Rey Vakili - from Yale graduate to Anna Wintour’s assistant

How do you go from studying political science at Yale University to landing a job as assistant to Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour? Rey Vakili was on track to becoming a lawyer but a chance encounter and a ‘say yes’ attitude led to her to living the Devil Wears Prada dream! She's now the Managing Director of LTK Australia, the largest influencer marketing platform in the world, that allows content creators to monetise their content through shoppable links, global collaborations and their LTK Shop. Host Elle Ferguson talks to Rey about how being an assistant let her see every aspect of the fashion industry and its influence on everything, why LTK are a pioneer in the creator economy and why any time you feel like you want to quit you should just work harder!
