Our sister-friend, Monique Gaines, is the feature of our next episode in our #MagicInMay series.
Monique Gaines is a petite plus-size model that is blazing the runway and representing for all women that find themselves as an “in between size”. She advocates that one size does not fit all, but ALL SIZES fit in fashion! Urging designers to think outside the mannequin, she is using her voice in fashion to raise the expectations we have when it comes to plus size and petite fashions.
Born and raised in HSV, AL she began her modeling career in 2015. Modeling has transformed the way she feels in her body, and hopes to continue to inspire all people to fall in love with themselves. Once she discovered her own lane in fashion, the Universe opened many doors to traveling, networking with celebrities, and working with several designers and retailers. As a social media influencer, she is branded as the #TWEENIEQUEENIE and keeps her followers in the know on and off the runway.
In addition to modeling, Monique brings her unique sense of flair as host/emcee to several annual events, fashion shows, and podcasts. The cherry on top of all that is she is a dedicated mother to a diva in training. ❤️
