ost widely recognized as the co-host of TLC’s What Not To Wear, Stacy London is not only a fashion icon and guru, but also what I might call, a “fashion philosopher.” With a philosophy degree from Vassar, where she wrote her senior thesis on the concept of self, drawing from Nietzsche, Thomas Mann and Herman Broch, to landing a job as a fashion editorial assistant at Vogue right out of college, London has a firm grasp on the importance of self-expression, personal style and identity.
