Fashion & Flat Whites: Dimitra Karagiannis
Dimitra is a fashion Contributor of Mys Tyler, serving the world with her colourful European fashion and style. In this article, Dimitra chats about her journey with body confidence, the essence of sustainability and attitude when it comes to fashion!
How would you describe your style?
I am a hippie soul in a corporate environment.
I love cami dresses, patterns, gems in my forehead. I might wear the same dress at work and the same one in a music festival but still I can make both looks feel different. It’s all about the accessories or layers combined and the attitude
Have you always been interested in fashion?
I wasn’t always interested in fashion. As a teenager I thought that I wasn’t pretty or girly enough because of my body type, so I just wore whatever fits me and if it’s a nice colour - it’s a plus. I was wearing only pants and large blouses. Until I tried on a skirt and I realised that I have a waist, I have a bum and I can be so damn feminine. It’s amazing how choosing the right clothing can change the way we look ourselves. And that’s fashion. Style, change and acceptance.
Till now -in the age of 35- I still don’t wear pants, cause it reminds me of what I thought I looked like.
“ It sounds like a weak spot. And it is. But this weak spot makes me stronger ”

What makes you excited about Mys Tyler?
What I love about Mys Tyler, is that I see so many women proud of their outfits, looking confident and ready to share their tips. Mys Tyler is a community where we can all be inspired by next door people who have their own style and inspire others to feel confident in their own clothes. Real people wearing real clothes with no “fitting” tricks.
And OMG finally I can actually quick buy this amazing item that I saw this girl wearing.
Let's talk about body confidence. It's a journey for us all, can you tell us about your journey?
Each and every person will always believe that there is at least one flaw on their body. And that’s normal. Cause we are human.
The trick is to find the balance between what our body is made for and how we can embrace it by making these flaws, the least thing we care about. There is not such a thing as one body type. We are all different and unique.
It took me long enough to release it and that held me back from enjoying moments in my life, in my youth.
Now, I know my flaws, but they don’t define me. The bigger picture is that I feel good in my own skin, I love wearing clothes that make me feel flirty and pretty, and that’s actually how I see myself.
“Now, I know my flaws, but they don’t define me.”
