How to Get the Best Jeans Online

Series Two

In this episode of The New Abnormal, I interviewed the Creative Director & Editorial Consultant, Navaz Batliwalla. 

A fashion journalist and stylist regularly contributing to international publications, Navaz is the author of 'The New Garconne' (which identified a new tribe of 'considered consumers'), the publisher of the renowned blog #Disneyrollergirl and co-founder of The Beauty Conversation. 

She's collaborated with a huge range of brands; recently including Agnes b, Chanel, Dior, Smythson, Turnbull & Asser, Levis's, Grenson and Shinola.
