“Lately, I've been looking to the Swedish marketing whiz who runs her own brand marketing agency and used to work at Uber and Away. She nails the effortlessly chic, modern, cool, fashion-girl aesthetic that's as appropriate on the Lower East Side as it is in a creative pitch meeting. I love getting layering inspo from her, like adding a fitted turtleneck under a flowy wrap dress or gawking at some of her funky suiting.”
