The Who What Wear Podcast: Nobody Wants This Costume Designer Negar Ali Kline on Portraying Authentic L.A. Style and Where to Shop the Characters’ Wardrobes

Camille Charrière is widely known as one of the original fashion influencers. Today, in addition to sharing her life and style with her 1.4 million Instagram followers, she’s a contributing editor for Elle UK and has written for publications such as Harper’s Bazaar and British Vogue. But before Charrière was a leader in fashion media, her early career looked quite different. After graduating from one of the top bilingual law programs in Paris, Charrière took a job at a hedge fund in London but quickly realized she was craving a more creative outlet. While on holiday, Charrière became inspired while scrolling through an early fashion blog, and within the hour, her own blog was up and running. With her digital presence, she was able to land jobs at fashion retailers such as Net-a-Porter and Matches. Eventually, she left these jobs to pursue her career as a blogger and influencer full-time.

There’s no question that Morgan DeBaun is an absolute force in the business world. Frustrated by the lack of media geared toward Black millennials, DeBaun, who was just 24 years old at the time, left her job at Intuit and set out to build a media company where she would be part of the target demographic. Alongside her co-founders, DeBaun has grown Blavity into a full-on media and tech empire, and today, her portfolio of brands reaches 250 million readers each month. In building Blavity, DeBaun raised $12 million from top venture capital firms, making her a part of the only 2% of women who receive venture funding in Silicon Valley. DeBaun also runs AfroTech, a networking conference and talent-acquisition solution that hosted 25k attendees last year. When DeBaun isn’t working on her own business, she’s consulting for massive global companies such as Pepsi and American Airlines.

Sheena Zadeh-Daly’s buzzy clean makeup brand, Kosas Cosmetics, has gone viral time and again, and if you’re one of the millions of people who have purchased the brand’s best seller—the Revealer Concealer—or any of its other innovative products, you know why. Today, Kosas products are sold in retailers such as Sephora nationwide and are beloved for their comfortable, weightless feel. Not to mention, they’re clinically proven to make your skin better. But before Zadeh-Daly was creating one of the fastest-growing prestige makeup brands in the U.S., her career looked quite different. After studying biological sciences and working as a microbiologist in a lab—experiences that have certainly helped in the development of Kosas—Zadeh-Daly went on to work in the art world. It was actually there, in a portrait painting class, where she began to think about color not just as paint but also as potential lipstick shades for a makeup brand she’d been secretly dreaming up for years.
