Episode 70: Guy Laroche, The Designer Who Meant Business

Isabella Blow got us wondering – who was Guy Laroche? And why was she drawn to West Texas to work for him? Well, spoiler alert… She just worked in one of his boutiques. Nevertheless, this week we take a look at Guy Laroche’s life and career. It turns out he had quite the knack for business, identifying early manufacturing trends and bringing in partners at crucial times throughout his brand’s history. He was also a keen designer who transitioned early into RTW. Listen in this week to learn more about his contributions to the fashion industry, including (gasp) culottes. Plus in Style Snacks we speculate on Saint Laurent’s confirmed absence from the runway and Gigi Hadid’s pregnancy. There’s also some good news with CR Runway x amFAR’s digital fashion show, Sotherby’s record breaking Cartier bracelet and the #metgalachallenge.
