In one of the most inspirational and moving interviews you’ll ever hear, Mary Alice Stephenson, GLAM4GOOD Founder and the official “Mother Teresa of Fashion,” teams with Patrick Shaner, U.S. Communications Expansion Specialist at H&M, to give back to poverty-stricken children in Detroit. From the first question to the last, Mary Alice, a salt-of-the-earth person and part of the “Who’s Who” in the world-of-fashion passionately explains the genesis of GLAM4GOOD, the foundation’s mission, strategic collaboration with key fashion partners, and her special relationship with H&M. Listen as Mary Alice brings those in the studio to tears describing how GLAM4GOOD assists in providing clothing to a multitude of individuals in need from natural disaster survivors, injured veterans, and those caught in the cycle-of-poverty, to victims of domestic violence.

Mary Alice Stephenson gives a sparkling A-Z guide to her life and career from arriving in NYC and being hand-selected by Anna Wintour as a Vogue intern, to hosting events with Michelle Obama in the Whitehouse. Along the way her publishing credits include Fashion Director, editor, and stylist for Vogue, Allure, Marie Claire, Esquire, Seventeen, Oprah Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar. Then there are the years commenting on style, fashion and the red carpet for CNN, NBC, The Today Show and countless other shows. And yet if you follow her social media you’d think her entire life is devoted to helping people through her charity GLAM4GOOD. Whether it’s wounded veterans, women in difficult situations, or children benefiting from Make-a-Wish, Mary Alice always answers yes. And yet the last flood of messages she received were vicious hate mail after she failed to insult the first lady’s outfits on CNN. What a life. What a gal.
Mary Alice Stephenson is a world renown style and beauty expert who has styled hollywood's biggest stars and consulted for fashion and beauty's most influential brands. She is a humanitarian, a mom and an on-air personality and can be seen giving her fashion and beauty tips on the Today Show, Rachel Ray, Good Morning America, and Dr. O to name a few. As a fifteen-year-old fashion-obsessed teen in Birmingham, Michigan, Ms. Stephenson made a promise to her mother that she would one day be the fashion director at Harper’s Bazaar. Just 20 years later, Ms. Stephenson made her prophecy a reality. With a flick of the wrist, she commanded the powerpoint presentation to move on to the next slide, revealing a picture of her fifteen-year-old self complete with an over-permed mane and sparkly pink eyeshadow. “I was wearing a cowl neck,” chuckled Ms. Stephenson. “At least I got that right.” Ms. Stephenson is an equal mix of spirituality, fearless fashionista and humanitarian. As she told the audience about her rise to fashion’s elite, she sprinkled quotable lessons throughout. With unforgettable words passed on from her mentors, including Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele’s advice to “learn to turn shit into gold,” as well as personal steadfast rules–”say yes”–her seasoned career in fashion rings more like an anthem to the fashion girl than a self help book. Starting her fashion career as a Vogue assistant and later an assistant at Harper’s Bazaar, she worked her way up as an editor at Allure and Marie Claire before reaching her pinnacle: fashion director of Harper’s Bazaar. Styling iconic shoots with Hollywood heavyweights like Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Drew Barrymore, Ms. Stephenson’s talent for harnessing the power of bold imagery and her unshakable belief in the power of style earned her a place among fashion’s influencers. While waiting for a flight in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a large group of assembling cheerleaders caught her eye. Amidst the perky cheers of “Karen! Karen!” a small six-year-old girl “without a speck of hair” emerged through the cheer tunnel. This was the work of Make-A-Wish America; Karen was going to cheer camp. After witnessing this heartwarming scene, Ms. Stephenson began volunteering for the organization and eventually adopted the title of International Fashion Ambassador. Seeing fashion’s impactful results through Make-A-Wish inspired her next move in the fashion world. Glam4Good was born from a need to find a way to serve the world through her fashion expertise. The guerrilla endeavor, captained by Ms. Stephenson, partners with non-profits to bring style, beauty and attention to their platforms. Ms. Stephenson and her many dedicated volunteers travel the nation beautifying women of all walks of life: those who live in homeless shelters, veterans who returned home with major injuries, and poverty stricken high school students who want to feel beautiful at prom. “For so many years I was using my love of fashion to work with stars, but there are so many heroic women out there that are stars,” said Ms. Stephenson. “If they feel good about themselves, they are able to deal with situations better. It’s the healing power of a sequin.” With huge partnerships with Make-A-Wish, Suave, Naeem Khan and Michelle Obama, Glam4Good is now working towards increasing its influence abroad.
Unless you're a member of Doctors without Borders you probably have moments when you long for more meaning in your job. Here's the deal: it's not your job, it's what you do with it. Mary Alice Stephenson of Glam4Good shares how she's turned leaders in the fashion world into a bunch of do-good revolutionaries. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
