Ever wonder how a childhood fascination with bugs transforms into a sought-after luxury accessories brand? In this episode, Camille sits down with Emily Carter—the self-taught British designer whose silk scarves and homeware are now carried by top department stores like Liberty and Harvey Nichols. Growing up in the countryside, Emily spent endless hours sketching insects and dreaming of becoming a biologist. Today, her nature-inspired artwork features in Vogue, on the shoulders of celebrity clients like Kate Moss, and even on exclusive custom pieces for the likes of Harrods.But Emily’s path wasn’t always runway-perfect. Hear her raw account of getting fired from a department store (only to be stocked there later), surviving creative slumps, and launching her label while juggling a full-time job. She also shares why she turns to rowing on the River Thames for balance—and how forging the right community (and even snagging a spot on Forbes 30 Under 30) carried her through the toughest moments.
