Sally Lyndley Tells It Like It Is In New Fashion Series for Look TV

Fashionista contributor, blogger, and stylist extraordinaire Sally Lyndley has a new gig: The former model and industry veteran, who has styled for the likes of LOVE and US Vogue, is the new fashion editor at Look TV.

Hew new shows for the channel are basically everything we had hoped the new House of Style would be: Honest, hilarious, with more than a tinge of ’90s nostalgia.

We caught up with Lyndley to chat about her new gig, waving her “fashion freak flag” high and why fashion people are so damn reluctant to actually tell the truth.
