Who Am I?
I’m Liza Belmonte, a writer and editor based in London. In previous lives, I founded a size-inclusive ready-to-wear brand and held Partnerships and Marketing exec roles at companies like Amazon and Lyst. You may have also seen me share strong opinions loosely held on my Instagram.
Every Body Gets Dressed launched in early 2023 and is one of the top fashion newsletters on Substack. I have also contributed to publications such as Vogue Business and Harper’s Bazaar.
What Is Every Body Gets Dressed?
What drives me is celebrating individuality. This newsletter will help you make informed and autonomous shopping choices. I review zeitgeisty brands to help you discern the good from the bad. I rely on my experience developing clothing collections to tell you where you'll find quality and value. You will get an unfiltered view of the industry. In my regular column Style Subcultures, I show different aesthetics’ take on getting dressed (to work from home, go on a date, work out, get through a heatwave, etc.) to help you find the clothes that communicate who you are.
I send one email every Sunday. On weeks I’m feeling really chatty, you might receive another one on a Wednesday.
To get you started, I have compiled a list of some of the most popular letters from the archive. Make sure you hit the button below to subscribe so you don’t miss any of the future sends.

What’s With The Paywall?
Every newsletter includes free content everyone can read. Beyond the paywall, you’ll find all the good stuff, from valuable deep dives to juicy insights and curated shopping edits. Paid subscriptions support the weeks and months it takes to write each letter. You can become a paid subscriber for $80 a year (or $8 a month). I’m grateful beyond words to anyone reading my words, supporting my work, and trusting my recommendations.
