HBO’s Industry is back this week and we couldn’t be more excited! Myha’la Herrold joins senior editor Marley Marius and fashion writer Hannah Jackson on Vogue’s podcast to bring us up to speed on what her character Harper Stern is in for in season four.

“The end of season three is very much her being like, “I'm gonna be my own boss.” This is the time when she truly breaks away,” says Myha’la.

Each season of the show, Myha’la works with the showrunners Konrad Kay and Mickey Down to use Harper’s hair to tell a story of where the character is at in her life and this season is no different.

“She's at the top of her game and she's going harder than she's ever gone before. And I was like, well obviously it's gotta be the micro braids with the human hair,” says Myhala on her season four look. "It's gotta be the most expensive, probably the most high maintenance, the most difficult thing and the most elevated version of Harper.”

Great care went into creating Harper’s wardrobe this season as Costume Designer Laura K. Smith created a power suit to set the tone for the character. “We always trade boards like I was sending her pictures of Celine and YSL," reflects Myha’la.

“That first shot that we see Harper is in a gray three-piece suit. It is a custom designed and custom made suit by Laura for Harper,” says Myha’la. “[Laura] was like, I want this to be like the hero piece for her closet and for her to be able to mix and match.”

Myha’la takes a trip down memory lane and talks about fronting a Christian rock-band in high school and talks about her love of musicals and her dream role of playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on Broadway.

“I'm manifesting.” says Myha’la. “I sing everything but my favorite genre is definitely musical theater. If anyone is looking for a five foot one, available, black baddie who lives in New York, cast me!”
