From Soho House to star designer: Vicky Charles's charmed career
As a young woman, Vicky Charles chanced into a job as a waitress at what was then London’s newest, coolest private club, Soho House. As it grew and expanded internationally, Vicky grew with it, eventually becoming the company’s design director and helping to shape its signature look. In 2016 she left to open an independent firm with partner Julia Corden—the two have enjoyed sparkling success and earned a spot on the AD100.
On this episode of the podcast, Charles speaks with host Dennis Scully about what it was like to have George and Amal Clooney as her first residential clients, why slow periods can help strengthen a firm, and why the perfect apprenticeship for aspiring designers might just be working behind a bar.
