Model turned fashion designer Sophie Simmons expands her involvement with
fashion tech start-up, The Style Club, as Marketing and Public Relations Manager
accompanied with an equity stake in the company. The Style Club, is the world’s
first seamless fusion of an e-commerce shop,
video channel and social platform and in this role, Simmons will be
responsible for talent relations, media outreach and creative design in
conjunction with creating exclusive seasonal collections. This new post will
precede the launch of the Sophie x The Style Club’s New Year’s Eve inspired
collection, featuring plus-size options for the first time.
“We’re thrilled to officially bring
Sophie into The Style Club family in this new capacity. Her passion for unique
style, coupled with her desire to offer something special to the market for
women of all shapes, sizes, and means speaks to the value we try to provide for
our users and customers every day,” says The Style Club founder Hilary Novelle
Hahn. “Sophie is wise beyond her years and with an asset like her, we look
forward to exciting new endeavors in 2015 and beyond."
Celebrating
the record-breaking success of Simmons’ Fall 2014 capsule collection for the
site, which sold out within the first 72 hours, The Style Club announces a
special limited release of this exclusive line. Launching Thursday, December
4th at 6 a.m. EST, the festive New Year’s Eve designs will be
available for purchase at 30 percent off only through Sunday, December
14th at www.thestyleclub.com, after which it will return to full
retail price.
In classic hues from black to ivory
and holiday red to festive wine, the 15-piece collection features rompers,
jumpsuits and dress hems from mini to maxi, adorned with French lace, vegan
leather, crushed velvet and sequin embellishments. For the first time in the
history of the site, the collection will also offer sizing from 00-18. The
majority of the collection is affordably priced under $100, with the entire
collection priced under $200, allowing women of all sizes to ring in the New
Year in style!
“The plus-size market lacks trendy,
flattering and fun designs you see in every store,” says Simmons. “Every woman
should feel empowered by their wardrobe so I’m thrilled to switch gears in this
market by introducing classic, affordable styles that can be worn by all body
types.”
