Karla Welch<\/strong><\/a> was once told style can open doors.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very, very strategic. Anybody who works with me knows we\u2019re very strategic in what we get achieved. There\u2019s the total joy of dressing and having so much fun with it, but there\u2019s also a goal, especially for women, [on] how we project ourselves. I only want women to be how they want to be, to be honest,\u201d Welch told Vanity Fair<\/em> in 2021.<\/p>\n Whether she\u2019s styling Tracee Ellis Ross<\/strong> in eye-catching silhouettes, defining Sarah Paulson\u2019s<\/strong> edgy-yet-feminine aesthetic, outfitting former vice president Kamala Harris<\/strong> in expertly tailored suiting, or donning the perfect pair of jeans herself, her fashion prowess is undeniable. She\u2019s led a MasterClass<\/a> on owning your personal style; started her own brand of elevated T-shirts, xKarla<\/a>; cofounded Wishi<\/a>, an app offering a personalized styling experience; and was named The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2019s most powerful stylist in 2017\u2014but clothing isn\u2019t the only thing she\u2019s concerned about making covetable.<\/p>\n In 2020, impelled by her struggle to find accommodating period care for her own child facing early adolescence\u2014an experience Welch also endured\u2014she cofounded The Period Company<\/a> with Sasha Markova.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI am a creative, and I know what I want, and I\u2019m never going to call myself a designer designer. Like I could never live in that category because designers are my rock stars, like Marc Jacobs<\/strong> or Mrs. Prada,<\/strong>\u201d she said. \u201cBut I definitely know, and saw that there was a space for people with my level of expertise and really knowing what the market wanted. Like I have always been my own inspiration. I am my own muse,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Since the brand\u2019s founding, Welch has coupled her influence in the fashion sphere with her own experiences to revolutionize period care by offering sustainable and safe period underwear for every body, championing a new way of thinking about menstruation.<\/p>\n Below, Welch shares the things that keep her in motion from a well-worn loafer to Adrienne Maree Brown\u2019s<\/strong> Emergent Strategy<\/em>.<\/p>\n Armani\/Priv\u00e9<\/p>\n Rose D’Arabie, 100ml<\/p>\n $330<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Armani Beauty<\/span>Buy Now<\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>
