Conversations with Cam The Personal Journey of Defining Your Style with Stylist Allison Bornstein
In this episode, I sit down with stylist, closet therapist, and wardrobe specialist Allison Bornstein to talk about all things style and the emotional significance of what we wear. We discuss the identity shift that comes with motherhood and how style fits into that, Allison’s wild and experimental fashion sense as a child, and how both of our mothers have influenced our style journeys to this day. Allison takes us through her coined “three word method” and defines my three words, she explains why it’s okay to look and dress like you care, and we discuss how closet clean-outs and the kind of work she does is deeply therapeutic and personal.
