    Sophie Lopez on Why Resilience is More Important than Talent

    One of the biggest stylists of the moment, Sophie Lopez, got her start in magazines after some very persistent letter writing. And her resiliency continued to pay off as she transitioned to a freelance styling role. She built a list of incredible clients—including Kate Hudson, whom she’s worked with for two decades—built her personal brand on social media, and recently stepped into a stylist role for Kate’s Isla Gordon on Netflix's Running Point season 2 (where a lot of Argent can be spotted). This week, Sophie takes us through the real story of building her career—the ups, downs, and the many times she ran before she could walk.  0:00 - Introduction3:20 - Biggest "Oh No" This Week4:06 - Colombian Meets British Culture 5:52 - Playing Dress Up & Styling Barbies 12:20 - A Foot in the Door at Conde Nast 16:31 - From Super Intern to Stylist 20:04 - Failure is Just a Lesson24:56 - The Business of Styling27:00 - Run Before You Can Walk28:17 - '00s Indie Bands and Kate Hudson33:42 - "Hideous" Fashion Regrets41:16 - When to Say Yes, and Confidence to Say No44:35 - From Resisting to Embracing Social Media49:17 - The Substantial Power of Personal Style50:22 - Running Point Season 255:44 - "Resilience is more important than talent"57:22 - Would You Rather On Sali: Argent Edgar Blazer, x Citizens of Humanity Ayla Baggy On Sophie: Argent Longsleeve Draped Dress Hosted by Sali Christeson @salichristeson Produced by Gina Marinelli @ginaalilbit Edited by Ryan Woldoff @c__biz Theme Song by Karina DePiano @sheplaysdepiano & Melanie Nyema @melanienyema Recorded at Podstream Studio @podstreamstudio
