086 Laure Guilbault: France’s Die Hard Fashion Journalist

In this episode, I sit down with Laure Guilbault, the Paris Correspondent for Vogue Business. Laure is a diehard fashion journalist. She worked at WWD for five years, became Business of Fashion’s first Paris correspondent, and is now the Paris Correspondent for Vogue Business. She doesn’t just report on fashion – she dissects it. From the C-suites of luxury maisons to the atelier floors of emerging designers, her journalism captures the pulse of an industry in flux. Laure brings a uniquely European lens to her reporting – precise, considered, and always ahead of the curve. She understands not just the aesthetic ambitions of fashion, but the structural realities that shape its billion-dollar future. During the pandemic, she took her love of the industry to new heights when she launched her Sunday Night Live interviews on Instagram. Each Sunday at 6pm, she goes live on the platform to interview leaders and creatives in the fashion and luxury space. It has become a weekly rendez-vous for industry insiders looking for real, uncensored, and unedited conversations about the current state of play in a world that is constantly reinventing itself. In our conversation, we discuss the paradigm shift that fashion is in the midst of facing, how she honed her interview style, and who she has always dreamt of interviewing… and of course, whether or not she would recommend becoming a fashion journalist in the age of AI.
