New York, NY (Sonique
Solutions) – ‘Dressed Up’, a soon to be launched
retail shoppe specializing strictly in dresses, has been generating
quite a buzz in several fashion-forward circles as well as on social
media. Eagerness for the unveiling on this novel concept has only
grown with news of the owner’s aspiration to use the platform to
showcase the works of Caribbean designers and to assist victims of
domestic abuse.

The highly anticipated Dressed Up will
carry ready-to-wear casual, contemporary and designer dresses for
women from various walks of life such as corporate professionals,
college students, stylish homemakers, trendy fashionistas or
high-profile celebrities. The shoppe will also offer a few very
high-end, one-of-a-kind couture dresses for the discerning client
with a desire for the exclusive.

Set to open soon in Newark, New Jersey,
this garment-exclusive venture has so far been met with excitement by
the general public and has received positive feedback and support
from several fashion industry insiders.

Dressed
Up is the brainchild of Trinidadian-born, New York-based Diane
Wiltshire, known professionally and affectionately in the fashion
world by the sobriquet ‘Fury’.

Fury
has graced numerous international catwalks as a professional model
and through her work honing her skills in this industry, fostered her
passion for fashion and penchant for distinctive style.

With
regard to her current mission with this retail initiative she shared,
“I use fashion to express my feelings about where I am going and I
use my style to honour who I am seeing. So being able to create a
space where I can facilitate other women (and the men who love them)
with finding that special piece that allows them to honour not only
themselves but the ambiance, occasion and company, brings me
incredible joy and excitement!”

In
addition to her long-time modelling career, Fury brings an almost 20
year career in the Hospitality industry and a team which is highly
experienced in business development, fashion merchandising and
branding to this bourgeoning enterprise.

As a
proud and determined Caribbean woman, Fury intends to pay homage to
her heritage by featuring dresses and collections by both established
and emerging designers from the region and diaspora and has already
established a collaboration to carry the line of a major Caribbean
fashion icon.

Notably,
as a domestic abuse survivor, she will be partnering Dressed Up with
a domestic abuse women’s shelter and will be dressing survivors who
have lost everything but their lives. The program entitled
‘reDRESSed’ will dress
survivors as they re-enter the workforce.

With
an imminent launch, an already growing buzz and a unique
concentration on dresses, Dressed Up is poised to become the focused
option and solution for satisfying this specific need in busy and
savvy consumers saving them from the overwhelming, time consuming and
often annoying task of sifting through racks of shirts, pants &
tops in average department stores.
