Ep. 227: Kara Alloway TALKS Fashion, Real Housewives & 'Most Hated'

It is a privilege to welcome TV personality, writer, and producer Kara Alloway to Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast!

After graduating from Canada’s McGill University, Kara was hired by Conde Nast’s ALLURE Magazine in Los Angeles. Under the tutelage of ALLURE founder Linda Wells, she worked as an assistant West Coast Editor. Kara quickly became known for her writing contributions, sharing her perspective on the fashion and beauty worlds with a journalistic approach and investigating the topics honestly and objectively.

Kara was recruited back to Canada and became editor-in-chief of INGEUNE Magazine, which under her direction, had the fastest growth in circulation in Canadian publication history for the teen target demographic. In addition, she also hosted a daily fashion and beauty radio show, wherein content included interviews with such icons as Stella McCartney, Laura Mercier, Phoebe Philo, Zac Posen, Diane Von Furstenberg, Bob Mackie, and Oscar de La Renta.

In 2017, Kara Alloway appeared on the Real Housewives of Toronto. She innately understood the workings of reality television content and carried the show, prompting several journalists reviewing the franchise to ask, “Without Kara, would there even be a show?” Upon completing work in front of the camera, she signed with Electus in Los Angeles to produce unscripted content. In 2019, Kara joined Hanger 56 Media in Los Angeles to continue her role as an executive producer.

On May 30, Kara Alloway will release her new book: Most Hated. The book follows three women who try to change their lives in the ruthless world of Reality TV through the hot docu-soap Talk of the Town. Most Hated received high praise from Real Housewives icons, including Jill Zarin, Kathy Hilton, and Vicki Gunvalson.

In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kara Alloway spoke about the lessons she learned from talking to fashion icons such as Bob Mackie, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Oscar de La Renta and previewed Most Hated.
