In 2017, the outdoor space surrounding Allison Messner’s home in Northern California was destroyed by a devastating wildfire. In the aftermath, Allison and her husband decided to hire a landscape designer to help them rebuild their green space, but they quickly realized how difficult, long, and expensive the process was going to be. The two began developing an idea to make the process more efficient and accessible by incorporating new technology, and in 2018, they launched Yardzen, a digital landscape design and build platform. Today, the company operates in all 50 states with a network of hundreds of designers and architects. But before Allison disrupted the landscape industry, she reported as a journalist in Alaska, worked at a prestigious PR firm, was CMO of the tech company OpenDNS when it was acquired by Cisco for $635 million, and even started her own venture capital firm.

Stylist Jamie Mizrahi may not look to trends for inspiration, but she's certainly been known to help set a few of them. For instance, her client Jennifer Lawrence has made fashion headlines countless times since they partnered up, and we've watched the influence of J.Law's elevated yet effortless street style ripple through the community in the recent surge of simple, polished basics. Whether she's advising Jeremy Allen White on which button to unbutton or creating a new custom black gown for Adele's Vegas residency every single weekend, Mizrahi's through line is always to give her clients a lived-in look that emphasizes their unique sense of style. This week, Mizrahi shares why she generally ignores fashion industry standards and encourages clients to rewear pieces, dig into the past seasons' archives, and dress in a way that feels authentic.

Shereene Idriss, MD, is on a mission to demystify the world of dermatology and skincare. Back in 2018, Idriss felt frustrated by the rise of misinformation online surrounding skincare and decided to set the record straight. With her background as a clinical dermatologist, she began posting educational Instagram Stories from her bed, and soon, a follower aptly dubbed her the PillowTalk Derm. Today, Idriss’s influence in the skincare world is threefold. Since graduating from her seven-year medical program, she’s amassed an audience of over 3 million people, opened her own dermatology practice, and created a skincare line called Dr. Idriss, which just launched at Sephora.
