It’s no surprise that The Frankie Shop isn’t Gaëlle's first rodeo. In fact, the store's Lower East Side flagship store in Manhattan was once home to her first fashion venture, Pixie Market, where she brought a similar assortment of reasonably priced items to a slightly younger demographic back in 2006.

As the trusted right hand of celebrity and James Beard Foundation Award–winning Chef David Chang for years, in 2019, at 30 years old, she was named CEO of Momofuku. On one hand, it all makes sense (after all, she was born into the family behind the specialty import emporium Zabars), but to Marguerite, the path was far from mapped out ahead of her. “I feel like anyone who grows up wanting to be a CEO is like a psychopath,” she tells Hillary on this week’s episode.

But before she was a bona fide fashion darling, she was trying to find her place like the rest of us. “I was really thinking that I was going to be a stylist.
