Laura Brown

Wow.

Um, her name is Laura Brown.

Wow, Laura.

And, and she's a very famous person in the fashion industry from Australia, and f- 15, 16 years ago, when I was writing Model Land, I was like, "I have this Australian character," so I was like, "Give me some stuff.

Oh, that's so kind.

That's very sweet.

And so Laura Brown, Guru Lauro.

Uh, so who inspired Cremolata Defecake? [laughs]

We could make sensible predictions in terms of what people wanted.

But the introduction and the entry point and what took off on social, this is before you had to pay celebrities, and remember I worked with Laura Brown, who was an, uh, Australian editor.

I worked with Margaret Zhang, who the, went on to be the editor of Vogue China, but at the time she was just a young girl at university, quite shy, very intelligent-

Right

Mm.

And I went up to you like this, and I went, "Hi, I'm Laura Brown.

I think you need a, a drink." And you went, "I really do."

[laughs]

And most importantly stay cool, everyone.

Stay cool, everyone.

I've been there, and I've struggled with finding myself again, and I'm passionate about helping women understand their value and purpose.

So I'm especially excited to share my conversation with Laura Brown with you.

Now, Laura was the most powerful Australian in fashion media for many years, and she's someone who is now helping women reclaim themselves, and she knows from experience, having started a movement called All the Cool Girls Get Fired after being fired as global editor-in-chief of InStyle magazine.

Now, that movement started as a hashtag on her social media that grew into a book that she co-authored, and now a podcast of the same name.

You are going to love cool girl Laura Brown.

Now, Laura Brown.

Yes.

This is a conversation that I have been manifesting for a very long time.

Um, it's, it's pretty dramatic, but not that dramatic, and I think it's good to read it.

I honestly, I think she needs to go on, uh, Laura Brown and Christine O'Neill's All the Cool Girls Get Fired show, 'cause it's like the classic, like, it could be a chapter in their book.

Anyway, it was interesting.

I'm gonna have a lot more reporting from, you know, all, all around Fashion Week and all around the companies and all that good stuff.

Stay cool, everyone.

I think that this ability to generate fan experiences is the experience actually like the world cup is a highly digital experience now in a way that i don't think that other sporting events have necessarily been in the past where you're it's not just about the game it's about the whole fan thing happening outside of the game and the memes and the brazilians doing this and the you know the the people from norway doing their rowing and like all that stuff is is actually the experience of these events you know

Laura has no idea what you're talking about, Kevin.

How dare you? The Verde goalkeeper has got 15 million Instagram followers now.

There's that crazy-ass Norwegian who just runs around like he's a truck.

Like, you know, like I find that very inspiring.

I hope I could be like that, you know, when I'm older.

That's where Laura and I see our lane.
