Daphne discusses her collaborations with major brands like Balenciaga, Levi’s, On Running, and others—and explains how the company has raised more than $1.5 million in donations in under four years.

Lauren Sherman, a Puck correspondent, pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes world of style and commerce in Fashion People. This isn't about seasonal trends you can see on the runway; it's about the seismic shifts and whispered conversations that actually shape the industry. Each episode features a rotating cast of insiders, offering unfiltered perspective on the real forces at play. They dig into the surprising mechanics behind creative director musical chairs, unpack the billion-dollar mergers and acquisitions that redraw the corporate map, and examine why some direct-to-consumer darlings stumble. You'll get the inside take on magazine upheavals and the unvarnished truths that never make it into a polished press release. This audio experience extends the work of Lauren's private Puck newsletter, Line Sheet, creating a space for nuanced discussion that lives between the lines of fashion, beauty, and the business that connects them. Tune in for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the personalities, power plays, and pivotal moments defining a multi-trillion-dollar global industry. This podcast, from Audacy and Puck, feels like eavesdropping on the most informed conversation in the room.
