The Cultivate Awards Year II Finalist Angela Rene’

Angela Rene’ is the CEO/Designer of Rene’ Tyler, a size inclusive brand dedicated to providing women sizes 12 and above with elevated, contemporary, and bridal designs.

Having been in the business for over ten years, she understands how to design for curvy women of all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds. Rene’ believes no matter what size you are, women should have options when it comes to fashion.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a size four or thirty-four, fashion is for everyone! 

‘I pull inspiration from Old Hollywood. I love the era of Dynasty when women dressed up for every occasion. I’m really inspired by new designers that are creating the next generation of fashion.”

-Angela Rene’ on what inspires her

She later launched Lorenza James by Elle Dove in 2013.

“I was making beautiful garments that I couldn’t wear the entire time I was in school. Now I want to serve women that look like me…”
