Kicking off our fourth series, we are so excited to welcome Jo Ellison to Desert Island Dress. Jo Ellison, as many of you will know, is the editor of HTSI/ How to Spend It at the Financial Times, and formerly Fashion Editor at the Financial Times and Features Editor at Vogue. Having Jo spend time in the “hot seat,” as Katrina would call it, was a dream come true, and we really hope she enjoyed the conversation as much as we did. We were particularly delighted to learn how influential Ireland and Irish culture have been for Jo — from her early teenage crushes, through her first journalistic job in Cork at the Cork Examiner, cutting her teeth as an apprentice, to spending the last 30 years in domestic bliss with a previous guest and friend of Desert Island Dress, Irish playwright Enda Walsh! What a fabulous guest to kick off the series! We absolutely loved chatting with Jo, and we left the conversation as total fangirls of the one and only Jo Ellison. Enjoy this episode! 🎨 This series features hand-drawn sketches of each of our guests by artist Louise Boughton @louiseboughton_✨ Stay connected with Desert Island Dress:📸 Instagram: @desert_island_dress🌐 Website: www.desertislanddress.com ⭐ Don’t forget to follow, rate & review the podcast — it really helps more people find us. 💌 And if you're enjoying Desert Island Dress, please do share your favourite episode with a friend!
