I am very excited to introduce you to Season 4 of my Style DNA podcast … launching today with none other than the Supermodel who is known (for good reason) as The Body…the exquisite, effortlessly chic and serene Elle Macpherson. Elle is not only a Supermodel, she is a Mother, Businesswoman, Television Host and an Actress. I loved our conversation …we discuss her personal style journey, growing up in Australia and not really being into fashion as she spent most of her time outside in nature. By her own admission she took a leap of faith into modelling as a way of making some pocket money while at University. The universe clearly had a different plan for her and before she knew it she was modelling New York, working with all the top fashion photographers and gracing the covers of all the major magazines. In 1989 Time magazine coined her nickname “The Body” after she had appeared on 3 successive Sports Illustrated covers…(with 2 more to come). At the tender age of 21 she married the famous French photographer Giles Bensimon (20 years her senior) in a glorious and avant guard Azzedine Alaia couture gown. She is open about how it felt to effectively grow up in front of the lens whilst being styled to be endless different women… and working out her own personal style when she was not in front of the lens… She tells me about the 180 degree shift in perception…when she first started in the modelling world, the more distanced you were from your audience, the more iconic you were and the more successful you were… and how today, the closer you are to your community, the more accessible you are, the more successful you are…and navigating those changes. Not to mention being on the covers of magazines still at 60… We chat about the challenge of staying stylish as the years creep by and how staying true to your essence is one of the most powerful style statements we can make… her thoughts are considered, eloquent and thought provoking. Elle's beauty is undeniable but it is far more than skin deep … she has been on a wellness journey, inspired by turning 50 and “hitting a wall” and not being able to rely on genetics any longer…she says she didn't recognise herself anymore. Her personal journey led her to the creation of her highly acclaimed WelleCo brand of “clean, plant-based elixirs & boosters backed by science, driven by nature”. She is the embodiment of beauty coming from within… and it was a great privilege that she shared so much with me in this episode.
Remembering Azzedine Alaia, The Giant Of Design Azzedine Alaia, the Tunisian-French couturier, is known all over the globe for his incredible creations worn by stars and VIPs of all sorts. The “perfectionist“ received many awards and medals for accomplishments throughout his career, some of which he refused because the only decorations he liked were those […]

Carine Holties is a supermodel from the 80's who is best known for walking the runways for Donna Karen, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Azzedine Alaia and more. Listen to Dr. Allie and Bridget Malcolm in conversation with Carine Holties as they speak on her modeling career and her career trajectory after modeling, and two specific mental health topics: skin-picking and marijuana abuse both which served as means to cope with anxiety and stress during her early years. Carine was scouted in Amsterdam in her teens and eventually came to New York City where her modeling career took off. She graced the covers of magazine such as Harpers, Cosmopolitan and Vogue. In her late 20's she decided to leave her modeling career behind and move back to the Netherlands. Since then she has embarked on a career as a news anchor, she became a mother and is now an artist and ceramicist. She is most proud of graduating from the esteemed Rietveld Art Academy at age 50, raising two incredible daughters, and trusting the universe.

LET'S JIVE!IT'S EPISODE 55!!Hello 80%-er! My guest this week is artist and fashion designer Helen Cody. There is little Helen has not done is her extraordinary life. From landing at Vogue, Paris straight out of NCAD to working for the late fashion legend Azzedine Alaia, her story is dazzling and a lesson in hope and perseverance. Helen has rubbed sequinned shoulders with all the supermodels including Naomi and Helena, set up shop in New York, been spotted by Sarah Jessica Parker, dressed Saoirse Ronan and Amy Huberman and at 14 was Ireland's roller disco skating champion. I failed to confirm this fact but it would be nice to imagine it's true!Helen finished her final chemo for breast cancer last month and she spoke about her experience on the Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy recently.There's no place to go but up from the Late Late which is why Helen chose to chat to me next (I kid, I kid). October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so go and watch Helen talk to Ryan here about her story https://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/the-late-late-show-68/10948801/ and go and check your boobs if you have them! https://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/testing/types/self_examHelen makes the most beautiful pieces of wearable art and if you want to get your hands on a piece of magic, she is holding an archive sale in her Harold's Cross studio on Saturday (13th October) between 10am and 5pm. Her dresses are ideal for popping into Centra for some milk and a chicken fillet roll. See www.helencody.com for some glorious inspiration.

You probably know about ROLAND MOURET’s famous "Galaxy" dress. Fitted, flattering, cap-sleeved and much-copied, it was a phenomenon in the 2000s, worn by everyone from Beyoncé and Scarlett Johansson to Demi Moore and Victoria Beckham. You might also know about another of his glamorous clients, Megan Markle, who wore a chic navy Roland Mouret dress the day before her wedding to Prince Harry. What is less well-know is the designer’s strong interest in sustainability. He's thought deeply about this subject, and questioned everything around it, from how and why he makes things, and how that has evolved, to the impacts of over-consumption, the power of fashion to communicate a message and how we can make sustainability hot—and not just hot right now. We doubt there's anyone better placed to contextualise fashion’s perpetuation of addictive desire than Roland Mouret. His design magic lies in making women feel amazing in his clothes. He says a dress doesn't come alive until a woman wears it. This thought-provoking, winding conversation takes us through his life, from rural French butcher's son, to modelling for Jean Paul Gaultier and Yohji Yamamoto, to him tearing up the dance floor at legendary Paris fashion hangout Le Palace. These days, he finds his balance by escaping to the country. “I never thought I would go for that life,” he says. Recorded in Roland’s head office in Mayfair, with Dave the dog in tow, we discuss change, reflection, maturing, and the idea that sustainability is now, as he puts it, “so present a problem that we have to face it.” Follow Clare on Instagram and Twitter @mrspress Love the podcast?
