In this episode, Lisa Gillbe personal stylist sits down with Chamiah Dewey, founder of Dewey, the extra petite clothing brand making waves, and Riccardo Sai, Head of Stories. ‘Petite’ is typically defined as 5ft 3" and under, but as Chamiah and Riccardo reveal, finding stylish, well-fitting clothes becomes even tougher if you’re 5ft or under. Most shops simply don’t cater for you—and shopping the kids’ section can feel demoralising and limiting. Dewey is changing all that, with chic day-to-day pieces and an exciting launch of their new denim line—specifically tailored for the extra petite frame. Chamiah and Riccardo explain the creative journey behind the brand and their commitment to fit, empowerment, and style for an underserved demographic. Hear the inside story on Dewey’s recent campaign with two high-profile guests: Paralympian Ellie Simmonds and Strictly Come Dancing pro Jowita, both under 5ft and passionate about redefining what women under average height can expect from fashion. Their stories of frustration—and Dewey’s mission—shine a spotlight on why representation matters in the petite fashion world. Tune in to discover: Why standard petite sizing rarely goes far enough How Dewey’s designs help women feel confident and seen More about the new denim launch and upcoming collection The brand’s inspiring campaign and celebrity advocates If you’re tired of squeezing into children’s clothing, yearning for grown-up style and fit, or just curious about the innovative world of petite fashion, this episode is a must-listen!   Find Dewey clothing here: https://www.deweyclothing.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor3o9Am1QHUlVh1bqAbxZQ5uQeRi2qGndYWJj5hNrvyITTY8nw7   Follow Lisa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/?hl=en   #petitefashion #fashionpodcast #thestylestoriespodcast  

Welcome to this episode dedicated to style clarity for the new season! Today we’re exploring why knowing your style is the foundation for dressing with confidence, how to decode your style personality, and practical ways to prep your wardrobe for Autumn/Winter 2025. Why Finding Your Style Matters Building a wardrobe centered on your authentic style saves time, money, and stress—making daily dressing easier and more creative. When you know your style personality, you’ll shop more intentionally and avoid chasing trends that don’t feel like “you”. Style empowers you to express your identity, wants, and vibe—whether that means embracing bold colours, tailored pieces, or something unexpected. Key Steps to Defining Your Personal Style Audit your wardrobe and call out what you love: keep only pieces that make you feel great. Create a moodboard or lookbook of outfit inspiration—notice patterns in colours, shapes, and brands you’re drawn to. Ignore “rules”: Style is personal, so experiment until you discover what feels authentic. Shop with intention; invest in versatile basics but layer in statement finds that feel uniquely right for your lifestyle. Autumn/Winter 2025 Trends Breakdown Chaotic layering is a top trend: Think mixed prints, clashing textures, and a playful “undone” vibe. Tailoring & sleek shapes: Structured vests, wide-leg trousers, and midi skirts define this season’s everyday elegance. Animal prints go beyond leopard—expect cowhide, Dalmatian, and faux fur details for statement coats and accessories. Earthy tones take the lead—mocha, burgundy, suede, and even touches of red hot for striking accents. Quiet luxury evolves into ‘maximalism’: bold colours, expressive patterns, and statement accessories help you make a style impact. Key essentials: Wide leg trousers, knitwear, classic boots, tailored coats, versatile layering pieces.

Show Notes In this episode of the Style Stories podcast, host Lisa Gillbe Personal Stylist speaks with Danielle from My Circular Wardrobe about the booming pre-loved clothing market and the importance of sustainability in fashion. They discuss the stigma surrounding secondhand clothing, the evolution of personal style, and the benefits of shopping pre-loved. Danielle shares her journey in establishing her business and how it aims to make secondhand shopping a luxurious and enjoyable experience. The conversation emphasizes the need for a shift in mindset towards sustainable fashion and the value of unique, curated pieces. Takeaways The pre-worn fashion stylist market is currently worth £100 billion and growing. Sustainability and unique style are driving the secondhand clothing trend. My Circular Wardrobe was founded to make secondhand shopping luxurious and affordable. There is a significant stigma attached to buying secondhand clothing. The mindset around secondhand fashion has shifted towards sustainability awareness. Charity shops only keep about 10% of the stock they receive. Many people have unworn clothes with tags still on them in their wardrobes. Experimenting with personal style is essential for self-expression. It's important to trust your instincts when it comes to fashion choices. Shopping pre-loved can lead to better quality clothing at a fraction of the price. Sound bites "The pre-worn fashion market is booming!" "There's enough clothes to dress for generations!" "It's important to experiment with your style."
