Reah Norman Represents Sorella Swim at FFFWeek

by Ta'Nashea McLeod

Sorella Swim prides itself on using the highest quality fabrics and trims with specific focus on fit and figure flattering details. The ultimate goal at Sorella Swim is to give the sophisticated, curvy women a luxury brand that not only accentuates her body, and helps her feel sexy while chic, but also is a brand she can call her own.

Founder and designer Jessica Petersen of luxury swimwear brand Sorella Swim teamed up with Reah Norman, Stylist and Executive Fashion Editor of PLUS Model Magazine for Full Figured Fashion Week 2012.

Neither of these talented women are newcomers to the fashion industry. Reah Norman was named “Plus Fashion Stylist of the Year” at FFFWeek 2010. While Ms. Petersen has designed for many high profile labels in the past, and is a graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.    

This top-notch collaboration ensured Sorella Swim a lasting impression on and off the runway in the plus size community.
