This is a clip from our Fashion Anti-School, where people get live, direct access to the founders, creative directors, and executives building the world's leading fashion brands. Full session + live Q&A available inside. Join the next one here: https://www.skool.com/fashionantischool Join our newsletter for weekly interviews with fashion leaders: https://www.beyondfashionbusiness.com/ Today's guest is Jennifer Fisher, founder and CEO of Jennifer Fisher Jewelry, a brand she has been building for twenty years starting with a single dog tag she made the day her son was born. This is not a conversation about strategy or growth tactics but about what twenty years of building something you genuinely believe in actually looks like from the inside, with the burnout and the course corrections and the moments of doubt and the thing that keeps you going through all of it. We talk about why she stayed direct to consumer when everyone else went wholesale, how she expanded into lifestyle and media without losing the jewelry brand's identity, and what she told me in the middle of this conversation about being burnt out today that makes this one of the most honest interviews I have recorded. If you are building something and you are wondering whether it is worth keeping going, this episode answers that question in a way that will stay with you.

He watched the brand grow from an 80-person debut show in Paris to one of the top five shows in the city by EMV, the only independent brand to reach that level without financial backing. He became SVP of Brand and Communications before turning 30 and was chosen for the Forbes 30 Under 30. This conversation is not about strategy or product decisions. It is about what building actually required him to become. The kind of personal growth a business demands at every stage, and what happens when you are not ready, but go anyway. If you are building a brand, this is about the version of yourself your business needs that does not exist yet, and what it really takes to become it.

This is not a conversation about creative vision or brand aesthetics. It is about the filter that makes every hard decision easier, and what happens when you build a brand without one. We talk about why he dropped a bestselling product while it was still selling, how to hold the creative and business sides together when you are the only person doing both, and why the brands that look like they have always known who they are did not get lucky. They just never stopped asking the right question. If you are trying to build something that lasts without losing what makes it worth building in the first place, this episode breaks down what that actually takes.Sonnet 4.6

This is not a conversation about creative vision or brand aesthetics. It is about the structure that makes creative freedom possible in the first place. We talk about why their most creative products were always the ones everyone inside the company was most skeptical about, how they built a business where creativity and commerce are always in tension with each other, and why that tension is not a problem to solve but the strategy itself. If you are trying to figure out how to keep your brand creatively strong while actually growing it as a business, this episode breaks down what that looks like in practice.

Today’s guest is Shira Sue Carmi. Shira is someone a lot of people don’t know by name, but they should because shira has helped shape some of the most influential brands of the last two decades. Brands like Mansur Gavriel, Altuzarra, Mara Hoffman, Serena Williams, and more. She’s been behind the scenes as an advisor, president, and CEO of a lot of these brands. She is an expert at scaling creative-led businesses, navigating high-growth, and growing brands that actually work as businesses. In this episode, we break down what actually drives success in fashion: Why is demand more important than infrastructure? Why most brands scale before they’re ready. And how profitability buys you something more powerful than growth — patience. If you’re building a brand and want a clearer, more grounded way forward — this one’s for you. Hope this conversation is valuable.
