Fashion Reverie Talks is designed as the 30-minute, bi-weekly series to complement the digital content on the FashionReverie.com website. Each edition contains a wrap of the last two weeks’ most talked about fashion news, as well as segments in the wheelhouse of the show’s talented co-hosts, Cicily Daniels (actress), Tijana Ibrahimovic (celebrity style expert), and Carl Ayers (runway regular and managing editor, fashionreverie.com). The show was conceived of as twice monthly stop on the fashion express to catch up on all of the major happenings in the world of fashion by Editor-in-Chief of FashionReverie.com, William S. Gooch III. Watching “Fashion Reverie Talks” is the equivalent of a 30-minute class in what’s happening in fashion over last two weeks. The talent of the hosting panel will add perspective to the inside story lines that are already the hallmark of the parent website.
