Need a little inspiration? We are kicking off Plus Size Bridal Week with a spotlight on YOU, the plus size brides who took our breath away and stunned on their big day!
First Look: The Melissa Mercedes x Eloquii Collection!
Last year, Marie Denee conceptualized a unique opportunity for BIPOC designers, with the ideation of The Cultivate Awards. A whole program that not only gave the winner $10,000 in an award but also the opportunity to collaborate with Eloquii, with their very own capsule collection!
Well, do we have exciting news to share with you! As we ready for year 2 of the Cultivate Awards, we are here to debut the winner of last year’s Cultivate Awards, the Melissa Mercedes x Eloquii Capsule Collection!
We have spoken about the importance and what we feel makes a great plus size collab, and this collection hits all the points!
“ELOQUII, the ultimate fashion destination for sizes 14+, presents a collection with designer Melissa Mercedes. Available exclusively at ELOQUII.com, this must-have collection comes on the heels of Melissa’s win at the inaugural Cultivate Awards, an initiative that supports and nurtures the next generation of BIPOC emerging designers in the plus-size fashion community, presented by The Curvy Fashionista with ELOQUII as the founding sponsor.”
What we Love About the Melissa Mercedes x Eloquii Collection
The standout feature of this collection is the phenomenal color palette. You are entrenched with nothing but bold colors and you feel warmth and love. The silhouettes are feminine, sexy, and body-hugging.
It’s giving me high-class woman ready to vacation with the girls or even alone!
She’s not afraid to show off her curves, she loves color and beautiful structure. She’s willing to step out of her comfort zone and be adventurous.
Honestly, this collection is by far one of the best collections I’ve seen this year, besides the limited Valentine’s Day collection with IamBeauticurve and Eloquii.
I love when a designer understands how to provide style with minimal effort for the customers. All you need to do is wear it! The common theme is cutouts, crop tops, prints, ruffles, and pleats.
The must-have pieces in this collection are the pleated cutout dress, sequin romper, crop top, twisted skirt, and dramatic bow dresses. These pieces are guaranteed to upgrade your spring/summer wardrobe.
The Melissa Mercedes x Eloquii collection will be available on April 14, 2022. It will feature 16 pieces ranging from $59-$149 and a size range of 14-32. A little drama, sophistication, style, and a mix of both Eloquii and Melissa Mercedes!
If you are looking for fashionable well-designed pieces to include in your spring/summer wardrobe, this is the collection for you.
