Chamiah Dewey Named In The Top 10 Retail Disruptors And Innovators By Retail Technology Group and Retail Insider 2026

We are incredibly proud to share That Chamiah Dewey, founder of Dewey, has been named as a top 10 Retail Disruptor & Innovator in the Retail Technology Group list in partnership with Retail Insider. 

Created to spotlight individuals reshaping the future of retail, the list recognises those driving meaningful change across the industry. Chamiah was ranked number 4, alongside leaders from global platforms and high-growth brands including Amazon and Perfect Ted.

Winners were judged on their ability to deliver measurable impact, drive innovation, and challenge established norms. These are principles that sit at the core of DEWEY’s mission, so this recognition feels particularly meaningful.

What makes this moment even more special is that nominations were made anonymously by an expert industry panel. It is a powerful signal that the work being done at DEWEY is not only being seen, but valued at the highest level.

DEWEY was founded to address a long-overlooked gap in fashion: well-designed, ready-to-wear clothing for petite women. For too long, those under 5’4” have been underserved, often forced into children’s sizing or expensive alterations. DEWEY challenges this by designing specifically for petite and extra-petite adults under 5’2”, creating pieces that fit, flatter, and respect the proportions of smaller frames.

Recognition like this reflects a broader shift within the industry. One that is beginning to acknowledge petite fashion as a serious and scalable category, and one that values inclusive design as a driver of both innovation and growth.

We are proud to be part of that change. To be building a brand that not only serves an overlooked community, but helps redefine what the future of fashion can look like.

At DEWEY, petite has never been a limitation. It is a category full of opportunity, diversity, and untapped potential. And we are only just getting started!
