In this episode of the Get Styled podcast, host Elsa Isaac reveals how for nearly 20 years, she’s called herself the anti-fashion stylist. But what does that really mean? In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on why she doesn’t subscribe to the fashion industry’s rules, how it was never designed to make all women feel seen, and what she focuses on instead. Let’s talk about why real style has nothing to do with trends—and everything to do with you.

If you’ve ever felt like fashion wasn’t made for you, this one’s for you.
