From Into The Gloss to Contrapposto with Nick Axelrod-Welk

If you've ever admired someone's bathroom shelf, there's a good chance Nick Axelrod had something to do with it. Few people have shaped the way we shop for beauty and self-care quite like Nick has.

We talk about Nick's early days at WWD and Elle, where he sharpened the eye that would define his career, and starting Into The Gloss with Emily Weiss, the site that turned peeking into people's medicine cabinets into the beauty bible of a generation. From there, we get into the companies Nick has founded, including Nécessaire, the brand that convinced everyone body care deserved the same attention as their face, and Homecourt, plus what it really takes to go from writing about products to making them.

And then, the real reason Nick is here: his new brand, Contrapposto. We talk about why he's starting something new after everything he's built, what the name means to him, and what he's doing differently this time.

Plus, Nick's Bests: the things he can't stop recommending right now.
