  • In which fashion PR expert Natalie Lewis discusses her hilarious debut novel, Don’t Believe The Hype
    May 3 2023

     

     

    This week Natalie Lewis joins me to discuss her career as a PR fashion expert, how and why she wrote her debut novel Don’t Believe The Hype, and the books everyone should read.  

     

    Natalie Lewis is a fashion PR expert and has worked with Net-a-Porter, Jimmy Choo, and Diane von Furstenburg. After selling her agency in 2007, Natalie consulted on a freelance basis with a range of high-profile clients, including Bella Freud, Robbie Williams and Claudia Schiffer. In 2008 she was engaged by Victoria Beckham to help launch her fashion brand and worked closely with her for twelve years, until June 2020 when Natalie took a sabbatical from the fashion world to write Don't Believe the Hype

     

    About Don’t Believe The Hype

     

    The world of fashion is supposed to be glamorous . . . isn't it?

    Meet Frankie Marks: the world's least likely fashion PR. She got the job by fluke, she doesn't know the first thing about designers, she's always hungry, and she struggles to think before she speaks. When Frankie crash-lands in the prestigious GGC agency, her friends and family can't believe it - least of all her long-term (and long-suffering) boyfriend, James.

    Frankie quickly realises she needs to use everything she's got to survive life behind the scenes of this glamorous and chaotic industry - with its eccentric characters, towering expectations, and ridiculous requests. But first, she needs to learn the difference between velour and velvet . . .

    As the pressure builds and Frankie's personal life begins to take the hit, she starts to wonder if she'll ever manage to escape the strange world of fashion unscathed. And, quite frankly, does she even want to?
