Shauna Tisdale, CEO of Diva Glam, launches
its highly anticipated 2005 season with a gala star-studded
fashion show at The Pavilion at 1800 Post Oak Blvd. in
Houston, Texas, on Saturday, June 25th. Presenting fabulous
fashions for the full-figured woman is what Diva Glam
is all about. Diva Glam speaks to real women – not the
fantasy images often portrayed by Seventh Avenue. Who
says, “Thin is in,” when sixty percent of the women in
America are a size 14 or over? Not Diva Glam. In fact,
they’re breaking all the fashion rules for full-figured
females.
The Diva Glam tour showcases the style,
glamour and elegance of full-figure fashion models. When
you see the show, you will have a deeper appreciation
and knowledge of the fashion options available for full-figure
women. Co-Hosted by Walter Greene (Fashion Editor, Sister
2 Sister Magazine), DJ Nnete (97.9 The Box) and Robaire
Smith(Houston Texans), the evening begins with a VIP Cocktail
Reception at 8:30 PM and the Fashion Show at 10 PM. Following
the show, Diva Glam will host a trunk show featuring exclusive
full-figure fashions.
Diva Glam has a team of fashion professionals
who work hard to make each show fabulous. Only top designers
are featured - designers who understand that the fashion
statement this and every season for the full-figured woman
is style and affordability. Diva Glam will present collections
from DG Couture by celebrity fashion designer Malcolm
Harris, Courtney Washington, CISCO and Diva Glam Sport
by Shauna Tisdale. “We run a tight operation” said Shauna,
“our models are just as polished as the standard-sized
runway models. The majority of American women are over
a size 8 and yet the fashion industry has not fully embraced
this market, which is such a lucrative part of the fashion
business.”
The Big Boys of the NFL are also lending
their time to support Diva Glam and will be modeling looks
by Phat Farm, Rocawear, Sean John and Akademiks. Chris
Claiborne of the St. Louis Rams, Bryant McKinnie of the
Minnesota Vikings, Shaun Rogers of the Detroit Lions,
Robaire Smith of the Houston Texans, Andre Gurode of the
Dallas Cowboys, Casey Hampton of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Shawn Andrews of the Philadelphia Eagles, Hollis Thomas
of the Philadelphia Eagles and Marcus Stroud of the Jacksonville
Jaguars will all be on hand to add a little something
extra to the show for the ladies in the audience to appreciate.
Diva Glam Inc. is the brainchild of Shauna
Tisdale, who has worked as a celebrity fashion stylist
and costume designer for nine years. Shauna partnered
with Kaseem Johnson who owns the Grand Entrance Salon
in New Jersey where he trains a team of real size, full-figured
models to strut the catwalk. Diva Glam Fashion & Trunk
Tour travels throughout the United States and will be
hitting Atlanta, Dallas and Detroit in the near future.
“Your size, like your age, is just a number, says Shauna.
“At Diva Glam women are defined by attitude. And we’re
empowering women at every show to present a proud and
positive image for plus sized women.”
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased
at the door or in advance at Melodrama Boutique – 5306
Almeda, Houston, TX - (713) 523.1608. A portion of the
proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation, in honor of Patricia Tisdale (Shauna’s
Mother) who passed away of Breast Cancer in 1995.
The show is sponsored by Texas Accelaration
& Sports Training, Prescriptive Cosmetics, Phat Farm,
Sean John, Rocawear, Akademiks, Melodrama Boutique, Hilton
Hotel and Divine Public Relations.
