“It's all about following my taste and intuition. I don't care about anyone else or what people would think.” How do you find the courage to leave the brand of your dream to follow your own passion?
SUMMARY
In this episode of the Gloneration Podcast, host Simona Lodolo sits down with Félicie Corre, founder of Chinoises, to chat about her inspiring journey from working at Hermès to becoming an entrepreneur.
Félicie’s story is full of charm and passion. Growing up in Paris, surrounded by fashion, she had incredible experiences early on—like modeling for Oliviero Toscani, one of Italy’s most iconic and provocative fashion photographers. From there, she carved out an impressive career in the Hermès' press department, first in Paris and later in Shanghai, before deciding to take a leap and launch her own lifestyle brand, Chinoises by Voayageuses.
In this open and heartfelt interview, Félicie reflects on the brave choices she’s made along the way and her deep love of travel, which has fueled her global adventure.
She also takes us deep into her time living in China, sharing how the local culture and craftmanship influenced her brand, the challenges of starting her own business, and the recognition she's received for her work with Chinese minorities and artisans.
The interview also explores the themes of adaptability in a global career and the importance of following your passion.
