Chiara is a perfect ambassador of what the next generation is all about. She is bi-cultural and has lived and studies in several continents. She is full of hope and dreams about her career and sees fashion has a global and glamorous industry. However like many of her peers, she is not blind regarding the challenges that lies in front of her in order to make fashion a more inclusive and sustainable industry.

In this conversation, Chiara will share her journey in the fashion and luxury industry so far. You will discover how she found a way to mix her passion for psychology, gender studies and fashion. Not only in a position that even me has never heard before, but also doing it at one of the top luxury brand on the planet. (For confidentiality reasons, we won't name the of brand).You will also learn why planning every step of your career is sometimes not so useful and why overcoming your fear of networking could be one of your best investment in the long run.

Around 3/4 of the episode, Chiara and I, even enter in a quick coaching session, where we get deep into the tranches on how to craft and design your career strategy. If you are in moment of transition, you will find their some interesting questions to ask yourself.
