Episode 97 Drop-Off, Pick-Up, Paris, Vogue: A Fashion Journey with Andrea Moore Beaulieu

Fashion designer Andrea Moore Beaulieu had a literal dream that told her to open a store. Weeks later, she did—and The Makers NY in Larchmont was born. Now, less than two years later, she presented her designs during Paris Fashion Week, and her clothing has been seen in Vogue and other fashion magazines. In this episode, Andrea shares how she sews every garment herself while raising three kids (including twins), why her store hours match her children's school schedule, and how she's redefining slow fashion with radical transparency. From working with deadstock fabrics to turning a mother's wedding dress into her daughter's rehearsal dinner outfit, Andrea proves that integrating work and family creates space for both creativity and presence.Recorded at the LMC Media Podcast Studio in Mamaroneck, NY on December 10, 2025.
