Direct-to-consumer lingerie and swimwear e-tailer, Yandy.com co-sponsored and celebrated a message of fashion equality for curvy women at last week's "Inaugural Body Inclusivity & Diversity Summit," held at the United Nations in New York City. More than 300 fashion insiders and stars came together to speak about changing the public's perceptions of beauty and size standards in the fashion industry and beyond.
Attending on behalf of Yandy.com, Chief Marketing Officer Charley Clemens explained, "Since our launch in 2005, we have always offered sexy lingerie and swimwear for our curvy customers. We're honored to take part in events like this where top fashion insiders are spreading the message of fashion equality to the public and to the media. We look forward to continuing our role in this national conversation by providing the very best in fashion at affordable prices and in a diverse range of sizes all women can appreciate."
Hosted by Celebrity Stylist, Advocate and Author Susan Moses, guests heard keynote speeches such as "Moving the Evolution Forward" from curvy industry powerhouses, including:
Cindi Leive, Editor-in-Chief, Glamour Magazine
Christian Siriano, CFDA Designer
Jill Scott, three-time Grammy Award Winning Singer, Songwriter and Actress
Sherri Shepherd, Comedian, Actress and Host of The View
Emme, the first plus supermodel, Body Positive Activist

Mikki Taylor, Author & Editor at Large, Essence Magazine
Danielle Brooks, Actress " Orange is the New Black" & Broadway's "The Color Purple"
Moses said, "We were so happy to receive sponsorship from the team at Yandy for our inaugural summit. Support from fashion labels is vital in spreading awareness for our message, and what I love about Yandy is they have always been a provider of fashion for women of all sizes. It's not just a trend to them."
When asked about the future of curvy fashion at Yandy.com, Clemens said, "We can't reveal too many details, but let's just say our curvy fall lingerie category is going to have some pretty incredible additions that our customers are going to flip over. We can't wait share more soon."
Following the conclusion of the Body Inclusivity and Diversity Summit, guests received their very own Yandy.com lingerie to experience, including a beautiful, sultry Plus Size Daisy Mesh Strappy Back Chemise or Caged Triangle Cup Lace Chemise.
