This week on The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives a D*mn, I’m sitting down with Ceilidh Chaplin — the visionary natural-dye artisan and slow-fashion designer behind BillyNou. Ceilidh’s journey began nearly a decade ago when she started experimenting with botanical dyes while pregnant, creating her first pair of overalls in a tiny home studio in France. Since then, she has built a brand rooted in intention, craft, and connection to the natural world. In our conversation, we explore what slow fashion truly looks like beyond the buzzword, the magic of working with foraged plants and vintage textiles, and how she balances motherhood, art, and entrepreneurship without compromising her values. Ceilidh shares how she keeps her work small, meaningful, and deeply personal — proof that fashion can be beautiful without being wasteful. It’s a thoughtful, grounding conversation with one of the most authentic makers in the sustainable fashion space. Tune in for a reminder that style can tell a story, hold history, and honour the planet all at once.
