173. Emilie Rubinfeld | Leading the House of Herrera
14/05/2026 | 42 mins.
Emilie Rubinfeld is the president of Carolina Herrera, who's confidently leading the House into a new chapter after the departure of Carolina in 2018. Emily offers a window into the vast opportunities in the business of fashion, and shares how she's pivoted and communicated openly in challenging times, and that there's no playbook for running a global fashion house.
172. Jenny Bird | The Chapters of Jenny Bird
23/04/2026 | 1h
Jenny Bird, Founder and Creative Director of her eponymous jewelry brand, built her business through evolution, shaped as much by personal turning points as creative ones.

From a defining quarter-life crisis to navigating perimenopause while leading a company, her approach is rooted in designing a life that reflects who you are.⁠

Tune into the episode to hear how she’s built a brand alongside her own growth, embracing change at every stage.⁠

ARCHIVE | Yaser Shaw
14/04/2026 | 28 mins.
Yaser Shaw's family has been in the shawl business for over 200 years, and Yaser is leading this generation of the family business. On this episode, Yaser and Laura discuss the intricate art of shawl making with over 700 artisans across Kashmir.

From the shearing of the goats to the hand-weaving and embroidery, the process to create one shawl can take anywhere from three months to several years and remarkably, "not one drop of electricity is used."

171. Frances Howie | Fabric, Fforme, & Frances
19/03/2026 | 1h
Growing up in a rural art community in New Zealand meant Frances Howie developed a point of view untouched by trend cycles — one rooted in instinct, independence, and distance from the noise.⁠
⁠
Tune into the episode to hear how that early perspective shaped her journey across Paris, London, and New York, and eventually to Fforme.⁠
170. Ileana Makri | The Language of Jewelry
25/02/2026 | 54 mins.
Ileana Makri is an Athens-based jewelry designer who is treasured by Capitol (and so many others!) for her signature pieces from the thread band to the evil eye. In this episode of What We Wore, she shares why, to her, stones are alive—why she feels a deep connection to those formed by nature, and why that energy matters in the pieces she creates.⁠
