Pardon My French with Garance Doré

This month on our site we’re talking about growing up. What does growing up even mean? Do we ever really grow up? These are things we’re exploring in our last podcast episode of the season, and we thought it would be fun to talk to some of the most honest people out there – kids! [...]

Garance was so honored when her friend Stephanie Danan asked her to participate in the Pre-Fall campaign for Co, the brand she co-created with her partner, Justin Kern.

Garance was so honored when her friend Stephanie Danan asked her to participate in the Pre-Fall campaign for Co, the brand she co-created with her partner, Justin Kern. Not only because she deeply respects Stephanie and everything she does, but because she knows how important it is for Stephanie to collaborate with people she truly connects with, on a human level. Stephanie’s journey is fascinating and her honesty about it, incredibly refreshing. They talk about her journey from studying and working in the film industry for more than a decade to moving into the fashion industry, a world she once swore she’d never join. Her story is full of wisdom gained through deep reflection and years of stripping away the layers, to finally live a life that is in line with who she truly is.

In our last pocket episode of the season, Christina, Linne, Veronica and Carie are talking about what we thought our adult lives would look like when we were youngsters. From the influence of media shaping the lives we wanted to lead and crafting our lives around those ideals, to the reality of paying NYC rent [...]

This month on the site we’re covering the idea of growing up and getting older. Adulting, if you will. Today Veronica’s in NYC with Linne and Christina and Carie’s calling in from LA and the four of them are talking about the realness of burnout (it’s officially a medical diagnosis), the stresses and the freedoms [...]

This month on the site we’re covering the idea of growing up and getting older. Adulting, if you will. Today Veronica’s in NYC with Linne and Christina and Carie’s calling in from LA and the four of them are talking about the realness of burnout (it’s officially a medical diagnosis), the stresses and the freedoms we feel from being adults. We discuss the idea of feeling like an adult vs. a younger version of ourselves and more. What does adulting feel like to you??

It’s possible you don’t know the name Ian Schrager, but you definitely know some of the projects he’s created. You know — the incredibly iconic nightclub, Studio 54, that he co-founded in the late 1970s, or one of the numerous hotels he has around the world with EDITION Hotels that he created in partnership with [...]

It’s possible you don’t know the name Ian Schrager, but you definitely know some of the projects he’s created. You know — the incredibly iconic nightclub, Studio 54, that he co-founded in the late 1970s, or one of the numerous hotels he has around the world with EDITION Hotels that he created in partnership with Marriott, or perhaps the very cool PUBLIC Hotel in NYC. Either way, it’s very clear from my conversation with Ian that he’s always been a boundary pusher with his finger on the pulse. He’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in the world of architecture, traveled the globe and learned some hard lessons along the way. Today, he has embraced a slower pace of life than his early nightclub days, but he’s still very much a powerhouse. Pardon My French is released on iTunes every Monday.

Sometimes in life, renewal comes after of one of those « aha » moments and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it comes after an accumulation of a few, or many little things that bring you to a place where you’re finally ready to dig deep and make some changes, on your own terms. Even if it means having [...]

Sometimes in life, renewal comes after of one of those « aha » moments and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it comes after an accumulation of a few, or many little things that bring you to a place where you’re finally ready to dig deep and make some changes, on your own terms. Even if it means having to lean against the trauma, no matter how big or small, to get you to a place of renewal and growth, where you’re able to see with clarity, the before and the after. Recognizing this and allowing yourself to feel – whether that be sadness, happiness or just a real need for rest, is what I’m talking about today with Emily and Veronica. Giving yourself permission to prioritize yourself, and the good that can come from it – not only for you, but everyone in your life, is both valid and vital.

Spirituality is a big topic to try and tackle in a pocket episode, but Emily, Veronica, Linne and Nathan make a serious effort this week. While they cover the heavier topics like the connectedness of spirituality and religion, the unexpected and moving moments when you feel most spiritual, fear of death and annoyance at how the wellness movement positions spirituality, there’s always room for the lighter bits — astrology and spirit animals!

Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes and can easily go unnoticed as it can exist in the simplest forms. You can express it in your day to day life by the way you arrange flowers at home, a present you give, how you craft an email or through a meal you make for loved [...]

Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes and can easily go unnoticed as it can exist in the simplest forms. You can express it in your day to day life by the way you arrange flowers at home, a present you give, how you craft an email or through a meal you make for loved ones. For some, it can also take a few career paths before they discover that creative passions they had all along can turn into a livelihood and ultimately send them down a road they were always meant to take. Lauren Schaefer, is one of these people. Our producer, Carie, who’s known Lauren for years, was lucky enough to chat with her in between her many projects about discovering her passion for working with food and how she brings creativity to everything she does.
