Did you find that ‘style emergencies’ were more urgent here in Australia?
Jeannie: What I saw during my incredible stay in Australia, were really debutante, dressed to the nines’ Aussies. I did hear from locals, that if I ventured past the tourist area that I would be reminded of why I was there in the first place; for the worst of the worst dressed!
How willing are Australians to adopt fashion advice?
Jeannie: I can honestly say that it was Australians who asked me the key important words the most, “How Do I Look?”. Every Aussie, whether they were dressed casually or couture wanted to know what I thought. It was a constant reminder of how humble and gracious the country really is! The best part is how they don't take themselves too seriously. In my experience, Americans tend to take criticism on how they dress more personally.
How does Australian style differ from American style?
Jeannie: Australian style is much more loose, casual and comfortable. In America, style ranges depending on the region. In Los Angeles, you get specific styles of style; punk, boho, classic, grunge, In New York, you have bo-haut, couture, ‘Gossip Girl’ chic.
What did you love most about Australia in general, style or otherwise?
Jeannie: I loved all the Aussie’s personalities and their hospitality. Every person in Australia is like the weather; very sunny, warm and welcoming. Style definitely comes second, which reflected this personality.
What do you hope viewers get most from the Australian How Do I Look? episodes?
Jeannie: As an American, I hope they can see from Australia that style is supposed to be reflective of who you are. So often in America, I find women taking criticism of style so personally, when in Australia, they immediately saw and understood my critiques. In our episode, Bridget is a perfect example of someone who understood what I was saying and adapted the philosophy that style should reflect your personality.

ReplyDeleteHey there, I really liked the dress Jeannie has on during the big reveal! The black, backless dress with a flowy bottom. Would you be so kind to tell me who designed it and what's it called?
