A fourth-generation entrepreneur and an iconic Canadian brand, Gillian Stein tells us what it takes to be the fourth generation to continue Henry's success and speaks out about mental illness.
It's clear that people truly do like a physical shopping experience. The important part is embracing both. The digital experience is a really important part of the customer shopping journey. So you need to make sure that you're digital. But you also have to be physical, and for Henry's the key is: what's the value proposition?
We have setup the Henry's Foundation in support of mental health. Our healthcare system is really not set up for mental health care. It's a real challenge right now. When it comes to mental health, talk to somebody. The most important thing is to start talking.

If you ask Lara Smith what led her to create Lusomé, she would tell you it was partly circumstantial, partly destiny.
She kicked off her 20-year career at two of the biggest fashion houses in the world - Ralph Lauren and Gucci - and quickly worked her way up as a senior executive at some of Canada’s largest retailers. There, she traveled the globe to discover and create innovative apparel solutions that would make a difference in the lives of consumers.
But it wasn’t until Lara watched her sister battle with breast cancer and the uncomfortable, long-term side effects that resulted from her treatments that she set out to find the most important solution of all - a solution to preventing overheating and night sweats in the clothing that is meant to make us feel beautiful. Lara looked throughout North America and Europe for a sleep brand with beautiful style and fabrics, but they were using 100% polyester and chemicals in the finishing process. Not to mention, their cooling technology never truly worked.
That’s when Lara decided to create her own solution, one that fuses beauty, comfort and science. Her vision came to life through Lusomé, a new pajama brand that promotes the health and sleep of its wearers through first-of-its-kind technology that stops night sweats before it starts.
