How to achieve commercial creative success, with Creative Director, Stephen Briars (Louis Vuitton, Paul Smith, Urban Outfitters, The Conran Shop).

My guest for this episode is Creative Director, Stephen Briars (Louis Vuitton, Paul Smith, Urban Outfitters and The Conran Shop). Throughout our discussion, at times we touch on Stephen’s creative process but with such an impressive career background I was mostly interested to hear how he had achieved such a seemingly constant string of successes with this remarkable portfolio of creative thought leaders. I’ve known Stephen for pretty much my entire career and have always admired his courage to commit to projects and only then figure out how to execute them by applying practicality, productivity, and a sense of purpose. The resulting conversation is a masterclass in balancing the creative and commercial ambitions of some of the world’s best-known, innovative, fashion and interiors brands. I hope you’re as inspired as I was by Stephen’s story. If you are it will really help if you rate and subscribe to the podcast. Thanks!
