What does it really take to build a fashion platform that supports hundreds of independent designers around the world? In this episode, we sit down with Elizabeth Solomeina, co-founder and creative director behind one of the most innovative spaces for emerging fashion talent in New York and Paris.
Originally from Russia, Elizabeth moved to New York at 20 and turned her creative instincts and entrepreneurial drive into a global platform that offers designers more than visibility - it gives them a voice. From hosting shows during peak lockdown to challenging the idea that “creatives can’t work together,” her journey is packed with insight, resilience, and real-world advice.
We talk about:
How she turned “no” into an opportunity,
Why collaboration beats competition
The business side of fashion no one sees
What it actually takes to grow a brand today
And how not knowing the rules helped her rewrite them
Whether you’re a designer, entrepreneur, or fashion lover, this episode is packed with lessons that go far beyond the runway.
