STYLE DIARIES | With former VOGUE staffer Alyson Lowe

[@FashionStyleEdit]

I'm SO excited to launch today's video, I couldn't wait to show you all! So as the title would suggest today I am launching a new series for my channel, Style Diaries. A chance for me to interview people I hugely admire in the fashion industry and delve into their love of fashion over the years. It's been a long time coming, so I'm filled full of nervous excitement to finally get it out there! But Alyson was the perfect guest to begin and I absolutely loved hearing all the stories about fashion:) A huge thank you to Alyson for being my first guest and a HUGE thank you to you for watching! More than anything I hope you really enjoy the chit chat and find it inspiring for fine tuning your own personal style:) I'm really looking forward to hearing from you all in the comments, big hugs, Jess:)

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Oooo great idea Jess, looking forward to it xx 😘

[@FashionStyleEdit]

@@Anna-Anna53 Aww thank you so much Anna I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@kuenoklee543]

I really appreciate your videos not only for the obvious thoughtfulness you put into it - but also for how you make fashion seem so approachable for those of us who are a bit more fashion naive.

[@ayshaahmed546]

Love this! I love the way you let her talk and facilitate her flow, it makes it an easy listen. Looking forward to many more

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Thank you Aysha, I really appreciate that. It was important to me that it's all about my guest, not me. I love interviewing people and I'm genuinely fascinated by their stories, so I'm really pleased that comes across:)

[@TheMarsha06]

I was just thinking today about how women need to know their own style, I think you read my mind❤️

[@FashionStyleEdit]

So glad the video resonated with you, knowing your own style makes getting dressed each morning so much easier doesn't it:) Thanks for watching lovely

[@marianneperren2401]

Jess what a truly great interview. You have such a charming interview style with your guest Alyson (who is lovely too). Well done and I look forward to future interviews.

[@FashionStyleEdit]

You've made my day writing that! Thank you so so much Maria, I really appreciate your kind words and I'm thrilled you enjoyed watching:) Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, enjoy that sunshine!

[@Debbie-kt6ck]

Congratulations Jess you’re a natural at this, quite a surprise to see this but a good one, I love vintage, my favourite piece is a coat that belonged to my lovely much missed very stylish mum x

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Thank you so much Debbie, so glad you enjoyed the video:) Something a little bit different for me that I thought you'd all enjoy! Love the sound of your coat, so many special memories I'm sure, my leather jacket of my Mum's would be the only item of clothes I'd save in a fire! Have a wonderful start to the week Debbie and thanks again for your lovely feedback x

[@karenthompson3947]

This is such a wonderful conversation. I’m glad that I finally got around to watching all of it. I highly recommend giving this a listen. Thank you for sharing the video!

[@samarmorsi]

She’s so relatable & more podcasts please it’s amazing & the questions are on point 👏🏻❤️

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Isn't she, we really clicked when we met at an event once so I thought she'd be wonderful for my first interview. I could have happily sat there all day listening to her stories!:)

[@samarmorsi]

@@FashionStyleEdit you did great & loved her def a lovely person with relatable stories, personally I have an exact similar story like hers where I ended up the youngest Cleo magazine mideast editor in chief 15 years ago 😇 forward to more ipodcasts with genuinely interesting people ❤️❤️❤️

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Oh wow that's amazing! Is that Cleo magazine in Australia? Or am I getting mixed up with my magazines:/

[@jeanmaddison2362]

Ahhh we never saw the shoes. What a fabulous interview

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Haha I forgot to add a clip😮 It was a wee bit stressful with some technical issues on the footage so i totally forgot a couple of pictures we'd planned to put on screen:/ I'll have to ask Alyson to share a story of them so you can all see;)

[@deborahjoyce591]

Enjoyable interview to watch. Excited for your new series. You did a great job interviewing.

[@jonormand8194]

Hi Jess, thx for this very nice video! The link of the jeans you were wearing is not working it’s COS but we don’t see which one perhaps you can send it again? Also, which shoes you were wearing? Did you add the shoes of Alyson? I don’t see them 😮 thx 🙏 ❤

[@debraenston4164]

Fabulous! Well done you. You are a natural. Polite, well informed, asking everything we want to know. Such a fascinating interview. I have shared this with lots of friends who I know will be equally interested! Again well done you! X

[@FashionStyleEdit]

That's so kind of you to share Debra thank you, I really do appreciate that:) And I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed watching this as much as I did filming it. Big hugs lovely and hope you're having a wonderful week so far:)

[@alebarragana]

Very very nice interview, thank you so much, both. I would love to see those shoes you talked about 😂

[@FashionStyleEdit]

So glad you enjoyed it:) Might have to get a pic off Alyson and show you all another time, in all the excitement I completely forgot to take a shot tbh🤣 x

[@ms.schnapp7415]

Great interview! Jess, you're a natural and a pro. Also, love the slightly different makeup look today. Refreshing and chic♥

[@FashionStyleEdit]

I really appreciate that thank you 🙏 Not sure what I did with my makeup or whether I’d just caught the sun a bit:) It was a really hot day in London so I arrived about an hour too early and sat in the sunshine while I waited! A lovely day all round:)

[@lorraineallen9297]

Congratulations Jess this is brilliant well done I really enjoyed the interview 🤩 Alyson was so interesting xxx

[@acminkus]

Wow! Really great interview. You seem to be “in your element”. Natural, engaging, with a great sense of flow. And you clearly have “a knack” in creating a great space to converse with your interviewee. Bravo!

Thank you,thank you, thank you- fashion is so wonderful💝💐💐

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Aww thank you for watching 🙏 So glad you enjoyed it 😘

[@borg1964]

What a wonderful video and I love your sense of humour. No more Croqs once you’re nappy trained😂I fully agree on going quality over quantity and do I spot my favorite Chlo blouse from Sézane on you? My three style words are classic, minimal and mariner😊And Sézane do the wrapping so well, it’s like unpacking a present. Have a lovely Sunday🫶🏻

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Hello Ingeborg, lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for watching:) Haha the crocs thing made me laugh a lot, he's still really into them unfortunately, it's a 'thing' apparently and a style choice I don't think I'll ever understand! Love your style words, that sums up me pretty much too:) And chlo blouse all the way! That's the best piece ever isn't it, such a classic! Have a wonderful start to the week lovely, big hugs, Jess:)

[@debrarozich2456]

L💗ve this new series. You were an excellent interviewer And as always so sweet , knowable, and beautiful inside and out. xo, Cowgirl Deb

[@debbiefinn1534]

Love to see the trousers she has on. They look quite cool

[@zhannapyasetska2864]

I didn’t see Prada shoes.. was it on video?

[@suzyg309]

Great interview - relaxed and fun. Ps what jeans are you wearing 😊

[@FashionStyleEdit]

So glad you enjoyed it Suzy, thank you so much for letting me know:) I'm wearing Cos jeans, was very flattered Alyson liked them! I've added a link in the description box if you need it:)

[@esmeralda42]

Brilliant interview🥰😍 Which Brand is the jeans?

[@FashionStyleEdit]

They’re from Cos hun, I’ve added a link in the description box if you need it 😘

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Afternoon Jess, you really shine in this field Brilliant xx 😘

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Thank you lovely, I really enjoyed filming this so I'm chuffed to bits everyone seems to have enjoyed it:) You know me, I can chat about fashion all day long! Have a great week lovely:)

[@BellesoChic]

Oh my goodness, Tammy Girl! I had some great pieces from them 😅 Really enjoying this, girls! ❤

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Haha it was THE place to go! And getting your first bra from Tammy Girl was such a growing up 'moment'!

[@marycunningham3516]

So what happened to the picture of the shoea?

[@nikkisue1715]

This was incredible, Jess. Love this interview format. Looking forward to seeing more. I wish I could have seen the shoes Alyson was wearing. In my younger years I would go for heels, but now at 67, I prefer flats. Haven't considered buying vintage, but now I am curious to see what is out there! Thanks Jess.

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Thank you so much Diane:) I forgot to film the shoes, doh! I'll have to ask Ayson to pop a little clip of them on a short maybe! So happy you enjoyed the video lovely, such a pleasure to hear all Alyson's fashion stories:) For vintage finds Alyson gave me a couple of links so I've added those into the description box if you want to take a look. Big hugs lovely and thank you again for letting me know you enjoyed it:)

[@karenoconnell]

Congratulations Jess! This was very entertaining and informative. Love getting exposed to innovative people in the industry. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@FashionStyleEdit]

​@@karenoconnell Aww thank you so much Karen:) I must admit I just loved creating this one, I find it fascinating listening to people's stories about fashion. All the why's of what we pick, how we style it and the memories it brings! I could listen to people all day on my favourite subject! Who would you love to see me interview next out of interest? x

[@karenoconnell]

@@FashionStyleEdit Would love to hear from the founder of Sezane! 🥰

[@FashionStyleEdit]

That would be amazing 👌🏻

[@nikkikirn98]

Morning Jess, I loved this! What an incredible woman! Love that she’s a fan of vintage too. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday hun. Take care, hugs as always xx

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Isn't she amazing! I just loved filming this and listening to all her stories:) I'd had this idea for a series for a while so I'm so glad to get started with it, no time like the present hey!

[@nikkikirn98]

@@FashionStyleEdit she really is! I found it really interesting to hear about the analytical side too, I haven’t really thought of fashion in that way. 2 out of 3 of my boys brains work this way whereas mine doesn’t haha 😂 It’s a brilliant idea for a series Jess, really interesting. I’m looking forward to who else you’ll be speaking with xx

[@FashionStyleEdit]

​@@nikkikirn98 Haha yes, I am not a 'Mathalete' either! Far from it:/

[@lorihaley2292]

You look much younger! Wow. Enjoy.

[@beautyforumbyangela]

Hello 👋🏽 my friend Jess, I love this surprise video. Ms. Lowe is an incredible woman. I appreciate her candor and sharing her story with your audience. This video reminded me of being a young girl and getting into fashion about 6 1/2 and really started putting outfits together. This was very refreshing. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Good morning gorgeous, I'm so so pleased to hear you enjoyed today's video:) Isn't it fascinating! I LOVED hearing all Alyson's stories, I could have sat there listening all day! Out of interest what was your first memory of being aware of fashion? Big hugs lovely:)

[@beautyforumbyangela]

@@FashionStyleEdit I am a child of the 1980’s (born in 1971). I was about 8 years old and was gifted a Gloria Vanderbilt turquoise cable knit sweater with a match corduroy skirt. My Mom purchased me matching shoes and a matching purse. I wore that outfit to death. I loved how it made me feel and I always received kind compliments. Thank you 😊 for asking and allowing me to relive that memory . Cheers 😉🌷

[@FashionStyleEdit]

@@beautyforumbyangela Haha love it! Isn't it funny we can all remember that first fashion moment and it can have such an effect on us!! Do you still have any of the pieces?

[@beautyforumbyangela]

@@FashionStyleEdit I know, right. No, I do not have any of my favorite outfits from my younger days, but I have great outfits now that I so enjoy wearing, because of you my friend. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷

[@florbelaribeiro3992]

Congratulations. And may I ask if you did something to your face (fillers, botox?), seems your face is plumper.. If so, can you do some video about that, I'd like to have your opinion. Thanks

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Thank you:) No fillers or botox in my cheeks, though I did have that microneedling exosome facial and I've been using the led light therapy mask and I think the combo has definitely made a difference! Or maybe I've just put on weight? Either way very happy to have a bit of a glow for once:)

[@froodoftheforest]

Not including the cut away to her Prada shoes you BOTH cooed over for 10 minutes was SO FRUSTRATING!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?!?!

[@FashionStyleEdit]

Well firstly I'm sorry I simply forgot, it's really not that deep. But secondly, this is a podcast video and Alyson and I both describe her shoes in full. I will ask if Alyson can pop a picture on her own insta stories to share with everyone:)
