“We believe that a woman, no matter the size, is only as beautiful as she feels.” – NinaBitton.com
LV: You both are obvious bombshells. How was it growing up for you? Were you always confident or was it something you had to learn as you matured?
Hanna: I personally always had a weight problem, and I only started embracing my curves when this line came out. It taught me to be more bold and confident.
Muriel: I had self-esteem issues growing up, but I’ve worked really hard on loving myself the way I am.
LV: What were your individual styles growing up?
Hanna: Growing up, I was a jeans and t-shirt girl. I wore my hair in a ponytail most of the time but always loved fashion and girly dresses.
Muriel: Growing up, I always stuck to classic pieces but always added something that was in style at the time.
LV: Can you explain your Spring/Summer 2014 line and how you guys started it?
Both: My sister and I decided to launch a plus size clothing line after seeing how much curvy girls struggled with finding sexy and fashionable clothing.
LV: How would you describe your individual styles now?
Both: Muriel has a more classic, clean cut yet femme fatal look and I (Hanna) have more of a rocker chic look with a pinch of baby doll.
LV: How and when did you two decide you wanted to start a plus-size clothing line?
Both: We decided about a year ago that we wanted to mix our styles together and create a fabulous line.
LV: What types of setbacks have you two faced as curvy women?
Hanna: I’ve always been very creative and would always want to wear clothes that I couldn’t find in stores. It’s very tough because to me fashion is expression.
LV: What are some big projects you guys are working on currently?
Both: Right now, we are in the process of getting our line into stores, and working on our next season.
LV: What advice would you give other women who are in your position or want to get to your positions?
Both: Go for it because it’s so worth it in the end, it’s a lot of work and stress but when you see someone wearing your dress proudly, that’s the best feeling in the world.
LV: Leave us with an awesome quote.
Both: Dream it. Wish it. Do it.
