I'm joined today by fashion legend Carmen Borgonovo for a deep, insightful conversation about business and fashion. With an illustrious career in magazine journalism at legacy media titles such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and W Magazine – Carmen joined forces with her business partner Joana de Norohna to fill the gap in the market for beautifully crafted dresses that honored their love for color, art, and print. The result was Borgo de Nor, a brand that champions getting dressed up, whether on holiday or at home, and has swiftly become the fashion insider’s go-to for signature print dresses that are utterly feminine, bold, and uplifting.

We start by going back to the golden era of fashion and how important is was to be in awe and be a sponge in New York in the 90s. Carmen then takes us along her path from working in magazines to moving to Milan and completely shifting her sense of self, to building a team around her and starting her own brand. We talk about problem solving, keeping your eyes alert to every inspiration, how taking a step back helped her find the right path, and - as many of our guests have said - that asking for help is the best way to grow.

Her wisdom and love of life inspire me, and I hope they'll inspire you too.
