When Tamara Mellon would give her friends wardrobe makeovers in school, it hadn't yet occurred to her that one day she would co-found the luxury shoe brand, Jimmy Choo. Armed with a ?£150,000 loan from her father, 27 year old Tamara teamed up with Jimmy Choo, an East London shoe cobbler, and launched the company in 1996. 16 years later, she left the company and in 2016 (after a failed first attempt) launched her namesake shoe label by breaking industry rules and selling direct to consumer. On this episode, Tamara opens up about her journey in the fashion industry from her department store days to British Vogue and Jimmy Choo, disrupting the fashion industry and why she went digital, how she's advocating for equal pay and her advice for when you feel stuck in life.
