Summary

#308: Is working in fashion as glamorous as it seems?

This week, I’m joined by fashion consultant and PR powerhouse Sandrine Charles for a conversation that I know is going to stick with you. From working her way up in the fashion industry to starting her own agency and co-founding the Black in Fashion Council, Sandrine has built a career rooted in intention, integrity, and impact.

We talk about what it actually takes to grow a career in fashion PR, how she knew it was time to branch out on her own, and why representation in fashion goes way beyond who’s walking the runway.

Whether you’re in a creative industry, figuring out your next career move, or just trying to build something that feels more aligned—you’ll get so much out of this conversation. This episode is for anyone who's craving a more values-aligned path—and wants the inspiration to go after it.


We also talk about:

  • How Sandrine broke into the fashion industry
  • The not-so-glamorous truth about PR
  • Why she started her own agency (and how she knew she was ready)
  • How the Black in Fashion Council came to be
  • Why fashion is about so much more than just clothes
