Model of the Month: Zaida

Zaida chose her favorite photos from SmartGlamour collections to feature! 1. Aside from occasionally modeling for SmartGlamour – what do you do? I am an office manager in a dental office. I deal with all things that involve insurance, payments and claims. Most importantly to me – I love to deal with my patients, especially the kids, they really make me laugh. Aside from my full time job, I’m often busy…

#MiracleMomBods

#MiracleMomBods We live in a society where women’s bodies are obsessed over, objectified, scrutinized. Our bodies are held to an un-achievable (sans 5% of us) standard which forgets the fact that bodies change, grow, and age. We live in a society where #DadBod became an overnight sensation – celebrating men for depicting the average, everyday version of themselves – when that is the last thing we would accept women to be. Where is the celebration for Mom Bods? The bodies that actually have reason to grow and change – as they grew a life inside of them and then gave…

#SameSizeDifferentEyes

#SameSizeDifferentEyes When I was studying fashion design in college – my best friend and I were always amazed that we could share clothing and wear the same size despite our obvious differences in body shape. With 4.5 inches between our heights, and very clear visual disparities in our proportions – it was crazy to us that we could share pairs of jeans (although the lengths would vary greatly) but share we could and did. And now – as a working fashion designer with my own brand and last spring my own pop up shop – I watch and facilitate conversations…

Model of the Month: Shenelle

Next up in our Model of the Month Series is Shenelle LaPierre. Shenelle has modeled for us in two collections and is always a joy to work with! Shenelle chose her favorite photos from SmartGlamour collections to feature! 1. Aside from occasionally modeling for SmartGlamour – what do you do? When I’m not having fun modeling, I work full time as an entry writer for the Customs Brokerage department at C.H. Robinson International – a freight forwarding company. I know you’re wondering… What is an entry writer? Sort of an agent that reports data to US Customs for goods being…

Model of the Month: Meredith

Next up in our Model of the Month Series is Meredith Hertlein. Meredith is not just the sister of our designer, Mallorie Carrington – but also a huge supporter of the brand. She has been modeling since our first Look Book in Spring 2014 and is a constant feature in every collection. Meredith and Mallorie chose their favorite photos of Meredith to feature! 1. Aside from occasionally modeling for SmartGlamour – what do you do day to day? Ha-ha – What don’t I do day to day? I am a stay-at-home mom to two adorable children – a 2 year…

Model of the Month: Megan

Note from the designer: Welcome to our new series! One of the best (in my biased opinion) aspects of SmartGlamour is our models. I take a lot of pride in having ladies of all shapes, sizes, weights, heights, ethnicity, etc so that we are always showing a true depiction of reality. But what you don’t see is that these women typically end up being some of our biggest supporters. They believe in our message and I could not spread it without them. They all come from different backgrounds – and got involved with us in different ways – so here…
