Approaching four decades of working together, fashion designer Anna Sui and R+Co co-founder Garren often set the tone for where hair and fashion are going. Having met in the ’80s through photographer Steven Meisel on a shoot for Italian Vogue, the two creatives  had a mind-meld that couldn’t be broken. At the time, Sui worked as a wardrobe stylist, but her aesthetic was clear: “Anna was really into pattern on pattern on pattern on pattern, and I was just watching her, how she was absorbing everything,” says Garren. “And, then there was a moment when Steven said to her, ‘You need to start designing.’” Naturally, Garren became part of the team to perfect Sui’s first fashion show, which starred all of the supermodels of the time—think: Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell. And the duo still collaborates today, the latest project being Sui’s exclusive ocelot-print robe for R+Co BLEU. Here, the two chat about the robe’s history as well as the thought that went into creating it.

In this episode of R+Co Talk Radio, we spend time with Matt Hill, founder of One Tree Planted, to learn how we as individuals, and as a collective of humans, can take even the smallest of steps to better our environment. Hill explains how trees help clean the air we breathe, filter drinking water and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Forests provide jobs to more than 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines.
