The Art of Fashion in Motion is a strong visual extension of the company’s more-than-a-decade long mission to transform the world’s view of beauty. The Art of Fashion in Motion is to the plus-size fashion world what the contribution of these revolutionaries has been to the art world; a groundbreaking, exciting and out-of-this-world approach to the way we perceive plus-size women and fashion. In a visual feast that tells the story of wearable art designs, plus-size model Kailee O’Sullivan appears as a woman of multiples facades. She is a canvas of seductively moving curves where fashion and art merge as one to create a truly eye-opening campaign for an industry that is still believed to be stuck in the time of the muumuus.

The Art of Fashion in Motion campaign also features IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel’s new Valentine’s Day Collection of flowy, waist accentuating dresses and separates draped in signature IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel style and embellished with trendy sequins, lace and color blocks available now at www.igigi.com. Prices range from $90 to $180.

“I have always been inspired by the abstract expressionistic work and the way these artists made a change and influenced the world. My intent is to create wearable art designs that are timeless yet very modern. They inspire the wearer to express herself with confidence and empower her to communicate her uniqueness, beauty and intelligence regardless of her size. We women have multitudes of ways of expressing ourselves. The play with the idea of different looks for just one woman in the campaign is to remind the world that who we are is not defined by our current physical attributes but by who we choose to express ourselves onto the world as,” said Yuliya Raquel, Founder, Designer and Creative Director.

Much like Abstract Expressionism revolutionized the world of art, IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel has been a pioneer in the way fashion is created for the modern fuller-figured woman opening a path and leading the way for many brands that followed. February 2000 marked the arrival of designer label IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel on the fashion scene with a groundbreaking mission and culture that celebrated curvaceous and voluptuous women with sensual, daring and on-trend designs that were unprecedented in the world of plus-size fashion. Most of the selection at the time was designed to hide the curvaceous body behind shapeless garments with conservative silhouettes, poor quality, and ill-fitting styles.

A private couturier with a mostly plus-size client base, Yuliya Raquel, decided to break the rules of traditional plus-size fashion and bring her couturier experience to the masses with designs that flatter, accentuate and celebrate full-figured women with a message of self empowerment, acceptance, and love.

Jesus picked a significant time of the year to come back to life, symbolic due to the changing of season, which, even if you are not religious, the festival celebrates also.

To be honest, I wanted to understand more about the cultural celebrations that now take place during Easter, like why do we have Easter Eggs and why on earth do bunnies deliver these eggs? When realistically, you would think chickens or an animal that actually hatches eggs would!

As a child we used to celebrate Easter by making tiny little holes in real eggs and then blow out the yolk and white until our egg was hollow…teachers were very brave back then! Following this time-consuming process and with light heads, we would paint our eggs in a rainbow of colours. If mum was lucky, she would get two or three of these pieces of art work to display with pride around the house. My memories even go back to nursery where every year we would hunt for the Easter eggs that had been hidden in the garden and hedges, I even remember real life bunnies and an oversized rabbit which I am fairly sure was a teacher, leading the way!  I don’t know why I have never asked this before…but why??

As I suspected, and as I am sure all of you are now shouting at the screen, saying ‘you wolly! The egg and the rabbit represent new life’ which is of course what happens at spring! The egg has always acted as a symbol of life and was carved from wood or precious stone and given as a gift at spring, and the chocolate egg started about 100 years ago and since, has been the gift of Easter.

The egg laying rabbit started in America in the 1700’s, when coloured eggs were left as treats by bunnies for children who were good- thus explaining my Alice in Wonderland experiences as a child! And so has escalated into a booming commercialised industry where the end of lent is celebrated by eating chocolate the size of your head, decorated in foil.

Whatever you do this Easter, why not take a look around you and appreciate life, after all it can sometimes be something we all forget to do once in a while. Explore the rest of the features area for gift ideas and how to celebrate the Easter holidays.
