Interview With Fashion Designer Jamie Lewin

Hey there, fashion fans! Perhaps you are wondering how a fashion designer navigates the ever-evolving currents of the fashion industry to create lasting impact and success?

Perfect, because today, we’re diving into the vibrant world of fashion with none other than the fabulous Jamie Lewin. 😎

Picture this: a whirlwind journey from FIT in NYC to the dazzling summits of design leadership, Jamie’s story is a masterpiece woven with threads of hard work, creativity, and a sprinkle of sheer brilliance. 😊🌟💫

She started as an intern and ascended the fashion ladder like a boss. Jamie has gathered accolades faster than a toddler collects stickers. 😉🏆

That reminds me of a long-lost era when I roamed the earth as a sticker aficionado. 🦕✨

Oh, the joy of peeling those sticky treasures off their backing, arranging them in albums, or displaying them proudly on my bedroom wall. 😍🎨🖼️

I admit, I somewhat twisted the truth. If you knew my dad, but perhaps none of you had the pleasure of knowing him. 😜🤷‍♂️

However, had you known him, you’d understand that adorning the walls with stickers was not an option. 😄🚫

Now then, back to our heroine, Jamie. Oh my, did I just call Jamie that? 😳😁

Well, she’s not just a fashion designer; she’s the ninja of the fashion industry, crafting multi-billion dollar global brands with the finesse of a maestro. 🎨👗

You had better hold on to your shiny, glittery hats, folks (if you own such fabulous accessory), because Jamie’s adventures don’t stop there! 🎩💫

Jamie has traveled the world seeking inspiration, from busy cities to peaceful retreats. 😌🌍✈️

Now let me tell you, she finds it! While working with celebrities and influencers, Jamie’s designs shine like a Hollywood premiere. ✨🌟

Now grab your imaginary popcorn. It’s ok to grab some fresh made from my popcorn maker. Let’s discover what makes this fashion maven tick! 😍🍿

What is your name, function, and the company you work for?  

Jamie Lewin, Fashion Designer & Creative Director and Founder of Fashion & Lifestyle Magazine VETTED.  

Most recently, I was the Senior Women’s Design Director at Gap and the Head of Women’s & Kid’s Design at Outerknown.  Right now I am also consulting for several large brands in NYC providing product design, trend forecasting, and creative direction.  

How old are you?

44

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I’m a fashion designer, creating seasonal collections for different brands. My designs have been in Net-A-Porter, J. Crew, Gap, Piperlime, Ralph Lauren, and Outerknown to name some of them. 

I also founded a digital, shoppable magazine called VETTED, which is a curated fashion & lifestyle guide. Crafting articles and edits for people to read and shop along with is something I love to do. I also feature other inspirational women who are forging their own paths in the fashion & lifestyle space and love to amplify their stories.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer?

My grandmother was a fashion designer and my grandfather was a master tailor so I grew up around fashion.  I didn’t know it was what I wanted to do until freshman year of college when I took a course called Environment, Textiles, and Design and became hooked.  It has become a lifelong passion!

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

To me, fashion is the way people express themselves and show the world who they are, whether intentional or unintentional. 

It is also where art, design, and functionality intersect and, as a designer, I love the challenge of constantly keeping things fresh and relevant, and creating new styles that people want to wear.  

Picture provided by Jamie Lewin

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I went to school for fashion and then worked my way up. I think it’s important to start at the ground level and not skip any steps. The learning, the connections, the experiences are all so important to one’s success. And to be honest, it’s fun!  

I’ve worked hard and have been lucky to have a lot of success in my career, but I’m always looking for the next challenge and the next accomplishment. Just finding what I love to do and being able to make it my life is the biggest reward.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’d love to continue building VETTED and have so many ideas for it in the future. I’d love to collaborate with other brands, cover events, and branch out into travel guides as I absolutely love to travel.  The sky’s the limit!

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?

Brand names are not the only important thing to me, although there are brands I love for their designs and quality. To me, these three things are the reason for buying anything: Do you love the design? Is it made well? Will it last? 

My mantra is fewer, bigger, better. I’d rather spend more money on one really significant piece than the same amount on a few poor quality items.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

I would say Parisian meets LA. I’m always put together, but also have a more relaxed attitude about what I’m wearing. I really like a balance of masculine & feminine so there is a bit of an edge or tension in the look, and I like to mix staples with trends and play with proportion.  

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I’ve always been a denim girl, love to wear short dresses, and historically have worn a lot of black. That was probably the New Yorker in me! 

I dress for my personality and body shape and always want to feel confident in what I’m wearing. My style has evolved a bit as I’ve gotten older, but the core principles have remained the same. 

Picture provided by Jamie Lewin

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

People always ask me for suggestions on everything from the best t-shirts to bags to dresses for events. I get a lot of messages from friends, and on IG, telling me they bought what I was wearing or are checking out a brand I suggested. 

I love being able to help people find things they love! Also, obviously, designing for huge brands like Gap has an influence on what lots of people are buying and wearing.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I love that there is such a wide range of pant & denim shapes at the moment because there is literally something for everyone. It went from only skinny to now being wide leg, pleated, flare, straight, long, cropped etc. It’s just nice to finally have different proportions to play with. And I personally love wearing cargo jeans right now as well.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

There isn’t necessarily one particular trend that I don’t like, but I feel that because of social media everyone is dressing alike or atleast following the same inspiration. It’s nice to have some individuality, to play around with things, and have fun with fashion.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

To always be yourself and dress in what makes you feel like the best version of yourself.

Who is your style icon, and why?

I love Pernille Teisbaek who is a stylist turned influencer. She’s got such grand style, not only for herself but for her clients, her kids, and her home.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

I would love for people to visit VETTED and to follow along on Instagram or Tik Tok @vettedmag. I curate beautiful images, show how to style high and low price points together and where to shop for the most exciting pieces.  Basically, I’m scrolling and creating an edit so you don’t have to!  I welcome any feedback and love to meet new people through the platforms so please say hello!

How To Clip-in Hair Extensions With Short Hair: Irresistible Me - Hair Styling Transformations

Hey there, my beautiful readers! Ever wondered what in the world clip-in hair extensions are all about? Ah, maybe you’ve pondered the mysteries of hair styling and ended up more tangled than Rapunzel’s locks? 

Picture by Seadbeady

Well, gather ‘round, because we’re about to unravel the secrets of these hair wonders that Irresistibleme sent me in exchange for my honest opinion! 🕵️‍♂️

Now first, let’s talk about the hair struggle, shall we? Raise your hand if you’ve ever tried to grow your hair out, only to chicken out and chop it off the moment it reached shoulder length. 🙋😏

Guilty as charged, am I right? It’s like a never-ending battle between the dream of flowing locks and the reality of convenience (and maybe a bit of laziness, too). 💇‍♀️😴

I’ve tried to grow my hair out a zillion times. Okay, maybe not quite that many, but it sure feels like it! 🌱🤔

Every time it gets a little longer, I felt like a hot mess express and end up reaching for the scissors faster than you can say, “bad hair day”. 😞🚂✂️

Nope, you won’t catch me wielding scissors near my hair. That’s a recipe for disaster! Things would get chaotic, guaranteed. 🌪️😱

Instead, I’d be booking an appointment with my hairdresser Speedier than a curling iron heating on a Monday morning! 💇‍♀️💨

My opinion on the clip in hair extensions

I figured, why not give clip-in extensions a whirl? It's like peering into the crystal ball of my hair styling future! Who knows, maybe long hair is my destiny after all? 🔮💁‍♀️

You know, with extensions, I'm about as clueless as a goldfish in a hair salon. I mean, I didn't have a single strand of knowledge about them. 🤷‍♂️🐠

Picture this: I'm trying to slide these things into my hair, and they're just playing slip and slide down to the floor with every move I make. 🎢🤦‍♀️😵

Picture by Seadbeady

It was like a scene from a bad slapstick comedy! Then, lo-and-behold, I stumble upon this YouTube video where I hear this unmistakable "click." And that's when it hit me like a ton of hairspray cans. 🙈🙈

Clip-in hair extensions are called clip-ins for a reason! You've got to pop open those tiny combs and give 'em a proper clip onto your noggin. Who knew hair could come with an instruction manual? 📖💡😂

Picture by Seadbeady

To be truthful, this is not the right color for me, but since they sent them to me in return for a blog post, I didn't find it right to send them back. 😔🤷‍♂️

On top of that my hair styling at the back is not perfect. This creates an extra difference in nuance because my hair is not completely dry. 😕😔

Remember, though, that you only have to check out the "try me" section at the bottom of the cannister to see if it's a perfect color match for your hair. If it's not the right match, you can send them back. 🎨🔄😍

Picture by Seadbeady

I am still uncertain if long hair is the thing for me. I think the ponytail in my hair is better than having it loose, but give me a comment and tell me what you think. 🔍🤔

If you're more into the "my-hair-is-trying-to-stage-a-rebellion" (Messy Bun) kind of look, hop on over to my last blog post all about Irresistible Me!

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

The Biggest Instagram Strategy Mistakes - Instagram Help Tips

Hi There, my dear readers. Are you desperately seeking Instagram help? Does the mere mention of "Instagram strategy" send shivers down your spine? 


Picture made by Seadbeady with AI tool

If yes, I welcome you, on a fun journey. We’ll wonder through the fascinating world of social media blunders. 😬📱

Today, we embark on an amusing exploration of the do’s and don’ts of Instagram. Each post made spins a tale. Every filter conceals an endless number of missteps. 👍🚫🎭

As we navigate this landscape, it’s crucial to tread lightly. We would not want to fall prey to the temptations of becoming a digital sinner. 😇😈📱

Now, imagine this: like me, it probably took you a fair share of horrible selfies before you captured that perfect one. 🤳😬

You know the feeling? The lighting is on point, the angle just so, and your smile is brighter than a supernova. 📸😁

You’re ready to share your masterpiece with the world, but hold your horses! Before you hit that ‘post’ button, let’s take a moment to  explore the land of Insta-fails. 🐎✋🔍

A path through the treacherous terrain of over-sharing enthusiasts, hashtag aficionados (I have to admit, I’m guilty of this one), and filter fiends. 😨😱

From the cozy confines of your screen, we’ll uncover the keys to Instagram strategy triumphs. Not without indulging in a laugh or two. 😄😄

Beware, though, dear readers, as we navigate this comedic journey. Be mindful not to laugh too loud. You could risk choking on your laughter. 😂🔇

I wouldn’t want to bear that burden on my conscience, nor would I want my readers to be tempted to hold this against me. 🤐📚

Now then, grab your salted potato sticks (they are to die for), snuggle up with your phone, and prepare to giggle at the amusing mishaps awaiting us. 🍟📱😄

Instagram Strategy nr 1. - The Oversharer Extraordinaire:

Ah, yes, we all have that one friend who treats their Instagram like a personal diary, documenting every waking moment from their morning coffee to their evening cat yoga sessions. 

Picture this: a grid flooded with mundane snapshots of daily life, where even the simplest activities are given the spotlight. 

Remember, folks, Instagram isn't your therapist's couch. While sharing bits of your life can be endearing, spare us the play-by-play unless you're inviting us to brunch! 

After all, nobody wants to scroll through a feed filled with TMI moments. It's important to recognize that oversharing can dilute the impact of truly meaningful moments, leaving your audience feeling overwhelmed and disconnected.

Instagram Strategy nr. 2 - The Hashtag Hulk:

Imagine a serene beach sunset, a picturesque moment worthy of admiration. But alas, it's overshadowed by a barrage of hashtags that could rival the Encyclopedia Britannica. #Blessed #SunsetLover #BeachLife #InstaGood #NoFilterNeeded. 

Slow down there, chief! While hashtags are indeed a powerful tool for discovery, less is more when it comes to flooding your caption with them. 

Instead, opt for a handful of relevant hashtags that enhance your post's visibility without making you look like a desperate spammer. Remember, excessive hashtagging can clutter your caption and detract from the message you're trying to convey.

Instagram Strategy nr. 3 - The Filter Fiend:

Filters, oh filters, the magical touch that can transform an ordinary selfie into a work of art. Beware, though, dear Instagrammers, for too much of a good thing can turn your photo into a Picasso nightmare. 

We've all seen it—the sparkle overload, the puppy ears that seem a tad too realistic. Remember, your followers signed up to see your face, not an alien doppelgänger. 

Embrace your natural beauty, and let the filters take a well-deserved vacation every now and then. It's essential to strike a balance between enhancing your photos and maintaining authenticity, as over-filtering can distort reality and erode trust with your audience.

Instagram Strategy nr. 4 - The Food Photographer Gone Rogue:

Ah, the culinary connoisseur who turns every meal into a photo shoot worthy of a Michelin star. Congratulations on crafting such a masterpiece! 

Still, before you dive into that avocado toast like it's the last supper, consider this: nobody wants to see a close-up of your half-eaten meal. While food photography can be enticing, keep it tasteful (pun intended). 

Snap a quick pic for posterity, then put down the phone and savor the flavor. It's important to remember that not every meal warrants a photo op, and bombarding your followers with endless food shots can lead to viewer fatigue and disinterest.

Instagram Strategy nr. 5 - The Follow-Unfollow Bandit:

Ah, the oldest trick in the book—the follow-unfollow game played by social media ninjas in the night. You follow someone, wait for them to follow back, then promptly unfollow them as if nothing ever happened. But newsflash: we're onto you! Building genuine connections beats playing mind games any day. So be a friend, not a frenemy, and cultivate a community based on authenticity rather than numbers. Engaging in deceptive tactics like follow-unfollow undermines trust and damages your reputation as a credible and reliable presence on Instagram.

Instagram Strategy nr. 6 - The Caption Catastrophe:

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but that doesn't mean you should write a novel in your caption. Keep it short, sweet, and to the point. 

Avoid cryptic messages that require a decoder ring to decipher. After all, ain't nobody got time for that! Your caption should complement your photo, not overshadow it. 

Let your picture speak for itself, and sprinkle your caption with just enough charm to leave your followers smiling. Lengthy and convoluted captions can overwhelm your audience and detract from the visual impact of your post, so it's important to strike a balance between engaging storytelling and concise communication.

In conclusion

Dear readers, remember that Instagram is a platform for sharing moments, not a competition for who can curate the most perfect life. 

Embrace your quirks, laugh at your mishaps, and above all, keep it real. Happy gramming, and may your feed be forever free of Insta-fails!
