Enzo Lefort | Laure Guilbault | Sunday Night Live

Asad Syrkett, head of editorial content at AD Italy, discusses his move from New York to Milan, why the city is Europe's design capital, Frank Gehry’s legacy, and his go-to decor tips and hidden design gems you need to know.

Icon, designer, author. Inès de la Fressange is joining me on Sunday Night Live to celebrate the Roger Vivier x Mytheresa holiday collection—and her new book La Parisienne en Provence.

JJ Martin — the Californian-born marketing executive who moved to Milan in 2001 and founded La DoubleJ in 2015 — joins me this Sunday. JJ last popped onto Sunday Night Live in 2021, so this catch-up is way overdue! Since then, she’s inaugurated La Double J's new Milan “star quarters”, opened new stores, introduced the “Sisterhood” community, and expanded into homeware and jewellery. 

Erdem Moralıoğlu is getting ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his namesake fashion house in 2026. But even before that big milestone, 2025 has already been quite a year for him. He released a beautiful book titled Erdem, published by Rizzoli; designed the costumes for the ballet Corybantic Games, currently on stage at the Opéra Bastille; opened a second boutique in London; and took part in both the Louvre exhibition and the Marie Antoinette show at the V&A — not to mention his stunning shows at London Fashion Week. We couldn’t quite decide whether to speak in English or French, so we ended up doing both — mostly English, with a little French at the end. I hope you enjoy the episode!

Émilie Hammen was appointed director of Paris' fashion museum Palais Galliera in July, at just 40. In this episode, we unpacked the historic fashion season, talked about the interview process for her to get this big job (it involved a job interview with Paris mayor) and agreed on weird girls being cool. Massive thanks to the Parisian members' club WeAre for having us record the episode in its beautiful podcast studio. 

This week, my guest is a legend, the OG of fashion. Jean-Jacques Picart coached countless designers and worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. Having him on the show has been a dream of mine, especially on the eve of Paris Fashion Week. When I invited him, he said: “I’ll come, but only if we do it in person.” I told him I didn’t have the setup for that. His answer? “Find a way!” So I did. The Parisian members' club WeAre hosted us. And I couldn’t be more grateful. Jean-Jacques shared his thoughts on fashion today, candid as ever, and some pearls of wisdom for business and life. Enjoy listening (this episode is in French.)

From Oct 3–5, the Grand Palais transforms into a luxury playground. Les Deux Mains du Luxe by Comité Colbert is all about celebrating craftsmanship and finding the next generation of artisans. Bénédicte Épinay, who has been CEO of the French luxury association since 2020, speaks about the lack of petites mains, shares her view on the current turbulence in the luxury sector and tells us why luxury will remain a key driver of France’s soft power. (The episode is in French.)

The New York-based fashion designer Nili Lotan was in Paris this week so I HAD to record an episode of Sunday Night Live with her. She created her brand in 2003 and built a $100 million dollar business. The fashion maverick who doesn't do runway shows, talked about starting her brand in her late 40s, freedom, intuition, and how she came to fiercely protect her Sundays. 

On October 20, my guest on Sunday Night Live was Carolina Cucinelli. Carolina is vice president and co-creative director of Brunello Cucinelli, the Italian luxury brand known its top-quality products and eye-popping prices. At 33, she brings her soft and modern touch to the company created by her father in 1978. She talked about the medieval hamlet of Solomeo, the family business and the opening of a Casa Cucinelli in London next year. 

On July 7, Laure’s guest on her Instagram Live was Pierre de Maere, the 23-year-old Belgian singer whose career took off at lightning speed. Pierre and Laure talked about the Belgian new wave of artists, the role of fashion in his career and more. Big energy in this episode with many questions from the audience! Be sure to stay tuned until the end and find out why you should never lend your clothes to your boyfriend! Here’s Laure. Just a heads-up, the conversation is in French.
