TruDiva Designs

From a young age Veronica has always had a love for fashion. As a little girl she would go through magazines and cut out all of the outfits that caught her eye. As she got older she became disappointed by the lack of options for plus sized women, so she got a sewing machine and learned how to sew. Veronica began making her own clothes that not only complimented her curvy physique but also stood out from what department stores offered. With the encouragement of family and friends Veronica founded TruDiva Designs. Her vision for TruDiva is to make quality clothing that is both unique and flattering for plus sized women. Veronica feels that every woman deserves to feel sexy no matter what shape or size and TruDiva gives curvier women a place to buy clothes that do just that. Her goal is to take plus sized fashion to a level that the world has yet to see. Veronica’s designs have been unveiled in several fashion shows including Art of Curves, Divabetics, Curves Rock, Fashion on the Hudson, Full Figured Fashion Week, Plus Night Out, Love Your Body Day, and District of Curves .

SHUN MELSON

An icon in her own right, you can't pronounce celebrity stylist Shun Melson's name without saying the word fashion. She is FaSHUN. Shun has become somewhat of a modern day superwoman, swooping in and transforming her clients from best-dressed list unknowns to media darlings.

Shun boasts a diverse clientele ranging from reality TV 'it girls' such as Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Phaedra Parks and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, to Grammy and Academy award winning entertainers Ledesi, Monica, Kandi Burruss, Fantasia, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Jennifer Hudson and Tyler Perry. The fashion maven also counts a number of artists (gospel, r&b, rap), professional athletes, housewives and business executives as clients, which explains her often used #NeverNotWerkin hashtag.

The trendsetter does more than improve her clients' style; she helps improve their lives and careers. "My goal is to keep my client's focused on their business at hand whether that is a promotional tour, game, concert, business meeting or just having more quality family time. I eliminate the stress of them doing any of the legwork to look polished and feel fantastic." Shun, who started her career working in high-end retail, knows how to provide outstanding customer service and put all the details together. She provides wardrobe assessment consulting, closet organization, shopping assistance, personalized look development, personal fittings, cross-country shipping, outfit snapshots for effortless dressing and packs each item with meticulous instructions. Shun is also notorious for scouring the globe to procure a specific item upon a client's request and she does so with a smile. "I've been told that I handicap my customers," says the proud clotheshorse. "They'll tell me ever since they hired me they can't even walk into their closets, a store or go on a trip without contacting me first."
An Atlanta native, where she resides with her two young sons, Shun turns just as many heads as her loyal protégés. As a result she launched FaSHUN 101 classes, introductory courses on the basic principles behind the styling business where she travels the country spreading the magic secrets to her success. In 2013, the fashion maven introduced her FaSHUN apparel line that consists of everyday basics such as t-shirts, hoodies, jogging pants and hats with clever hashtag quotes she is known to use on her social media platforms like #luvthystylist, and #stylist. Shun now caters to women size 2-24 with her infamous items such as, the skater dress, 2 piece set, Duster, and wrap dress just to name a few!

The ultimate taste-maker, Shun will continue to expand her FaSHUN brand in an effort to make the world a more stylish place.

Selah

Selah-(sel-uh) noun. Stop and listen, amen, used in reflection at the end of scripture, indication of pause.

SELAH was created in just one of those moments of reflection and commune with God. During that time I decided to leave a 14 year career in law enforcement to care for my mother suffering from dementia. The care of my mother made working a regular nine to five almost impossible. Despite this I still wanted a career and a purpose outside of caregiver. It was at this "selah" moment that I decided to turn my love of fashion into a living; while still remaining available to give my mother the attention she required. With the help of my husband Derick SELAH was formed. As a plus size woman I always wanted sexy beautiful clothes; but had to travel to the ends of the earth to find them. So, as I formed SELAH I decided to provide clothes for ALL women, of every shape and every size. "Clothing for your curves". www.selahboutique.com/
