Elle’s admiration for her guests, as well as passion for all things fashion and beauty shines through each interview and her warmth encourages vulnerability from her guests.

It is a must listen for anyone who dreams of working at the highest levels of fashion and beauty.

Elle rose to fame from her acclaimed fashion and lifestyle blog ‘They All Hate Us’, cultivating a large following from her fashion and modelling collaborations, before launching her own vegan beauty brand ‘Elle Effect’ in 2018. The female founder has worked alongside some of the biggest names in fashion and beauty globally.

Entrepreneur and digital influencer, Elle Ferguson, said: “Throughout my career in fashion and beauty, I’ve been lucky enough to meet the amazing people behind the world’s biggest fashion brands and celebrities’ most iconic looks. Every time I met one of these people, they shared their incredible journey to success with me. All of which seemed to start with one sliding door moment, a moment where they decided to go it alone and make a passion their profession.
