Jennifer Zuccarini, Founder of Fleur du Mal: Building Community In A Niche Industry, Pitching to Investors, Why Entrepreneurship Is Never Linear, and More
On today’s episode, I’m chatting with founder and luxury lingerie designer, Jennifer Zuccarini. What I found fascinating about my conversation with Jennifer is her ability to not only scope the opportunities in the fashion industry but also in her career journey. In 2012, Jennifer founded Fleur du Mal, a luxury lingerie brand - although her entrepreneurial journey did not start there. Before Fleur du Mal, she co-founded Kiki de Montparnasse, her first luxury intimacy brand that became a cult favorite. Later, in 2008, she left the company to join Victoria Secret as a design director. Career journeys (entrepreneurship especially) aren’t always a linear path and Jennifer gets all into this today. We also spill the tea on lessons learned from investor pitching, building community in a niche space, disrupting the lingerie market and so much more.
