A few weeks ago I was interviewed by the lovely Emma Lightbown, for her Off The Hanger Podcast, which was a lot of fun and a bit emotional! Can you tell I am getting into my podcasts lately?! This was released yesterday and you can listen via the way you usually get your podcasts or you can watch it on YouTube here. I chatted to Emma to get the lowdown on the podcast.
So tell me bit about your podcast?Off the Hanger is a weekly fashion podcast where guests share their favourite fashion pieces and the stories behind them. We chat about their childhood fashion memories, the piece that most sums them up and their biggest fashion faux pas. It’s a friendly, fashion chat hoping to inspire listeners & prove our clothes are more than just what we wear!What’s your background?I’ve worked in the fashion industry since I was 17, firstly as a model and now as a stylist and presenter. I’m obsessed with style, individuality & having a good chat, so Off the Hanger was the perfect excuse for a matter whilst rummaging through the guests wardrobes!Who have you interviewed?Whilst there had been a few well known faces on Off the Hanger, I wanted to explore a diverse range of guests. There’s been entrepreneurs, drag artists, models, presenters, designers, stylists, content creators & even a fabulous yoga teacher who lived in a van in the US so had perfected the art of a capsule wardrobe.Do you have a fave episode?This is such a tricky one to answer!! All the guests are so different - some of my favourites have been Artist and Print designer Jess Williams, Drag Queen Plastiq and Radio Presenter Chelsea Little.Who would be your dream podcast guest?
I'd love model / content creator Wisdom Kaye to be a guest - I stumbled across his Tiktok during lock down and adore his style & individuality. Also Janelle Monae, she always brings something unique to the red carpet so I’d love to see her everyday wardrobe too!
You said you have never answered your own questions! Well here is one of them from me(!)… “which item in your wardrobe most sums you up?”
I think other people would say a green dress - there are so many of them in my wardrobe, I’m forever drawn to them & love finding new shapes / styles! Would I agree that a green dress most sums me up? That would be telling! 😜
What's coming up next?
I’ve got my first ever duo with sisters Molly & Harriet the founders of sustainable home wear brand Secret Linen Store and fabulous stylist & fashion rental enthusiast Lisa Maynard-Atem.
