Tara Rudes Dann: Building L'AGENCE, Timeless Style Over Trends, & Leading with Confidence

What this episode covers

Tara Rudes Dann is the fashion director of L'AGENCE, a brand she has helped build into a wardrobe staple for women everywhere from a foundation of timeless tailoring, community, and an obsessive commitment to how a woman feels in her clothes. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about growing up third generation in the fashion industry and what that instilled in her from a young age, why she believes trends are the most overrated thing in fashion and what she focuses on instead, and what separates the brands that last from the ones that don't. They also discuss what it takes to lead a passionate team, how to build a business when you're starting out solo, the L'AGENCE Fashion Week experience, and why your best outfit will always be your confidence.📌 Rivki's IG: rivkirabinowitz | TikTok: rivkirabinowitz📌 Tara's IG:tararudesdann00:00 Intro01:31 Tara's Origin Story & Family Background02:25 Third Generation in Fashion05:00 Finding Your Personal Style07:25 What Confidence Compounds With Age09:59 Learning to Say No14:04 Day in the Life17:38 The L'Agence Fashion Week Experience21:57 What Makes L'Agence Last24:39 Building a Business Solo & Asking for Help27:04 Leadership Triumphs & Struggles30:01 Rapid Fire Fashion Questions
