Summary

Lexi's FAVORITE shoes come from talented designer Maria Gangemi, this week's guest. Learn Maria's best business tips, how she gets through challenges, and what excites her most about her booming business of Italian luxuries! As a young girl growing up in Sicily, Maria Gangemi was equally captivated by its open-air fish and farmers markets and refined cuisine as she was by the handmade shoes displayed in boutiques’ windows. It was the artisans behind the shoes, however, that kept her attention. Over the following three decades, Maria pursued a career spanning across the realms of creative and merchandising—becoming the fashion director for footwear and accessories at the original Fliene’s, the creative director of two growing shoe companies, SVP of European Luxury for a leading online retailer, and more. Still, something always brought her back to the Italian artisans from her childhood. Find Everyone: M.
