Helene Clarkson
In this episode we meet someone who turned travel frustrations into fashion innovation — Helene Clarkson, the founder and creative force behind the Canadian travel apparel brand heleneclarkson.
Helene's journey is anything but ordinary. A seasoned actress who spent years traveling the world for work and pleasure, Helene realized there was a serious gap in the market: stylish, wrinkle-resistant, multi-purpose clothing that worked just as well in a business meeting as it did at an elegant dinner — all designed to fit into a carry-on.
That insight sparked a big idea. In 2014, she launched her own clothing line, and what began with pop-up shops in Toronto has since grown into a global brand.
In this episode, Helene opens up about what it really takes to build a clothing line from the ground up — the wins, the stumbles, and the surprising lessons she learned along the way. Whether you're dreaming of launching your own fashion label or simply curious about how great ideas are born and brought to life, this episode is for you.
