How to Be Fabulous with Charlotte Dallison

This week’s guest is Dr. Stephanie Lake. Stephanie is the fifth scholar in the world to earn a Ph.D. in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture. Stephanie established herself as a decorative arts curator before opening her gorgeous jewellery design firm, Stephanie Lake Design. Her one of a kind jewellery designs are informed by her work as a curator, archivist and auction specialist. Towards the beginning of her career, while living in Manhattan, Stephanie became part of the four-person team that launched Sotheby’s Fashion Department. Together, with her scholarly work, this led to a friendship with the fashion designer Bonnie Cashin, now known as the "mother" of American sportswear. After forming this friendship Stephanie then went on to curate major retrospectives of Bonnie Cashin’s work in the US and Japan and then published the definitive biography of the designer with Rizzoli New York. Upon Bonnie Cashin’s death, Stephanie became Bonnie’s sole heir. With that she created a multi-million dollar network of philanthropic programs in Bonnie Cashin’s name, and owns Bonnie Cashin’s personal deign archive. The archive is among the most significant single-designer archives in existence today.

This week’s guest is Peta Mathias. Peta is a cooking teacher, author, speaker and entertainer, based between Auckland and France. She has authored 18 books, presented multiple television shows, and regularly hosts gastronomic tours in Morocco, the South of France, Spain, Italy and Portugal - now doesn’t that sound nice! She has received a New Zealand Order of Merit and is now considered to be a culinary and style icon in New Zealand. She recently published Shed Couture, a gorgeous book detailing the joys of connecting with clothes you've kept in your wardrobe for years, but perhaps haven't worn in a while. She also coined my favourite phrase, "Don't put all your eggs in one bastard." Today we will be chatting all things Shed Couture and vintage style with Peta.

This week’s guest is Rosie Cremer, aka Miss Rosie Rivette. Rosie is a Sydney-based artist and multi-hyphenate. She's a burlesque star, support work and art therapist in-training. She hosts a regular, body-positive, life-drawing class, Magnolia's, in which all participants strip off, breaking down the barriers between artist and model. Beyond this she also runs a gorgeous crocheted accessories brand, Rosie's Cosies, and is currently dabbling in stained glass window design! Not only this, but she is a dear friend of mine with fabulous style.

Natasha Lester is a New York Times best-selling author based in Perth, Western Australian. She once worked in the very fabulous role as a marketing executive for L’Oreal before doing an MA in creative writing and going on to pen and publish eight books (with the 9th on its way). If you’ve ever read any of her novels you’ll notice that fashion is often a theme, with many of her stories centring on fashion houses of yesteryear against the glamorous backdrop of Paris. When she’s not writing, she loves collecting vintage fashion, travelling, reading, practicing the art of fashion illustration as well as spending time with her three children. Her latest book, The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre, is out now internationally, and she’s soon set to release her ninth novel, The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, which you can pre-order in North America now.
