Stuart Vevers on Creativity

COACH
About this episode

“Creativity is using your imagination to create something new—it’s really about dreaming.” 

Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers talks finding creative inspiration, navigating a career in fashion, and the origin of Rexy, the Coach mascot. He shares his thoughts on collaboration, and why he believes it’s important for creativity. “At its best, collaboration stretches your boundaries,” he says. “It forces you to see things in a different way.” 

 

This episode also features a special conversation between Coach collaborators Satchel Lee and Jackson Lee about inspiration, their dreams for the future, and “Words Matter,” a film they co-wrote and directed for Coach with their father, Spike Lee.
