Alison’s Style Story – Episode 4

Now that we have discussed the key pillars of my fashion philosophy, it’s time to get to the heart of the show… We’re going to dive into women’s real-life style stories. We’ll talk about the traumas and triumphs that have shaped our sense of self and relationship with our closets.

This is an extremely honest and vulnerable kind of conversation, and I think it’s only fair that I kick us off by sharing my own style story. 

In this episode, we dive deep into my style story, including…

• My personal style role models and influences
• The impact that my high school experience had on my sense of style and self
• The influence of my best friend on my style journey
• Real life pictures of my style evolution through the years
• And much, much more!
