In our latest episode of ‘This is a Token’, Alex is joined virtually by fashion model, diversity campaigner and all-round icon of the British Fashion scene, the wonderful Erin O’Connor MBE. In a lively and uplifting discussion, Erin talks Alex through her favourite pieces of jewellery, many she has acquired on her travels around the world with her work since she was spotted at 19 years old!

Listen in as Alex & Erin (with an appearance from Alex’s daughter and podcast co-producer Connie) talk about the overt sexualisation of young women in the public eye, the strength of character that comes from forever being in and out of fashion, and adorably, how in the hands of her youngest son Eddie, her Alex Monroe ‘Peace’ necklace will forever be her ‘Pizza’ necklace!
