More Rump, Less Frump

Autor Deb Malkin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 aug 2027
Re/Dress NYC was a much beloved plus size vintage + resale store in Brooklyn NY that sat at the intersection of blooming body positivity, fat liberation, queer joy and community. Re/Dress NYC offered a unique and supportive shopping experience in the fashion capital of the world that neglected an entire segment of people. The 3000 square foot store had the largest collection of plus size vintage clothing ever found in one place, a robust buy, sell, trade business which allowed for an accessible shopping experience as well as a feeling of parity with smaller young fashion forward people who had multiple stores like Buffalo Exchange and Beacon's Closet to enjoy. Re/Dress NYC also created indie designer fashion and trunk shows to help designers get their lines direct to shoppers before there was a real online shopping presence and also to connect with a sense of fun and joy for shopping which has been elusive for plus size people. The store and it's shopgirls created a real sense of home and comfort, besides selling clothing, Re/Dress NYC hosted book readings, fundraisers, performances, dance parties and more. It was a place to be seen and now it's a place to be commemorated with a book.

Notă biografică

Deb Malkin is the proud creator of Re/Dress NYC, Brooklyn's Fat Fashion paradise which was open from 2008-2011. Her involvement in the fat liberation movement began in 2000 when she attended a NOLOSE conference and found a sense of peace and empowerment in that rich and rebellious queer activist community. At the same time Deb worked in plus size fashion at alight.com, one of the first online plus size e-commerce sites. Through her industry experience and passion for community, she co-created and fostered a fundraising event called The Fat Girl Flea Market which ran for many years and raised thousands of dollars for body positive and fat activist organizing. The popularity of the flea market inspired Deb to make what became an international shopping destination,  the home for the largest collection of plus size vintage clothing in one store, and a vibrant space for creative self expression and self love. 
While Re/Dress NYC was a short lived experience the impact of the store still remains in the memories of the customers, designers and staff. After Re/Dress, Deb continued her work helping people feel at home in their bodies working as a massage therapist and mindbody coach.
