Clare Hornby On Business, Bravery & Building A Brand

from Fearless · host Trinny Woodall

For this business deep dive episode, Trinny is joined by Clare Hornby – Founder and CEO of British womenswear label ME+EM.  Welcome to Fearless, the empowering podcast that tells the stories of inspirational people who have overcome challenges and fears in their lives in order to thrive. Clare has always been passionate about fashion, fit and fabrication. She grew up making clothes with her mother, but it wasn’t until her graduate training scheme at Harrods that she noticed a gaping hole in the market – for designer-quality, well-made clothes at affordable prices. Together, she and Trinny are delving into the origins of ME+EM, the business journey Clare has been on since the brand’s launch in 2007, and the invaluable lessons that she has learned along the way.  Plus, they discuss the fear of failure, the importance of caring about your customer and the resilience required of female entrepreneurs.  Watch the video version of this episode on Trinny’s YouTube channel: @TrinnyLondon
