Marie Denee Listen… We have great news to share with you! The plus size cornerstone brand, that has been around for over nearly 20 years, has gotten its designer back! Yes, Yuliya Raquel, the designer behind the IGIGI we know and love, is back! The plus size designer, Yuliya, has taken the reins with IGIGI and we are so excited about this news! Thanks to a tip from Rebecca from All Go, we are able to confirm that IGIGI has returned to its roots, with an interesting twist!
If you remember, a few years back, we shared the news that Yuliya had launched her new venture, COUTURME, a made to order dress brand. Well, with the help of her startup venture backed by Y Combinator, COUTURME, IGIGI has been acquired back!
IGIGI is Back with Yuliya Raquel, and with a Twist!
This is exciting… you see, for 13 years, prior to her leaving, Yuliya was the sole Fashion Designer Visionary and Creative Director of IGIGI. The feminine silhouettes, trusted fit, form, and quality, and accessible price points made IGIGI a go to brand…
However, over the past few years, things changed. While IGIGI was questionably not the same, Yuliya was pursuing her vision of “building revolutionary technologies for the fashion industry, to empower sustainability and ethical manufacturing.”
