Embrace the process of learning – especially at rock shows

Watch the Vogue Forces of Fashion session presented in partnership with Porsche, featuring stylist and entrepreneur Karla Welch in conversation with Vogue's Senior Fashion and Culture Editor Janelle Okwodu. They talk about mentorship, reinvention and taking the bold leap into new careers to follow dreams and her personal drive.

Be open! I go to a rock show, and I get my ideas. You get a little lost in other artists’ processes. And that’s where a lot of good ideas come from.
