Meet our partner: Chamiah Dewey Fashion

 



Chamiah Dewey Fashion is the UK’s first clothing brand for people with Dwarfism/short stature. We offer stylish, timeless pieces, made in eco-conscious fabrics, sourced and produced in the UK, and finished with innovative, adaptive fastenings. 


Chamiah Dewey Fashion addresses the critical issue of the lack of positive representation of little people, especially in the fashion industry. We directly challenge societal perceptions of little people that have been conditioned into society for hundreds of years.


Our mission is to disrupt the fashion industry, producing and spreading positive representations of little people to the mainstream media, changing societal perceptions and showing the fashion industry that little people are just as beautiful and deserving of stylish clothing and a place in the industry.


Our vision for Chamiah Dewey Fashion is to lead and dominate the fashion industry for little people, successfully venturing into womenswear, menswear, children’s-wear and occasion-wear; partnering with the likes of the paralympics to produce bespoke kits for paralympians, creating bespoke red-carpet looks for short stature celebrities, and collaborating with household names to bring short stature clothing to the high street. We’d love to host pop-up stores across the globe, reaching all corners of the world to spread awareness of short stature fashion and to bring together the community in an immersive, welcoming and accessible in-person shopping experience.


In September 2022 CDF made our occasion and bridal range debut at London Fashion Week with London Represents

Meet the writer: Danielle Webb

Image
  Hello!  I’m Danielle Webb, and I'm pretty much your typical 23-year-old.... I work, socialise and everything in-between!  The only difference being, I do it all at 3f11 tall.   I was born with a condition called Achondroplasia, a hereditary condition in which the growth of long bones by ossification of cartilage is restricted, resulting in very short limbs and sometimes a face which is small in relation to the skull. So, in other words- I'm short! Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism and is known as short limb dwarfism. Meaning my torso- is very similar to that of yours! But my limbs are short- this means that at 23 years old, I stand at the same height as your average six-year-old. Whilst there are many additional health conditions and possible occurring issues caused by having Achondroplasia- The key thing is. I’m just short.    I grew up in an average height world- there is no one else in my family with the condition, and this meant as a ...

'Mummy, there's a new girl'.

 Mummy, there's a new girl is the sister publication to Short Perspectives- a children's fiction book promoting diversity and difference. At the age of 16, when in the midst of my childcare diploma, I found myself on placement amongst curious children- who's questions I couldn't answer. In all the settings I worked in; I had no resources to help me explain why I was small, nothing that could make it make sense in their young minds. There was no one that looked like me in any books, media or art- the book I needed as a child, and as a child practitioner didn't exist.  SO I WROTE IT.  5 years later, my power point presentation is now a fully illustrated, published, children's book;  'Mummy, there's a new girl'- is a book that highlights diversity and that it's ok to be different.  When a new girl joins the class, many of the children pick on her for her looks, but one brave little boy looks past her differences and learns that really- size is no bi...
