Marchesa reposted this
It’s finally here – my first full-length episode of The Spark! I am absolutely thrilled to share the inaugural interview in its entirety. And who better to kick off the series than Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, one of the world’s preeminent fashion houses. With a career spanning the worlds of both fashion and film, Georgina has dozens of valuable insights—and a healthy degree of encouragement—for up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Here are some of the biggest topics we tackled: 🔎Finding your spark – Georgina realized her passion as a young girl touring a museum; this humble beginning set the stage for what would eventually become a fashion empire, and goes to show that inspiration can strike anytime, anywhere. 👨👩👧The value of support systems – Georgina credited much of her success to her supportive family. Having a network of people who believed in her and encouraged her to chase her dreams proved to be invaluable, especially during the early years. 📈The challenges of scaling – Contrary to popular belief, Georgina specifically cautioned against “growth for the sake of growth” – opting instead to curate a team that reflects Marchesa’s values and brand. This is just a tiny sample of everything we discussed, and I encourage you to dive in and watch the whole thing – especially if you’re an entrepreneur yourself.
