#62: Catsuits, Turbans, and Expressing Your Individuality Through Fashion with Alice Edgeley

Many of us are scared to put ourselves out there and put on crazy, playful, eye-catching clothes. No one teaches us how to develop our sense of style, and it is hard to stop giving a shit about what other people think. This week’s guest is a fashion designer who is often seen in turbans and brightly-colored catsuits, and what other people think is the last thing on her mind. For Alice Edgeley, fashion is about making “ugly” fabrics impossibly beautiful. Fashion is about refusing to hide who you are and being comfortable and confident in your skin.

Born in Australia, Alice dropped out of high school and started an apprenticeship with a costume company. She worked in costuming for 15 years, and then she took the plunge and moved to London. Her perseverance helped her find a job at the studio of celebrated fashion designer Christopher Kane. Alice pushes the boundaries in every aspect of her life. She doesn’t follow fashion trends. Instead, she focuses on the feelings attached to every color and pattern. Her refusal to be ignored by anyone, and her willingness to work as hard and as long as necessary, has carried her far. With her catsuits, turbans, and waist-belts, Alice is making clothes that surpass any strict definitions of femininity and beauty.

Join us for a conversation about challenging the status quo, being willing to sweep the floors, and experimenting to find what makes you happy. Alice will share how she worked her way through the fashion industry and created a successful label. She will also recommend:

• 2 apps for organizing your projects and your money
• 5 people and publications to follow to expand your definitions of femininity and women’s fashion
• 3 books by women who are excellent role models in fashion and creativity
