​Led by Founder Debbie Leisle, a senior merchant with over two decades of leadership driving high-volume retail and private brand growth, Debbielle Fashion Advisory specializes in translating market relevance into cohesive, market-ready fashion assortments. My approach is defined by a "merchant’s eye"—a seasoned perspective that balances taste-level and professional curation with a deep understanding of product lifecycles. I partner with apparel clients, retailers, and manufacturers to edit lines, maximize penetration, and create and scale assortments with impact.

Full-Circle Retail & Wholesale Success
I bring a rare, multidimensional perspective shaped by leading multi-million dollar businesses across the retail, wholesale, and private brand sectors of the fashion industry. My career spans a highly successful track record across distinct business models—from the curated environment of department stores and the high-penetration, private-label world of television shopping networks, to the massive scale and volume of wholesale clubs.
Having worked as a Senior Account Executive managing major wholesale accounts for premier national brands, alongside extensive experience scaling highly profitable private brands, my industry expertise comes full circle.
​
Due to my firsthand knowledge of the strategic drivers and operational realities for the retail buyer, the private label developer, and the wholesale manufacturer, I am uniquely positioned to deliver line-editing and brand advisory strategies that align perfectly with commercial reality.
Deeply committed to the industry's future, I bring this real-world perspective to my work mentoring next-generation talent and proudly serve on the Host Committee for the Moore College of Art & Design Fashion Show.
