Episode 2.2 - Garance Doré

A conversation with Amy Smilovic and Garance Doré. Garance is a New York Times Best-Selling Author, renowned Photographer, and illustrator. In 2007 Garance began shooting street-style photography in Paris with a uniquely creative point of view, marking a shift in the era of highly calculated editorial "street" fashion photography to one characterized by a raw, personal, and unembellished perspective, changing the course of the discipline forever. Known to many as the original fashion blogger, Garance has no doubt had a significant influence on the way street style is captured today. In 2015, Garance released her first book, Love Style Life, a NYT Best-Seller, and a narrative journey through the various creative endeavors of her career, from photography to illustration to authorship. In 2022, Garance co-founded Doré, a French skincare line rooted in modernity, simplicity, and transparency. Throughout the podcast, Amy and Garance discuss the pivotal moments of her childhood, the ups and downs of her career in the volatile industry of fashion, and that which brings her ultimate happiness today.
