Fashion Career Lab

Today I have the pleasure to receive Habib GUABINTANI, my good friend and school mate, but also one of the youngest Dior Men Store Director on the 5th avenue in NYC.

Habib it’s an exemple of Integrity, Resilience and Work Ethic.

At 25, he set his mind and decided that he will become the Dior Men Store Director on the 5th avenue in NYC by 30 years old.

And guess what, he made it !

In this conversation, he not only tell us how he did it. He give us the blueprint on how to succeed in life.

His generosity and his storytelling skills made this episode quite special and one not to miss.

By the end you’ll learn:

• Why retail is the key to enter the fashion and luxury industry
• How leading by example, will help you gain the trust and respect of your teams
• The meaning of the expression “Getting out of your confort zone”

This episode specially resonate with me and my personal story.

Because like me, Habib is not an insider. He comes from immigrant parents, he had to study hard to get into the Institut Français de la Mode and we both started our career in retail. The main difference comes from our dreams and goals.

And you will see Habib’s dream are big, full of creativity and hope.

And with no further ado, please enjoy the American dream of Habib GUABINTANI.
