With Daphne’s one-year anniversary landing the day after Tribeca X, Paige DeSorbo joins us for a conversation on building a fashion brand in real time. Best known for turning personal style, cultural fluency, and audience trust into a growing platform, Paige has expanded from media personality and podcast host to entrepreneur, launching Daphne as a fashion-forward loungewear brand rooted in authenticity and wearability. From designing pieces inspired by gaps in her own closet to building a business alongside a rapidly expanding entertainment career, including an upcoming Netflix comedy with Amy Poehler, Paige shares what it takes to build a brand with staying power rather than chase trends.
