The Gentleman‘s Journal Podcast

In this special episode of the Gentleman's Journal Podcast we sit down with Daisy Knatchbull and Harry Jarman to discuss the launch of Kultura — a new magazine about pioneering women redefining success on their own terms. The entrepreneurs talk about how the venture first came about; the struggle of coming up with a name; why Lauren Hutton, at the age of 81; was the best possible first cover star; and why it’s always worth paying more for shoes.

The co-founder of the wine investment giant talks earliest wine memories, investment-grade riesling, and the enduring power of Burgundy.

 

 

Among a slew of high-profile luxury e-commerce casualties, Mytheresa has enjoyed remarkable and sustained success — a trajectory that has been masterminded, in no small part, by the company's affable CEO, Michael Kliger.

Here, in a special recording at Huntsman on Savile Row, Kliger reveals the secrets of his success — and his predictions for the future of luxury.
