this brand. Why can't we be the next Estee Lauder of our time?" Kattan says. "Why can't there be the opportunity to build something? And why can't we at least strive to start building that?" Her first step in building her bigger empire is to launch a perfume brand, which will be sold through a separate standalone company, later this year.

"We're working our butts off and the team is working their butts off, but I feel like it's bigger than just even makeup," Kattan says. "It's really hopefully to prove to the world that a little person can make it."

Conventional wisdom might say to let your outfit do the talking, but if the growing phenomenon of fashion podcasting is anything to go by, that's only the start of the conversation. Whether investigating overlooked style cultures around the world, the day-to-day grind of working in the industry, or the urgency of addressing systemic problems from sustainability to racial inequality, fashion podcasters have quickly proven themselves to be among the most agenda-setting voices in industry media today.

That podcasts should prove to be such a compelling platform to explore fashion might initially sound counterintuitive. How could the medium of sound capture the tactile pleasure of a coat lining or the satisfying swish of a perfectly cut skirt or gown? The answer is, of course, by not attempting to re-create the experience of clothes at all. Instead, the best style podcasts communicate why clothes matter-whether that's the cultural history that informs them, the machinations of the broader industry that produces them, or the simple (or not-so-simple) appeal of the trends that make you want to buy more of them.

Here, find the best fashion podcasts to listen to now across six categories covering history, trends, careers, sustainability, the industry at large, and finally, a new wave of podcasts being created by the brands themselves.

Fashion History

Arguably the gold standard of fashion podcasting, Cassidy Zachary and April Calahan's series for iHeartRadio has built a loyal audience with its eclectic lineup of deep dives into fashion past and present. From interviews with specialists in traditional Arab dress and Black dandyism to examinations of the history of specific pieces, including sunglasses and jumpsuits, Dressed is the ideal entry point for those looking to expand their fashion knowledge, with Zachary and Calahan's overviews of key moments in the history of style balancing erudition and wit with an easy charm.

First established in 2015 by fashion scholar Jasmine Helm, textile conservator Dana Goodin, and fashion and history scholar Joy Davis, Unravel's M.O. is to unpack and challenge the hegemony of white Western designers within the canon of fashion history. Alongside their one-off interviews with fashion academics and incisive forays into onscreen costuming on everything from The Crown to The L Word, the trio's recurring series on Black, Indigenous, and queer designers have expanded their global and inclusive vision into a podcast that feels both purposeful and poignant.

Admittedly it's a newer addition to the stable of podcasts, and yes, we might be a little biased, but this list wouldn't be complete without Vogue's series exploring the fashion world's seismic shifts throughout the 2000s. Hosted by international editor at large and walking fashion encyclopedia Hamish Bowles, the series touches on everything from the stratospheric rise of Juicy Couture to the influence of Sex and the City to the blogger phenomenon. With its starry lineup of guests-where else would you find Gisele Bundchen herself musing on her extraordinary decade in front of the lens?-it's an unmissable window into a pivotal chapter in fashion history.

Style and Trends

Hosted by Rebecca Arnold, the highly respected fashion history lecturer at London's Courtauld Institute, and Beatrice Behlen, the fashion and decorative arts curator of the Museum of London, Bande à Part might at first glance seem forbiddingly highbrow. Quite the opposite: The charm and obvious rapport between its cohosts make it as accessible as podcasts come; indeed, it feels like you're sitting in on a conversation between friends. Whether they're diving into the annals of fashion history, devoting an episode to the fashion photographers whose worlds they would most like to inhabit, or discussing the new Savage x Fenty show, Arnold and Behlen wear their erudition lightly, but their knowledge and experience always shine through.

If you're looking for a podcast sitting right at the fashion zeitgeist, Corporate Lunch-hosted by GQ editors Noah Johnson, Rachel Tashjian, and Samuel Hine-is the one for you, with hot takes on everything from Christian Girl Autumn to their favorite Timothée Chalamet fits. A major part of Lunch 's appeal is its guests, who seem chosen for their ability to see beyond the myopia of the fashion industry; episodes have featured playwright Jeremy O. Harris, musician Phoebe Bridgers, and pro skater Alex Olson.

Created by Avery Trufelman as a miniseries within the hit public radio show 99% Invisible, Articles of Interest stands out both for the truly impressive level of research that underpins it, and the way in which it translates this information into self-contained narrative arcs that feel as gripping as any true crime series. The subjects for each episode might initially appear broad-knockoffs, Hawaiian shirts, childrenswear-but Trufelman has a knack for teasing out rich and fascinating stories packed with unexpected twists and turns.

Working in Fashion

Hosted by Vogue's market editor Naomi Elizée, So...What Do You Do Again? highlights the lives and journeys of women of color within the fashion industry with humor, warmth, and intimacy. Elizée brings a rare honesty and insight into the wide-ranging backstories of her guests, be they model Precious Lee or celebrity stylist Ade Samuel. While its mandate is to serve as a resource for young people of color looking to break into fashion, the candid conversations-many of which touch on the obstacles faced by women of color on their way to the top-should be required listening for anyone working in the industry at any level.

While some of the bigger fashion houses have launched podcasts featuring their head creatives, it's rare for a designer to take the initiative to start a podcast on their own. But Recho Omondi is not your average designer. Omondi's interviews with figures from the fashion world-Diet Prada, Heron Preston, and Bethann Hardison among them-are notable for her willingness to broach topics that other podcasters might shy away from, specifically the industry's reluctance to talk openly about its complicity in environmental destruction and systemic racism. Her probing, inquisitive nature makes her a brilliant interviewer-even if, with fans of her label including Issa Rae and Solange Knowles, she shouldn't be giving up the day job anytime soon.

A new podcast launched by London-based fashion community platform ClickerMe, The Fashion Slashie-hosted by fashion journalist Lara Johnson-Wheeler-looks at the ever-evolving phenomenon of the "slashie," the freelancer jack-of-all-trades creatives that increasingly dominate the fashion landscape. With the likes of artist, publisher, art director, and stylist Theo White, who has collaborated with Mowalola and styled for the Cut and Dazed, and the creative director and entrepreneur Tayler Prince-Fraser on board as guests, it's a compelling window into a side of the industry that often gets overlooked.

Industry Insights

With new episodes dropping biweekly, The Business of Fashion Podcast is known as one of the most reliable sources for up-to-date fashion news and industry goings-on. Hosted by the publication's founder and CEO, Imran Amed, its standout quality is its willingness to tackle the big issues facing the industry today-from retail to style culture to global politics-with an informed, clear-headed impartiality.

For a more on-the-ground take on the industry today, Fashion: No Filter ticks all the boxes. Its hosts are influencer Camille Charrière and fashion journalist Monica Ainley, and their shared interest in the conversation between the fashion industry and pop culture makes for compelling listening at a time when the two have never been more intertwined. Whether interviewing Bryanboy or Instagram's fashion guru Eva Chen, the pair's fluency in the worlds of social media, street style, and sustainability offers a relatable take on the machinations of the fashion industry that has earned them a loyal following.

Since writing a viral Facebook post about being dropped by her modeling agency for being "too big" in 2015, British model Charli Howard has become one of the U.K.'s most prominent voices advocating for a more inclusive set of body standards. And with her BBC Sounds podcast Fashion Fix, Howard broadened the conversation further, exploring how those working within it can make efforts to address some of the biggest issues it faces, from diversity to sustainability to adaptivity. Earlier this year, model Naomi Shimada took the reins, shifting the focus to include insiders' experiences of the beauty industry as well, and has proven a worthy successor, interviewing the likes of Zandra Rhodes and Sinéad Burke.

Sustainability Matters

There are few issues the fashion industry needs to address as urgently as the climate crisis, a fact that Clare Press, Vogue Australia's first sustainability editor, has been all too aware of over her two decades working in media. Launched in 2017, on the cusp of sustainability entering the mainstream fashion discourse, Press's The Wardrobe Crisis podcast is a valuable resource for those looking to understand the horrifying impact of the apparel industry on the environment. More importantly, perhaps, its focus lies equally on the innovators finding solutions to move fashion forward by way of a circular economy and ethical production. Never judgmental or patronizing, Press's approach to environmental advocacy within fashion is truly admirable-and one we can all learn from.

For vintage obsessives, Bay Garnett will need little introduction. The influential former fashion editor at British Vogue made her start with cult favorite magazine Cheap Date in the 1990s, featuring fashion shoots memorably styled with thrift store finds, while a vintage banana print tee she styled Kate Moss in for her first Vogue shoot in 2003 was borrowed by Phoebe Philo afterwards, only to show up on the Chloé runway the following year and become a high street phenomenon. Garnett's new podcast sees her invite a starry lineup of guests-Rachel Weisz, Sienna Miller, and Chloë Sevigny have all made appearances-to go through some of their most beloved pieces from across the years, with Garnett's warmth and humor making it more than obvious why she's one of the most beloved figures in fashion. Come for the celebrities, stay for the stellar thrifting tips.

Hosted by the Irish DJ and broadcaster Tara Stewart, Dirty Laundry came to be after Stewart watched the documentary The True Cost and began questioning the impact of the clothes from fast fashion brands she was often paid to wear at DJ gigs. Since then, Stewart has made it her mission to educate both herself and her listeners on the real-world impact of the clothes we wear, challenging brands to address the climate crisis effectively, and creating helpful solutions for consumers to shop and dress more responsibly in our day-to-day lives. Given her radio experience, it's no experience that Stewart is a natural host: as inquisitive and curious as she is firm in her convictions.

Brand Chatter

As fashion podcasts have undergone a modest boom over the past few years, it didn't take long for brands to get in on the action too. One of the most compelling is Chanel Connects, one of a host of podcasts the French house has invested in, which brings together some of the world's foremost cultural figures (albeit most from within Chanel's orbit) for conversations about the future of art, film, fashion, music, and more. The starry but eclectic lineup includes the likes of Keira Knightley, Tilda Swinton, Edward Enninful, Pharrell Williams, and Arthur Jafa, with the conversations around just what our museums, galleries, and stages might look like as the world reopens proving to be particularly compelling.

While Gucci's podcast also revolves mostly around conversations between creatives, its approach is more itinerant, focusing on the sprawling array of projects patronized by the house, from its Chime Zine, to its collaborations with Dapper Dan, to its recent "brand hacking" with Balenciaga. (For that, a conversation between Alessandro Michele and Demna Gvasalia proved particularly intriguing.) A recent highlight was a deep dive into the brand's Vault project that invited a coterie of young designers to reimagine pieces from the Gucci archive, with a guest appearance from Vogue 's archive editor Laird Borrelli-Persson. It's a podcast with all the shapeshifting playfulness of Michele's distinctive vision for the house.

Under Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior's runway shows have become one of fashion's most visible forums for feminist messaging, whether via her Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie-quoting "We Should All Be Feminists" tee or the various female artists Chiuri has invited to craft theatrical sets that feel more like installations, from Judy Chicago to Anna Paparatti. So it's no surprise that Dior's podcast has a particular emphasis on the role of women in the creative sphere, from its first season on feminist art to its most recent, more politically charged season featuring friends of the house including actor Felicity Jones, choreographer Sharon Eyal, and poet and activist Robin Morgan. Billed as an invitation to "step inside the contemporary Dior mind," it certainly lives up to its initial impression as the most cerebral offering from the big fashion houses in the podcasting sphere.

JT: I'm proud to say that women have always led Blackbough Swim, and women make up a vital majority of our current team. In fact, our workforce is 97% women. We believe that women's leadership and creativity are essential in modern business, so we're always encouraging our female team members to speak up and share their ideas. I also make sure to invest in my team members through benefits like health insurance and mental health support, flexible work arrangements, and upskilling opportunities.

Building a safe and inclusive space for women through our business is essential to me, and that includes our professional interactions with other partners. Blackbough also supports several women-centered charities, including our long-time partner Tahanan Sta. Luisa (an organization that cares for homeless, orphaned, or abandoned female youth) and our weaving community in the Ilocos Sur province. We also work with women-led businesses like Frasier Sterling and talents like Barbara Kristoffersen.

Our goal with Blackbough is to build a brand that's not only beloved for its products but also for its position as a voice for women all over the world to dream big, take up space, do great things, and lead.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
JT: The Tona Top and Maui Bottoms are my forever faves. The classic twist top and sporty-cheeky bottoms were some of our first designs back in 2017, right when Blackbough started. These styles instantly became a hit, and I absolutely swear by them! They're what I'd quickly grab from my closet every time I want a no-frills bikini set. I especially love this combo in unique prints that evoke positive emotions just by looking at it. I'm currently obsessed with the Tona and Maui in some of our newest designs, like Sour Slush, a psychedelic print we commissioned from a female artist, and Wild Petunia and Secret Garden, which are dainty, nature-inspired prints.
Beginning March 1, 2022, Blackbough Swim will engage in a year-long partnership with Tahanan Sta. Luisa, an organization that cares for homeless, orphaned, and abandoned female youth in the Philippines. From March 1-8, 2022, they will be donating $1 for every piece purchased from their Good Stuff collection. Blackbough Swim will be sending care packages to assist with their daily operations throughout the year. These packages will contain food, vitamins, hygiene products, COVID-19 essentials, and recreational materials like badminton equipment.
Brilliant Earth Co-Founder & CEO Beth Gerstein

When Brilliant Earth co-founder Beth Gerstein got engaged, she and her fiancé struggled to find engagement rings that were ethically sourced and made, so she launched her own ethically sourced fine jewelry business.
What makes you feel empowered?
BETH GERSTEIN: Acting with intention through decision making; one of our core brand pillars is bias toward action: when you see an opportunity, seize the moment and go for it. To foster opportunity and growth, it is important to set a company culture around ownership and creating a safe environment where others are not afraid to fail. As a mission-driven brand, when I see Brilliant Earth making an impact, I feel empowered to continue in our efforts to drive change. On a personal level, being heard and having the freedom to learn from my failures has been integral to my growth and is empowering.
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
BG: It is important to me that my company is driven by strong female leaders where we can learn and grow from each other. Whether it's hiring or promoting women for leadership positions or cultivating a majority female Board of Directors, we've worked hard to have an inspiring environment that encourages other females to excel. Fostering female talent by identifying potential early on, coaching and providing growth opportunities are key to paving the way for future senior female leaders.

We also demonstrate this is a priority for our company by promoting female empowerment in our non-profit efforts-including our Moyo gems initiative which supports female gemstone miners in Tanzania.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
BG: Our newest collection and one I'm most excited about is our The Wildflower Collection which features engagement rings, wedding bands and fine jewelry with an expansive offering of hand-selected gemstones. This collection comes at the perfect time to usher in the biggest wedding season, it's filled with vibrant pops of color and unique design intricacies. We know our customers will love this fresh take and latest addition to our nature-inspired jewelry assortment.

BYCHARI Founder Chari Cuthbert

Established in 2012, BYCHARI is a reflection of designer Chari Cuthbert's approach to life and style. Chari recognized her rare approach to fashion, she had pared down her closet to simple, high quality investment pieces that she made her own with layered fine jewelry. Often passed down from women in her family or found on her travels, each piece told a story and became a way to redefine minimal style.
What makes you feel empowered?
CHARI CUTHBERT: The very fact that I built BYCHARI from the ground up with my own two hands still amazes me to this day. From pushing myself to enter a male-dominated industry with confidence to single-handedly learning about every aspect of production, I am empowered by my own story and hope to inspire others in the same way. I am grateful to have an amazing team of women behind me and could not be where I am today without them.
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
CC: I strive to support women of all backgrounds, both in my personal life and through BYCHARI. Gender wage inequality is unfortunately still present and prevalent in 2022; Hiring an all-female team has not only equalized the playing field but has empowered us all to work together and grow BYCHARI beyond our wildest dreams.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
CC: While I love to change up my Jewelry every day, my BYCHARI Diamond Initial Necklace is my favorite piece at the moment. Every day, I wear the initials of somebody very special to me. No matter how far away they may be, I still have a piece of them with me wherever I go.

CAMILLA Founder Camilla Franks

Camilla Franks, the mastermind behind Aussie luxury lifestyle brand CAMILLA, is one of Australia's leading fashion designers and is celebrated globally for her artistic, innovative and intricate designs that weave in stories from her travels abroad and imaginative escapism. Since launching her eponymous label in 2004, the brand has since grown into a global print house with a unique aesthetic that's instantly recognizable and with storytelling at heart of its designs.
What makes you feel empowered?
CAMILLA FRANKS: Taking risks! There's magic in trusting your intuition, in unbridled creativity galloping free on the plains of opportunity. No matter how ridiculous my ideas first seem, they're grounded in key values and instinct, and fearlessly following them down unfamiliar paths usually leads to success. That is incredibly empowering! It's terrifying at times, but staying true to myself is incredibly empowering. I like getting uncomfortable to get comfortable.

In 18 years of concocting CAMILLA, I've never done things the expected way. I directed an opera for my first runway show celebrating women of all different ages, shapes, and sizes. I launched new boutiques in the US and Australia during a worldwide pandemic, and some

called me crazy, but with faith in the joyous power of print, launched new categories like wallpaper, surfboards, pet beds, and crockery.

Empowerment is found in hurling caution to the wind, in deep faith that the universe rewards bravery. Sucking the marrow out of life makes me feel empowered!
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
CF: I always wanted CAMILLA to be a symbol of love, joy, and inclusivity, for every person who wears us. Our vision for the brand stretches far beyond the walls of the design studio. Our dream is to drive change for future generations and create a brighter future for all.

I'm proud that we're now renowned not just for our products, but for our community. A human collective of all ages, genders, shapes, colors, abilities, lifestyles, faiths, and sexualities. Just wearing our prints, and the stories they celebrate, can make strangers friends, connected in instant recognition of the values they share.

I strive to use my voice and our platforms to fortify this community; our family - to share inspiring stories, to educate and encourage action in this world, and come together supportively. Even my boutique styling angels have their own Facebook accounts, to extend the connection they have with our customers in-store-many of whom gravitate to us in times of trauma, illness, insecurity, and loss. We are all warriors, stronger together!

CAMILLA has long-running charitable partnerships that tackle domestic violence, child marriage, breast cancer, cultural change, ethics, and sustainability across the globe, and we are conscious of learning to adapt as the world evolves.

In a noisy world, it's important to raise your voice only to lift people up.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
After an enchanted white winter spent in Wales, I'm SO ready for warmer days ahead spent marinating in the sun in crystal-embellished swimsuits and kaftans, and by night, I'm into printed silk party dresses, catsuits, jumpsuits, whimsical wovens...more is more, darling!

Our mother, Mother Nature, our planet needs to be nurtured. This is why our swimsuits are now made of 100% recycled ECONYL which is regenerated nylon, crafted from waste materials that would otherwise end up polluting our majestic planet.

My primal need to protect Mother Earth was born on the sands of Bondi Beach with the inception of CAMILLA. We dance to the rhythm of her beating heart, and our ode to her plays through our sustainable swimwear collection, and how we choose to live our lives with purpose.

Frasier launched her accessory line out of her apartment when she was just 20 years old. The accessible jewelry brand has only grown since 2011 and now counts celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid amongst its fans.
What makes you feel empowered?
FRASIER STERLING: I'm currently eight months pregnant with my first baby and running Frasier Sterling. Running my own business has always been so rewarding, however doing it while eight months pregnant has me feeling extra empowered at the moment!
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
FS: Frasier Sterling has a following that's made up of mostly Gen-Z females. That said, we are very active on social and find it extremely important to lead by example! Promoting kindness, self-love and confidence to our young audience is a key tenant of our messaging. We also actively support and encourage our followers to support various charities and nonprofits. This month for International Women's Day we are donating 10% of our sales to Girls Inc - an organization focused on mentor relationships, breaking the cycle of poverty and equipping young girls to become role models in their community.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
FS: I'm currently coveting my Shine On Custom Diamond Name Plate Necklace from our fine jewelry collection. It is the perfect nameplate for everyday wear. Mine says my baby's name on it, so it's extra special to me!
In celebration of International Women's Day, Frasier Sterling will donate 10% of all sales made on Tuesday, March 8.
HEYMAEVE Founder Alicia Sandve

Singapore-based, Alicia Sandve created jewelry and lifestyle brand HEYMAEVE to use the business as a platform to touch lives, empower women through its community, & give back to causes dear to Alicia's heart particularly non-profit organizations that work for sexual assault survivors like herself.
What makes you feel empowered?
ALICIA SANDVE: My voice. I grew up generally pretty timid and always afraid to speak my mind. However, many life experiences as an adult became huge learning lessons for me that caused a shift in how I've chosen to live my life. In 2019, I was sexually assaulted, and for the first time in my life, I knew that if I did not speak up for myself, no one would. That process led me to go up against a flawed legal system not necessarily designed to protect women in these situations, as well as a large investment bank that tried to intimidate me into "going away" because the perpetrator worked for them.

I sat in rooms first with the police, then with this investment bank's HR & legal counsel multiple times throughout this process advocating and fighting for myself. It was extremely painful & uncomfortable, especially having to share intimate details about what happened to me first to a male cop, then to a room full of people who really did not have my interest at heart, but the company's. What they wanted was for me to "disappear" and to "stop talking". I knew though my voice was all I had, so I pushed through the pain and continued to advocate and fight for myself. Even though the outcome of it all was not entirely favorable, I know that I stood up for myself every step of the way, and I gave a good fight.

Today, I continue to speak about what happened to me and hope that one day I will be able to hold the people involved who did not do the right thing, accountable. The fact that my voice still gives me that power today, makes me feel empowered. I am a mother to 2 beautiful little girls, Emma & Elizabeth, and I am proud to tell them this story one day. Hopefully, I have set a positive example for them to know that each and every one of us deserves to be heard, and if people don't hear you, make them.
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
AS:I started HEYMAEVE less than a year after everything happened as a way to heal from everything I had gone through from the sexual assault. I was really struggling to come back from it, to go back to a somewhat normal life where I wasn't doubtful or distrusting of everything and everyone around me. I knew though, that I needed to take back control of my life. I couldn't allow what happened to define me. That was when I decided that I was going to pick myself back up and turn this painful experience into one that I could use to help educate and empower other women around sexual assault. I also knew that the only way I would be able to contribute financially to these causes was if I was able to build a business that could support that.

To be able to help others is very healing, and also the very reason why giving back is a key value of the HEYMAEVE brand. We donate $1 from every order through our site to 1 of 3 nonprofit organizations of our customer's choice. The 3 nonprofits are women-focused, Educate A Girl, Empower Survivors, Build A Woman's Future. This is facilitated by i=change to ensure transparency for all donations. We also work with nonprofit Destiny Rescue, which carries out rescue missions all over the world to rescue children from human trafficking. More often than not, these children are trafficked for sex work. We also sponsor 2 young girls in Bali, Indonesia through Bali Children's Project where we pay for their education & expenses until they graduate high school.

HEYMAEVE is a jewelry lifestyle brand, but we are so much more than that. We are a brand with heart-a heart for people, for our customers, and a company that is willing to use our platform to be a voice for those who aren't heard. It is also very important to us that our customers genuinely feel appreciated and loved by us. Like it says on all our jewelry boxes our customers receive, "Just like this piece of jewelry, you are also beautifully made."
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
AS: My favorite piece of jewelry at the moment is definitely our Heiress Ring. It is beautiful, luxurious, yet affordable. This ring went viral on Instagram a few months back and has become our best-selling piece of jewelry from our entire line. The Heiress Ring is also a part of our #WESTANDWITHUKRAINE collection, where 20% of the proceeds from all styles in this collection will go to Global Empowerment Mission until March 12, to support humanitarian relief for the crisis in Ukraine. That makes it all the more special.

JMP The Label Co-Founder Juliette Porter

Siesta Key star Juliette Porter built her loyal following of over 780,000 fans on Instagram into her customer base when she launched JMP The Label in January 2021.
What makes you feel empowered?
JULIETTE PORTER: I feel empowered by building this brand from the ground up and watching it grow. Launching a brand can be really intimidating, but constantly working towards your goals and putting your heart into your business is a special feeling. For a while, I didn't have the confidence to take that leap until I met my partners. Surrounding yourself with knowledgeable people in an industry will give you the confidence to keep pushing forward. I think the number one inhibitor in starting businesses is not knowing where to begin but getting over that fear is so empowering.
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
JP: I always had a passion for swimwear and fashion, but creating products that have such positive feedback and allow women to feel positive in their own skin is something I never saw coming. Swimwear can be a difficult part of a person's wardrobe because it's vulnerable, so for customers to feel good in our bikinis and one-pieces means we're helping rid the sometimes-uncomfortable sentiments towards swimwear. I believe swimwear is more than just a beautiful design with a unique cut - you must also feel confident in what you're wearing to love a bathing suit. Our goal is to create pieces that allow women to channel that inner confidence and feel beautiful inside and out.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
JP: My favorite products are always pieces that haven't been released yet because I get so excited while designing and can't wait for others to see them. We're about to release a white crochet bikini with colorful beads sewn in. This piece was inspired by the upcoming festival season and my obsession with a lot of color.

Logan Hollowell, founder and designer of Logan Hollowell Jewelry, designs collections that encompass ancient wisdom, magic, and inspiration from the universe, always visualizing the spiritual impact and healing effect that a piece will have on its wearer.
What makes you feel empowered?
LOGAN HOLLOWELL: Feeling in control of my own destiny makes me feel empowered. Taking action towards achieving my goals and dreams - having a vision! Having a strong guidance system and being able to give and receive support when I need it. Having discipline and holding out for the things I desire the most. The ability to set boundaries for myself and others. I love to empower myself by listening to my inner voice - and taking good care of my physical well-being. Reading, remaining curious, and always learning as a student of life. Being able to support philanthropic efforts through my company empowers me - knowing that we can do what we love, have fun, create art, AND help others all at the same time!
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
LH: My goal is to touch hearts and souls through my mission, designs, and message. I love to support other women-owned companies; I realize that we are setting an example for each other and I truly believe that when we lift each other up, we grow! I strive to educate and inspire women on how to further love themselves and support one another through our marketing
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
LH: At the moment it is all about the emeralds. Queen emerald rings and the emerald Cuban link pieces. I truly feel like every empowered goddess needs an emerald in her repertoire. It is the stone of unconditional love and abundance. Think of green as growth. Like a lush green forest, full of life. Green is the color of the heart chakra energy center, and I couldn't think of a better stone to have in one's life to heal and attract more love and abundance. It was first discovered in ancient Egypt (full of magic) and Cleopatra's favorite stone...and we love her.

MONROW Co-Founders Michelle Wenke and Megan George

Michelle Wenke and Megan George met while getting their BFAs at Otis College of Art and Design, and after several years in the fashion industry, the two joined forces to launch MONROW.
What makes you feel empowered?
MICHELLE WENKE: People's ideas and personalities keep me inspired which ultimately makes me feel empowered.

MEGAN GEORGE: I feel empowered working with people, exchanging ideas and skills and working together to build something.
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
MW: Trying to make one step out of the day easier and make you feel good with what you wear.

MG: Hopefully MONROW makes women feel comfortable and confident and when we feel this way we are able to put our best self forward.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
MW: I am living in our new poplin shirts and super soft sweater sets.

MG: My favorite thing from MONROW right now is our Men's military jacket. I wear my husband's size medium pretty much every day. It's oversized and lightweight. It's the perfect trans-seasonal jacket. It's cool and casual and oh so classic MONROW.
To celebrate International Women's day, MONROW is donating 20% of the proceeds from the 'Women's Day Athletic Tee' to the Downtown Women's Center. What makes you feel empowered?
RESA Founder Suzanne Marchese
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
Suzanne Marchese started selling dresses online and working out of her Venice Beach apartment in 2015. RESA is now sold on sites like Revolve in addition to its e-commerce site.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
SUZANNE MARCHESE: What makes me feel empowered is helping others. I always try to offer any guidance or input especially if it's a career path I've experienced before. When I look back on my days starting in manufacturing and design, it would have helped me tremendously to have someone give me their advice. To have others benefit from my past mistakes is empowering knowing this can make a difference throughout another women's journey. This industry is not about competition, there is enough to go around for everyone to be successful. When women stick together anything is possible!

SM: I try and create pieces to make women feel confident and beautiful. My overall brand includes pieces that are effortless that you can throw on no matter what the occasion is. Whether it's running a quick errand or on a night out, I want women to feel comfortable and at their best all the time.

SM: Gosh, that is hard! I would say the Noelle Maxi is 100% my favorite dress, especially in our new knit version. The adjustable cut out feature is sexy and classy, complimenting every body type. It's a statement piece that can be dressed up for any event or dress down with flats. It's our best seller for a reason!
What makes you feel empowered?
Sanctuary Co-Founder & Chief Creative Director Debra Polanco
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
Debra Polanco and her husband launched Sanctuary in 1997 with the goal of creating a line that merges the laid-back style of California and effortless cool of New York for a label that provides versatile everyday clothing for its customers.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
DEBRA POLANCO: Working on and completing a project as a team and seeing the final result come together from an idea is so gratifying.

DP: We have a great team of predominantly women in the design room. I love to bring out the best in the team by inspiring them with examples. Sanctuary also supports organizations that empower women with #sanctuarygivesback initiatives.

DP: One of my favorite products right now is our rebel pants in either camo or solid. It's a great fun fashion cargo.
What makes you feel empowered?
SKATIE Co-Founders Mandi Glynn and Skatie Noyes
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
SKATIE co-founders Mandi Glynn and Skatie Noyes met in 2011 while studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. 5 years later, they launched SKATIE directly on Instagram and since then have been devoted to designing sustainable, ethically-made clothing.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
MANDI GLYNN & SKATIE NOYES: We feel most empowered by the community that has blossomed within our brand. We have an amazing team of hardworking women; lifting them up to help them achieve their goals within and outside the brand is what drives us. Our business wouldn't be possible without each and every one of them supporting us and lifting each other up. Outside our core team, a wonderful community of women who love our brand has grown on Instagram and TikTok. Seeing their reactions to trying our pieces on for the first time-their excitement and ease, feeling gorgeous in their own skin-is what gets us out of bed each morning.

MG&SN: Swimwear especially is a very personal item of clothing. We do our best to be inclusive of all body types and make pieces that women feel good in. We work in a business that inherently revolves around feeling good in your own skin, so seeing our customers get that feeling in the things that we make is our greatest achievement.
What makes you feel empowered?
MG&SN: For the both of us, our basics are our everyday staples. Each piece is meant to be worn together to make the most comfortable yet chic outfits. Hardly a day goes by that we don't reach for at least one of these pieces, whether it's to wear out or to the office.
How do you use your business to inspire women and to lift others?
Tania initially started The Daily Edited as a side hustle, a fashion blog and retail store, but it quickly grew into a major accessories brand. After initially studying law, Tania made the leap into the entrepreneur world and now oversees The Daily Edited full-time.

TANIA LIU: Knowledge and experience! In my view, empowerment is the bedrock of resilience, or perhaps resilience is the bedrock of empowerment? They are part of the same process. I reflect on my experiences-successes and failures alike-and I draw out an understanding to give me strength and wisdom for the future. Equally, I try to surround myself with people who are generous with their own insights; people who share their strengths with intention, and whose creativity, intellect, or wisdom is greater than mine. I never want to be the smartest person in the room.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
TL: In a myriad of ways, I have been carried by the strength, wisdom, and support of the women in my life, and TDE is no different. I can say without doubt or hesitation that TDE would not be where it is today without the dedication, energy, and groundswell from both our female-led team and our fabulous community.

TDE is now a business going through a journey of transformation. We have a renewed commitment to being our very best version socially, environmentally, and creatively, and as with every journey in life, the 'juice' is really in the experience of the evolution-more so than the end destination. I really want this notion to define us and who we are. I hope that by sharing our journey with honesty and transparency, we can inspire women to back themselves and take that leap of faith to become the best version of themselves, too.

TL: I'm loving the Cosmetic Case Set in Mango. It's from our new High Summer collection and for me it is a signpost of the start of our creative transformation-there's a new and exciting chapter ahead for TDE! Additionally, with so much happening in the world right now, this product also reminds me of a time when we could travel more freely to experience and immerse ourselves in different cultures. This is definitely something that I don't take for granted.
What makes you feel empowered?
The Range Founders Brittney and Mia Rothweiler
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
Sisters Brittney and Mia launched The Range in 2017 with the goal of introducing cool, elevated staples for women in need of stylish essentials. You can find The Range at Net-A-Porter, FWRD, Shopbop, and more.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
BRITTNEY AND MIA ROTHWEILER: Freedom makes us feel empowered. Freedom creates a life we've always dreamed of, to own our time and how we want to spend it - being able to work together and really taking our destiny into our own hands. We also feel empowered by a strong community and family around us. That can make us feel like we can take on anything with the right type of support behind us.

BR&MR: We want to create clothing that makes women feel powerful and sexy and comfortable in their own skin. When you put on a piece from The Range we want you to feel instantly put together and chic which will then translate to your mood and energy throughout the day.

BR&MR: We love dressing in sets, it makes life so much easier and also looks effortlessly cool. Where during COVID it was more casual sets, now we're dressing in more dressed-up sets and tonal outfits. We have pairings in our thermal, rib, terry, and satin fabrics that we live in.
What makes you feel empowered?
VELA Co-Founder Marwa Atik
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
Marwa Atik noticed a gap in the market for stylish, trendy scarves when she was 18, so she set out to design her own. With her sister and co-founder Tasneem Atik Sabri, they launched VELA as a way to elevate and modernize modest fashion.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
MARWA ATIK: Being a woman. As women, we have so many challenges that we face in running a business and in our daily lives. While at times these challenges can be hard, I remind myself that I am a woman and that I have inherited from the women before me the strength to be successful, powerful, and caring in my nature all at once. I am so proud of the business, VELA that I have built with my co-founder and sister, Tasneem Atik Sabri. I am proud that VELA is also a women-led team which means I can empower other women too!

MA: VELA not only sells hijabs and modest wear; we sell a message to all women and girls to be proud of who they are. Muslim women in the media are always seen as oppressed, but that is not the case. Hijab is a choice, and it is quite an empowering one. Every day I get the opportunity through VELA to support women on their journey in hijab. Every time I am out, I get stopped often by a girl, a college student, a mother, who say, "are you VELA!? You don't know how much you mean to me and how empowered your brand makes me feel". At the core of VELA's mission is that, to inspire women to be proud of who they are.

This year, I want to focus on my skincare. Right now I am absolutely loving the entire Fortuna skincare line. There is so much artistry in their products and they truly make such a difference for me.
What makes you feel empowered?
WAYF Founder Meredith Fisher
How do you use your business to inspire women and lift up others?
Meredith Fisher launched WAYF (which stands for Where Are You From) as a 10-piece collection in 2006. Since then, the brand has expanded to include WAYF Bridal and WAYF'98 and is sold at retailers like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Shopbop, and Revolve.
What is a favorite product of yours at the moment and why?
MEREDITH FISHER: It's empowering to look back on the growth of my company and think about how far I've come - from sewing dresses in middle school to shipping styles from my dorm room to being carried in major retailers across the country. Today I'm empowered on a daily basis by the dedication, talent, and creativity of my majority women team as we continue expanding with new categories like bridesmaid dresses and athleisure.

MF: We inspire women and lift up others by delivering clothing that is both accessible and inclusive, for all budgets and body types. Our collection retails mostly under $100 and is designed to fit the needs of all women so they can look good and feel good. It's amazing to see our customers wearing WAYF and feeling confident, especially when they choose our brand for important life moments like a prom, wedding, or baby shower, and knowing that we played a small role in shaping those memories.

MF: Our new Spring collection is my favorite to date. We are finally able to get back to fun dressing! Our customer is going back to her life and we are able to deliver what we do best: dresses for all spring occasions, sexy sets for summer nights out, lots of print, and fun colors. I can't wait to see our customers living their best lives in this collection!

Using Gibbs reflection theory, I will be reflecting on my role as a marketing consultant within my group.

Upon meeting my group, at first I realised that we all had different ideas and expectations as to what to outcome of what the group work would be. Individually, we all had unique and and strong ideas that were contributed to the assignment and had good reason as to why and how they should be used. one of the issues we faced, is deciding what ideas should be used and which shouldn't, this dilemma caused a stir in the group dynamic. As a group, we came together and to discus if we could compromise, and think of any pros and cons of the different ideas and think of the bigger picture of the end goal of the assignment in order to reach a solution that everyone was happy with. Through compromise, and listening to constructive criticism, we were able to narrow down our ideas and come to a solution which suited everyone. Together, we thought about all our strengths and weaknesses, and which roles best suited us individually. After a personal and group reflection, we were able to assign roles that we were all comfortable and happy with which showed off our strengths. This allowed us all to contribute our best to the assignment, and create a piece of work that we were all happy with.
