In this 5 May 2025 video, host Steven Bartlett talks with Emma Grede, the founding partner behind the globally successful brands SKIMS, Good American, and Safely, all launched with the Kardashian family. She is also Chairwoman of The Fifteen Percent Pledge, is a board member at Baby2Baby, and was named one of Forbes ‘Richest Self-Made Women in America’.
*Growing up in East London, raised by a single mother, and how early hardship forged her fierce independence. *Taking on a maternal role from childhood, learning to lead through responsibility, empathy, and survival. *Turning rejection, dyslexia, and a lack of qualifications into fuel for building billion-dollar fashion brands. *Balancing ambition and motherhood, and the personal toll of leadership, hustle, and hard decisions. *Building SKIMS and Good American without fashion training, and the mindset that made it all possible.
