About this listen

Gabriela Hearst is one of the rare figures in fashion with an unwavering commitment to sustainability.

At the top, we discuss her luminous Spring Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week (4:00), her childhood herding cattle on a 17,000-acre ranch in Uruguay (6:00), and the gaucho traditions that shaped her philosophy around art-making (10:00). Then, Gabriela reflects on the manifestation practice that’s guided her since adolescence (15:00), how love and heartbreak fueled her creatively (18:00), and what she took from a detour into acting (20:00).

On the back-half, she speaks candidly about motherhood (22:00), founding her first label, Candela (24:00), and breaking free from the vicious cycle of fast fashion (30:00). To close, we walk through the past decade of Gabriela Hearst (38:00), the long-term vision for the namesake brand (45:00), and the affirmation that keeps her grounded (54:00).
