Monif C. Plus Sizes Announces the Grand Opening of their New York
Plus
Size Boutique
NEW YORK, NY - June 1, 2007, Monif C. changes the way New York plus
size fashionistas shop with Manhattan's first contemporary clothing
boutique catering to curvy, confident, and stylish plus size women.
Thursday June 14, 2007 marks the Grand Opening of the Monif C. Plus
Sizes Boutique in Midtown Manhattan. Monif C. Plus Sizes is a
contemporary, designer clothing line that was launched in September
2005. Co-owned by mother/daughter team, Monif and Elaine Clarke,
Monif C. was conceived to reaffirm every woman's desire for an
inspired life, luxury, and unadulterated sex appeal.
Known for her debut during Olympus Fashion Week Fall 2005, and
features on The View, BET's Rip The Runway, the Tyra Banks Show, and
TLC's What Not To Wear, among others, Monif C. is bringing fashion to
plus size consumers who would otherwise have no outlet to get their
contemporary fashion fix. Monif's line of sexy, stylish dresses for
plus size women can be purchased online at http://www.monifc.com/, in
specialty boutiques worldwide, and now live and in full color at the
Monif C. Plus Sizes New York Boutique.
Monif Clarke created Monif C. as a result of her own frustrations with
the fashion industry's view of the plus-size market. "There is a new
perspective amongst plus size women that says, "I can be
sophisticated, sexy, and I want to show off my curves. I wanted to
create plus sized clothing that even "skinny" women would want to
buy." Who says plus sizes can't be sexy, luxurious, and feminine?
After successfully creating the Curvy Girls Night Out, a New York City
one-day shopping and pampering event held twice a year, Monif C. would
get calls from many customers pleading for the opportunity to shop
Monif C. year round in New York City. As a plus size woman herself,
Monif understood the frustration of shopping in the New York City
area. "I always wondered why in one of the fashion capitals in the
world I could never find stylish plus size clothing. I am my
customer, and I know that we are stylish, fashion-forward women that
are on the go. We want to be able to come in, and buy a dress to wear
to a special event later that evening. We wanted to provide women in
the tri-state area and visiting tourists the convenience of shopping
the Monif C. line."
At the Monif C. Plus Sizes Boutique, customers will be able to shop
the entire Monif C. line as well as jewelry, large size shoes, body-
shaping undergarments, and accessories hand-picked by Monif C.
herself. Gold drapery, beaded Indian silks, and a white crystal
chandelier highlight the décor of the boutique and complement the
vibrant colors and opulence of the Monif C. line. Curvy women will be
delighted to shop in a chic, upscale boutique where they can shop for
beautiful clothing made specifically for them.
