I’m thrilled to share insights from our latest episode of How Round Is Your Roti? where I had the pleasure of chatting with the fabulous Jas Chana. Jas is not just a personal stylist but a beacon of confidence for women looking to rediscover their style.

Growing up in a traditional Asian family, Jas was surrounded by vibrant fabrics and the hum of a sewing machine, thanks to her seamstress mother. This early exposure ignited her passion for fashion, leading her to become a style and confidence coach. In our conversation, Jas shared how fashion is more than just clothes—it’s about feeling good and expressing oneself authentically.

Listen to hear about:

* Her passion for fashion and how her parents supported her choices in this field.

* Using sewing as a link to our heritages —our mothers and grandmothers before us —who could design and create clothes.

* The common issues Jas sees with her clients and her style tips.

* The pressure of following fashion trends and how to avoid them if they’re not for you.

* Our views on sustainability in fashion.

* Having a separate Asian wardrobe and how to manage this (because mine is often out of control!).

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their style and confidence. Jas’s insights are not only practical but also inspiring. I took a lot from her straightforward approach to looking good and feeling even better.
