As a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning and host of The Atelier with Alina Cho at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Alina Cho is always at the very center of the fashion conversation. Now, Cho is lending her stiletto-sharp skills to co-produce a Netflix documentary on the life of Martha Stewart. “I’ve also just launched a newsletter called Cho & Tell in partnership with Bulletin, Facebook’s new platform for independent writers,” she shares. We rang the dialed-in doyenne for her stylish scoop.
