Flavia Zhamo, the visionary behind EC Studios and Everyday Chemist, is redefining the beauty industry with her deliberate focus on slow beauty, innovation and collaboration. Shaped by her roots as a poet and the daughter of a chemical engineer, we talk skincare, art, and science—and how she creates her best-selling products from scratch.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Heather Chan, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Moonbow, an upcoming skincare brand rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We talk stress, anxiety, skin troubles, and the holistic approach of Eastern Medicine—an approach that has yet to fully make its mark in the North American skincare industry.

I recently had an in-depth conversation with a prominent figure in the business world, particularly within the fashion industry. As the CEO of one of North America's largest fashion houses, he requested to remain unnamed, reflecting his commitment to a low-profile approach. During our conversation we talked trial and error, re-inventing yourself, and the opportunities currently available within the fashion-business world today.
