Freelance set designer and creative director of Behind The Glass London, young British female entrepreneur Sabrina Lee Hammon talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about her career at the November 2016 Mindshare Huddle networking event in London.A visual storyteller with a natural eye for design and composition, Sabrina has used her passion for installations, fashion and film to deliver eye-catching in-store displays, window installations and brand dinners for clients such as Soho House Group, Burberry, Triumph, Selfridges, Paul Smith, Ugg, Topshop, Urban Decay and Harvey Nichols to name but a few. Encouraged by a tutor, Sabrina initially focused on set design for her degree in performance design and practice at Central Saint Martins. After graduation, she assisted the renowned set designer Shona Heath and freelanced on in-store displays at Liberty and Selfridges. Eventually, her father suggested that she take the plunge and start up her own set design company, Behind The Glass London, focusing on fashion retail. When it came to landing her first big client for Behind The Glass London, Sabrina took a typically creative approach, handing out her CV to London’s biggest department stores in the form of a Viewfinder filled with images of projects she had worked on! Her gamble paid off and she secured an assignment at Harvey Nichols working on headpieces for an installation in the designer fashion department. And the rest is history… Here’s Sabrina’s big idea.

My Big Idea #79 – How to set up a visual merchandising company

Kicking off her career in publishing at the cult art website and magazine It’s Nice That, journalist Liv Siddall talks to ASOS Magazine’s junior writer Georgia Murray. Starting out by writing on her favourite zines, comics, books, exhibitions and art, Liv found her voice through highlighting the creative objects and people she found fascinating, and now she is the contributing editor of feminist literary magazine, Riposte (N.B. check out our podcast with Riposte’s editor Danielle Pender for My Big Idea during London Fashion Week). Alongside her role at Riposte, Liv was asked to develop legendary record shop Rough Trade’s very first print magazine to mark its 40th anniversary this year. In conjunction with her friend, designer Bruce Usher, Liv has created a space which both invites and cherishes the relationships between fans and music, and that reflects the aesthetic and vibe of the Rough Trade shops. Think collages, disposable cameras, tour diaries and dialogues about music that mirror the chats you have with your mates down the pub. Here, Liv talks about the pressure to live up to the Rough Trade name, how the most important people in the magazine are the shops’ staff, and how there’s no excuse not to create something you love.

Twenty-something nail art pro and product designer Emma Zentner talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about how she has built her reputation as one of London’s most in-demand nail artists with Boom Nails and how she’s also transferred her design skills to launch Boom Things, making beautifully decorated mobile phone covers. Londoner Emma’s nail art career started off as a hobby during her graphic design degree at Bristol UWE. Inspired by the success of WAH Nails and the sudden explosion in nail art, Emma started experimenting, then dreaming up and creating designs for her friends and other students. After graduation, Emma founded Boom Nails in 2011, which took off through word-of-mouth and industry recommendation. Boom Nails creates hand-painted nail art – specialising in intricate, bespoke designs – for magazines, individuals, corporate clients, events and products. Emma has worked with clients including Tate Modern, adidas, Urban Outfitters, Virgin Media, Boots, Boohoo, o2, Victoria Miro Gallery and Smashbox, and her handiwork has featured in publications such as Grazia, i-D online and Garage. Keen to deploy her talents elsewhere, Emma launched Boom Things in 2014 as she wanted to design products, too, such as mobile phone cases (now available at ASOS). With ambitions to expand her product range into homewares and stationery, Emma’s dream collaboration would be with Liberty to create wallpapers for the iconic department store. Here’s Emma’s big idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My Big Idea #76 – How to set up an independent media collective

Brazilian-born stylist and journalist Thais Mendes talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about how she’s shaking up the modelling scene in her homeland with Squad Agency, her street-casting agency that’s based in São Paulo, but which she co-manages from London. Living and working in London for 13 years, Thais wanted to take the growing concept that she saw in the UK of casting charismatic, talented, attractive but non-traditional models, and introduce it to Brazil, where the industry is still dominated by a narrow, sometimes surgically enhanced, conventionally European aesthetic. Thais started Squad Agency in November 2015 – with her friend and associate Patricia Veneziano – out of a desire to reflect the real, 21st-century diversity of Brazil and highlight the talents of young creative people, with the aim of casting them for brands, fashion campaigns and social media activations. Thais’ mission seems to be paying off, as she has now cast models for campaigns by Dove, adidas, Pop magazine, i-D and Converse. This is even more impressive given that Squad Agency has yet to launch its own website (due in early 2017), but instead finds new faces on Instagram, including artists, skaters, DJs and singers, all of whom have their own unique style, personality and attitude, as well as good looks and sizeable social media followings. In addition to scouting more models, Thais is hoping to develop Squad Agency into Squad Network, a creative collective that develops collaborations, projects and brand partnerships in all areas of fashion and advertising. Here’s Thais’ big idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My Big Idea #75 – How to set up a street-casting agency

Creator of healthy breakfast range Qnola, young British female entrepreneur Danielle Copperman talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about how she’s gone from modelling (at ASOS, no less!) to wowing the food industry with her super-nutritious quinoa-based granola. And, at the age of just 23, Danielle has managed to get Qnola stocked at the likes of Waitrose and Selfridges, while still maintaining a successful modelling career.Originally hoping to study nutrition at university, Danielle needed a science A-level. As a result, she taught herself a biology A-level, viewing her studies as a back-up if modelling didn’t work out. In fact, Danielle gained regular bookings – frequently at ASOS – so she didn’t go to university, but instead has since studied for a diploma in nutrition, alongside writing a food blog, modelmangetout.com. Having eliminated gluten from her diet, Qnola was born out of Danielle’s desire to fuel up on a quick-but-healthy gluten-free granola as she went from model casting to model casting.Initially testing out recipes with family, her fellow models and Instagram followers, they inspired Danielle to develop Qnola as a product. Qnola was first launched in 2014 at fellow My Big Idea interviewee Lily Simpson’s Detox Kitchen deli, and the product soon drew an impressive following, as well as the attention of retailers such as Waitrose. With a projected turnover of £300k this year, Danielle is hoping to grow the Qnola team, and is looking for international stockists, notably in the US, as well as keeping up with her modelling career. Here’s Danielle’s big idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Founding director of social enterprise Do Nation, young British female entrepreneur Hermione Taylor talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about how her online platform is inspiring people and companies to make pledges to change their behaviour or start campaigns for the good of the environment.The seeds of the Do Nation concept were first planted back in 2009 when, after getting an MA in Environmental Technology, Hermione decided to cycle from London to Morocco as a personal challenge. Instead of looking to raise money, she asked people to donate simple, sustainable actions to sponsor her trip – such as cycling to work or eating less meat. These donations saved the equivalent of an impressive 84 flights’ worth of CO2 emissions, which inspired her to eventually set up Do Nation.Since then, over 10,000 people have made nearly 19,500 pledges on Do Nation supporting other people’s challenges, and Hermione herself has even given a TED talk on why small actions can help to tackle climate change, using her life-changing adventure to Morocco as an example. Initially a platform for individuals to make pledges, Do Nation has attracted the interest of the corporate world. Today, their clients include popular food and drink brand Innocent and the electronics giant Siemens.Hermione is looking to get even more people and organisations involved with Do Nation and inspire the next generation of leaders focusing on issues of sustainability.   Here’s Hermione’s big idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Becky Tong

Twenty-something British female entrepreneur Becky Tong talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about her London-based music company Juicebox, a business that encompasses music curation, artist management, press and radio promotion, and even has its own record label. Becky didn’t go down the usual route of university, instead preferring to explore her passion for music by starting out as an intern at Sony Records at the age of 18. She spent three years at the label, picking up valuable experience of developing artists and promoting them. Last year, Becky decided to strike out and launch Juicebox with her business partner Adam Callan.  Becky’s role at Juicebox involves bringing new artists into the business, so she’s constantly online, and always on the lookout for fresh, original talent. Her involvement in music isn’t just limited to management and promotion; she keeps her hand in by DJ-ing for fashion parties and club nights, something that’s come quite naturally to her (but that’s no big surprise given that her father is the legendary Pete Tong). With a roster of talent that includes up-and-coming DJ Joe Hertz, Becky is keen to expand Juicebox and sign more artists to the company’s record label – and maybe even persuade the likes of Solange to join their ranks… Here’s Becky’s big idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I managed to get hold of 40 meters and made my own dress', told Georgiana. After sporting the vintage style, Georgiana was put in touch with Pete and the two, sharing their love for the crinkly fabric, decided to re-launch the brand together. The four-month old brand has already racked up an impressive list of celebrity customers, including Clara Paget, Georgia May Jagger, Mary Charteris and Pandora Sykes. Hunza G has also been featured in W magazine, Vogue, Man Repeller, Style, Refinery 29 and Grazia.

Vicky Graham of Vicky's Donuts  - My Big Idea #27

In this week’s My Big Idea podcast, Lucinda Greasley talks to Daisy Payne and Leah Harwood-Gowen, the ladies behind the tastebud-melting raw cake company, The Hardihood. After meeting at a dinner party and simultaneously deciding to give up sugar in 2K14, the duo found that east London wasn't cutting the mustard for the sugar-free lifestyle they craved. Cue the birth of The Hardihood. Through multiple kitchen disasters and several tasting sessions, a selection of curated tasty goodness was born. With a book coming out in February 2017 and an extensive client list already at their fingertips, Hardihood confectionaries are the talk of the town (we’ve heard the sea salt and caramel raw cake is a winner). Here's Daisy and Leah’s Big Idea Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lerryn Whitfield

Welcome to the ASOS Podcast, My Big Idea. Episode 19's guest is South London's Lerryn Whitfield, Founder and Owner of Peckham's Lerryn's Cafe.Trying to find a way back to New York, following some good advice and encouragement from her friends, Lerryn decided to start her very own business and created much more than just a local Cafe. At the time of Leroy's creation, Lerryn was sleeping on a friends sofa with little money with which to start the business. Lerryn’s welcomed its first customers in April, exactly a month after Lerryn had purchased the former hair salon. She converted the space herself using DIY techniques and calling in favours from friends with very little money to fall back on. Lerryn's soon became an 'unpretentious café that attracts a broad mix from the local area, from young creatives to elderly couples'. Lerryn wanted the cafe to be 'as non-invasive as possible, to be accessible to everyone who walks along Rye Lane', contrasting to the surge in chichi cafes opening all around London. Lerryn's now acts as a cafe by day, bar by night and is increasingly popular with the residents of Peckham. Asos's Lucinda Greasley speaks to Lerryn about how she began Lerryn's, starting a business on a budget and how she plans to expand the cafe. This is Lerryn's big idea.  Hosted on Acast.
