When I say I model I mean this.

You know, for eight incredible years as a professional model, I've walked countless runways and posed for endless campaigns. But behind the glamour, I often saw a significant gap—a real need for fashion that truly celebrated all body types. As a plus-size woman myself, I understood the frustration of finding high-quality, stylish clothes that genuinely made you feel good, not just 'accommodated.' That's why I decided to take the leap and launch my own clothing brand, @shopgabbyfe. It wasn't just about starting a business; it was about creating a movement. My vision was clear from day one: to build a brand where inclusivity wasn't an afterthought, but the very foundation. I wanted to design pieces that weren't just fashionable, but also made with exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality materials, ensuring they were accessible to everyone, regardless of their size, background, or personal style. It's about empowering people to embrace their unique beauty and find unwavering confidence in what they wear. Seeing moments like my designs or even my own face lighting up a massive billboard in Times Square, NYC—those "Holyfkingairball!!!!" moments after years of "Told them I model"—have been incredibly surreal and motivating. It reminds me that this journey is so much bigger than just clothes; it's about shifting perceptions. The process of becoming a founder and CEO has been a whirlwind, filled with late nights, creative bursts, and a steep learning curve. But every challenge has been worth it, knowing that we're contributing to a more authentic and diverse fashion world. We meticulously source premium fabrics and design silhouettes that flatter and empower, ensuring that when you wear @shopgabbyfe, you're not just wearing a garment—you're wearing confidence woven into every stitch. I truly believe that fashion should be a tool for self-expression and joy, not a source of insecurity. That's why we prioritize real body types and authentic representation in all our campaigns, showcasing the incredible diversity of our community. We're not just selling clothes; we're fostering a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated. My goal is for @shopgabbyfe to become a truly global brand, known not just for its beautiful designs, but for its unwavering authenticity and commitment to making high-quality, confidence-boosting fashion accessible to all. If you've ever felt overlooked by the fashion industry, my brand is for you. And for my fellow models out there, especially plus-size models who share this passion for genuine representation, I'm constantly looking for new faces to join our growing family and help us tell this powerful story. Let's make fashion truly inclusive, one beautiful, empowering outfit at a time. This journey is just beginning, and I'm so excited to share every step with you.
