Somalia Knight
A Fashion Moment
10/06/21 • 58 min
Standing at a statuesque 5'11" model Somalia Knight was determined to become a model. Inspired by the hit show "America's Next Top Model," Somalia's determination grew more than ever. She started a fashion club in high school to foster a community of fashion enthusiasts and raise funding to support various philanthropic efforts like combating eating disorders. Determined to overcome the exhaustion of being bullied, Somalia graduated early at the top of her class. She would later meet an agent who would help launch her career.
With her unique look and newfound confidence, Somalia shaved her head, showing off her prominent ears, which would further catapult her career into working with one of the top modeling agencies in the world. She's walked for designers like Calvin Klein and LaQuan Smith and appeared in magazines like iD and NYLON. We had a chat about her modeling journey, her experience working with Solange, and the power of breaking out of the box.

Rebecca Minkoff
A Fashion Moment
09/15/21 • 45 min
With a designer presence in over 900 retail stores around the world, any fashion lover knows the signature look of a Rebecca Minkoff design. As the Chief Creative Officer of her fashion empire, Rebecca Minkoff and her brother, Uri Minkoff, officially launched her iconic global brand in 2005. Following a rapid launch onto the national scene, Rebecca’s signature reconstructed “I Love New York” T-shirt emerged as a trademark item in women’s apparel. Her now multimillion-dollar business spans from handbags to footwear to jewelry to fragrances--and the list goes on.
In her recent book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success, Rebecca outlines 21 key rules for a more courageous and inspired approach to daily life--all influenced by the trials and tribulations of her own. While balancing her life as a serial entrepreneur and married mother of three, Rebecca dedicates time to help other women through her non-profit, the Female Founder Collective, and through the powerful stories shared on her hit podcast, Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff. Kirsten Holtz Naim sits down with Rebecca to discuss her journey as a serial rule-breaker, paving her own path, signing her own permission slips, and creating her own rules.
