The Evolution of a Family Business

Subscribe to Throwing Fits on Substack.

Our interview with Lori Hirshleifer is family business. Lori—owner and womenswear buyer of Hirshleifers—was kind enough to grant us an audience at her family’s namesake store on Long Island for a regal chat on her iconic jewelry game, a bond with the Starks that’s stronger than Chrome, if she had second thoughts about getting fitted for the pod, the definitive take on men’s bling, her actual day-to-day job and what kind of saleswoman she is, what sets Hirshleifers apart from the pack and above the fray as the last great department store, inheriting and adapting the family business with her sisters, the trust of working with family and necessary time apart, how many Birkins she owns, the one grail she’s still tracking down, her most insane Chrome Hearts accessories, navigating social media and unwittingly becoming a style icon, shopping as a skill, VIP clientele and going fit for fit with any rapper in the world, cherished memories of her relationship with Virgil Abloh, how she gets dressed, her personal style icons, collecting art, avoiding trends completely, her husband and son running the men’s business and much more on Lori Hirshleifer’s interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.
