Summary

Hairstylist Garren transformed models into supermodels (Linda Evangelista, Karlie Kloss), helped celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Madonna create their looks, and co-founded the hair line R+Co during his long and legendary career. In this interview, he tells us everything: the guidance counselor who told him he wasn’t allowed to do hair; the photographers he collaborated with (Irving Penn! Richard Avedon!); and all the things he’s learned about people—and their hair—along the way. This interview originally aired in 2019, but we’re presenting it with a new intro. We’ll be back to our regular schedule next week!

to edit it and to put it into this format. Then he was the co-founder of R&CO. I completely forgot

that. Are you kidding? I mean, this is like a major major. Well, you know, there's been so many milestones

0:52.1

in Garen's career that like, and how can I pick one? He had a line. And then the R&CO was like

0:58.7

one of his other lines, but R&CO has been the big runaway success. But what I think of Garen.

1:03.0

I think that can I just introduce I think that's why because to me, it just feels like it's

was a dinner for the launch dinner for R&CO and it had all the founders together. But I do think

that was a smart strategy to not make it about one hairstyle. Yes. It was a collective. Yes.

This is not about R&CO. We do talk about that though. We do. But like, there's too much to
