interviews Yuliya Zeltser, designer and founder of IGIGI
Valletta, MALTA, 14 June, 2006 - Pasazz.net, the plus size
clothing directory, this month met up with Yuliya Zeltser, the founder
of the exclusive plus size clothing line, IGIGI. In an interview
published today, Yuliya reveals why she is passionate about working in
the plus size clothing industry. A series of interviews have recently
been conducted by Pasazz.net, with prominent women involved within the
plus size clothing industry, in order to help create awareness of the
plus size fashion industry. The full interview is available at www.pasazz.net/yuliya.
In today’s interview, IGIGI’s designer and founder,
speaks fondly of being born and raised in Ukraine. Yuliya reveals why,
although she is not a full figured woman herself, she designs clothing
for curvy women; witnessing her mother finding it difficult to find
clothes that which fit and appeals to her, drove Yuliya to make it both
her personal and professional mission to provide full figured women
with the clothing they deserved.
“I realized that no matter what size a woman wears, she wants
to look feminine, stylish and very attractive. The clothes that were
available on the market at that time did not do justice to women who
wore them. At that moment my personal and professional mission was
formed,” says Yuliya.
Yuyila recounts how IGIGI was founded in 1998 and how the
‘sexy’ label’s name was brought to life
by “taking a French name Gigi and making it
‘symmetrical’ by placing an ‘I’
at the beginning of the word.” Furthermore Yuyila explains
how she later on “did a research online and found out that
Igigi was the name of the ancient civilization’s gods; and
the main goddess of the group was Ishtar - an ancient Phoenician
goddess of love and fertility.”
Drawing inspiration from anything that moves, from architecture and
from literature Yuyila has created a plus size clothing label which
truly enables curvy women to feel like a star.
IGIGI is a unique plus size clothing fashion label which strives to
fulfill the needs and desires of the under-represented modern
voluptuous women.
