Passport to Everywhere with Melissa Biggs Bradley

Aug 17 2023 • 51 mins

Fashion Designer and Entrepreneur Liz Lange revolutionized maternity fashion in the 1990s when she founded Liz Lange Maternity. She’s now the CEO and Creative Director of Figue, a women’s luxury label, where she’s working to breathe new life into the lifestyle brand, which describes itself as having a ‘global nomad-meets-jet-set’ spirit. In today’s episode, Liz shares her journey – from changing the mindset around maternity clothing to her work transforming Figue. She reveals fascinating stories about her high-profile family (which is further detailed in her true crimes podcast, Just Enough Family), including her early travels in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. She explores the relationship between fashion and travel and shares her favorite shops around the world from Paris and Milan to Tokyo. Plus, Melissa and Liz discuss her iconic and historic home, Grey Gardens, in the Hamptons and how she remodeled it alongside renowned Interior Designer, Jonathan Adler, who is also her dear friend.
