About the Episode:
In this episode, Lillian Shalom, the It Girl’s jewelry designer, shares how she carved out a lane all her own in the world of luxury accessories. From doing upholstery on the side to crafting her signature armor-inspired rings and other statement pieces for stars like Beyonce, Rihanna, Jenna Ortega and Kylie Jenner—Lilian walks us through the vision, craft, and confidence behind her rise. All it took was a bold aesthetic, mastering the intricate art of metalworking, and making smart money choices around mass production. Oh, Liliian also tells us that being a little delusional can be a good thing…it might even get the attention of Erykah Badu.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone building a creative brand from the ground up.
