Fresh off her first solo digital cover shoot for Vogue, Alex Consani joined Chloe Malle and Hannah Jackson on their podcast. She shared details about creating the story with photographer Ethan James Green and stylist Malina Joseph Gilchrist in a charming Brooklyn brownstone.
Beyond being one of Vogue’s December cover stars and a sought-after model, Alex is also navigating her first “adult” move into a Fort Greene brownstone—with a little help from her friend Paloma Elsesser. As Alex explains, years of saving, living frugally in New York, accepting leftovers from friends, and carrying lucky crystals in her Birkin all helped make this moment possible. She also discussed styling her parents for Vogue World: Hollywood, why she sometimes chooses not to use a stylist, and her tips for getting comfortable in heels.
Later, Chloe and Chioma break down British Vogue and Vogue US’s best-dressed lists, along with the major Met Gala co-chair announcement that came out this week.
