## Resource

Gabriela Hearst is one of the most purpose-driven designers in fashion. She’s built her career slowly, intentionally, and entirely on her own terms. You may know her for dressing icons like Laura Dern, Jodie Foster, and Zoë Kravitz, or for redefining luxury through sustainability, from the first carbon-neutral runway show to creating a line made from 100% recycled cotton. But her story begins on a cattle ranch in Uruguay, where quality, durability, and respect for the land shaped everything she does today. In this conversation, Maria and Gabriela discuss the reality of the creative journey, why success rarely comes fast, how a chance elevator encounter with a design legend changed her life, and what it takes to stay grounded in an industry built on hype. She also shares how she approaches biohacking to maintain her mind and body in one of the most demanding industries in the world. All that and more on this episode of Pretty Tough.
