Heading to Las Vegas to shop make sure to stop at Rene’ Tyler in the Palazzo Hotel. Angela Rene’ is the principal designer and CEO. Her vision is style has no size. Women sizes 14 and above deserve beautiful quality red carpet, swimwear, every day, and eveningwear. We sit down to get to know this influential woman in her beautiful boutique in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Strip
Tammy Forchion Palazzo Hotel
The Grand Canal Shoppes
Rene’ Tyler
Her flagship store is inside the Grand Canal Shoppes in the Palazzo Hotel. This is the only plus size fashion on the Las Vegas Strip. She features an exceptional red carpet, every day, and swimwear. It is near the Sushi Samba and the glitzy escalator. The brand is a family collaboration with her son, Chase Tyler. They combined their middle names for the name in 2016.
Rene’
is so grateful for her son. He has allowed for her to achieve and create her
dream. She says, “I would not be here today without him.” She turns to him
during the interview to have him assist shoppers with the search for the skirt
she is wearing.
Congrats on your fashion story. It is amazing to watch your growth from your 2016 runway to this beautiful store here.
Her fashion sense and approach is to make all women feel beautiful. Her fashion is seen at AMC network show, ‘Dieltand,’ worn by Orange Is The New Black actress, Laverne Cox, for the Netflix Strong Black Lead campaign, recording artist Marsha Ambrosius during Maxwell’s 50 Intimate Nights Tour, The Daily Show correspondent Dulce’ Sloan for the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, and America’s Got Talent Finalist comedian Vicki Barbolak.

Rene’ Tyler Moves From LA to Vegas
She is originally from Las Vegas. She moved to LA to start her fashion line. “The time was right to move back,” she says, “it is time to open a brick and mortar.” It is important for the ability to try this fashion on and make sure it fits.
The Palazzo provides them with a great space. It is a nice convert from the previous men’s store to this beautiful plus size store. The only plus size shop on the strip. Her goal is opening in more cities.
This is a beautiful area for shopping. I enjoyed the afternoon walking the shops. It is filled with great food, gondola rides, and entertainment. Parking is free at The Palazzo.
She
does have online ordering for your fashion needs. You can shop here. Have
specific needs please feel free to contact her.
Hot Curves
No
one was doing plus size fashion at Los Angeles Fashion
Week (LAFW). She produced her own show. This was the influencing for plus
size fashion at LAFW. This fashion institution will be coming in the near
future for 40+ and plus size fashion.
Rene’ Tyler Sex Appeal of Style Accessories
The accessories found in this shop are absolutely the sexiness of any personal style. You will find plus size belts, sunglasses, shoes, handbags, clutches, veils (for that last minute wedding), and shoes to complete the sex appeal for Vegas.
Rene’ personally buys each item with the focus on each woman’s personal style and current trends. She wants each person to find that unique item for their great time in Vegas from the Stellar Awards to a nice day poolside.

Rene’ Tyler Dressing Laverne Cox
Rene’s most honored fashion moment was when Cox, actress, wore her dress. The dress was sent to The Only Agency for Danielle Brooks. Cox fell in love with the dress and bought it. This was such an amazing honor to have her wear this dress with all she represents bravery, embracing, and beauty.

Rene’ Tyler Honoring Women
We first meet Rene’ at Art Hearts Fashion Week in
2016. Her runway was a hit with all in attendance. The fashion was daring,
elegant, and embracing each woman’s beauty.
This tradition continues with her fashion designs for any plus size woman. Her next adventure adding 40+ for runway modeling, and her latest LAFW runway included a trans model.
Her fashion design
is fabulous with personal styling for any individual. Her fashion sense and
approach is to make all women feel beautiful. She incorporates using many
fabrics, textures, draping, and beautiful designs.
Her inspirations include Christian Siriano, Ralph & Russo, and Zuhair Murad. This provides her insight into current trends but allows for the different and unique for every woman.
Chase Tyler, Tammy Forchion, Angela Rene’
Rene’ Tyler Start to The Day
Her start to the day is coffee. It is very evident in her shop with the sign at the register saying, “No coffee, no workee [SIC].” Then she centers herself with prayer and meditation. Focusing on the day’s how, what, and when needs.
Rene’ Tyler’s Influencers
Her mother and grandmother are extremely influencing on her talent and ability to design. Her grandmother came from the south and had very little. She would sew all her children’s clothing. She put so much love and made it seem so effortless with everything she did. Rene’ said, “I bring that same love to each design I create.
My mother was there when I took home economics. I made my first pillowcase. My mother was there to assist it just helped me to see my passion for sewing. She gives me strength, determination, drive, and her personal elegant style really influences my personal style today.
Rene’ Tyler Fashion Tip
Rene’ says, “They have to have the right undergarments, the right bra, panties, and Spanx. This provides a nice smoothing. It takes the lines away. This is the moisturizer of fashion.” Of course this day I forgot my Spanx. It is all in the details.
Rene’ Tyler Most Proud in Her Brand
Rene’
is extremely proud of Hot Curves, the first plus size runway at Art Hearts
Fashion and Style Fashion Week. This is such a great honor to bring plus
fashion design to the runway.
Her most proud moment is making the cover of The Las Vegas Review. She is still beaming from this moment. She did not know she was going to be on the cover. This was such an honor because there was a time when her ancestor could not come down the strip to gamble, work, eat, or explore. The African American performers had to come through the back door to perform here. She is the only African American woman-owned business at the Grande Canal Shoppe.
This is an honor to cover the journey with Rene’ Tyler Plus Size Fashion from LA to Las Vegas. She brings sex appeal and many influencing firsts to fashion for all women.

This runway is not the expected evening gowns or ready-to-wear. It is a swimwear that is fitted and designed for any woman to fill comfortable without the large baggie shirt or bulky swim cover-up.
Tran brings Chromat to all women with her strong sense of structure, lines, and design bring a design that is flattering, sexy, and comfortable for anyone to wear.

Chromat The Runway
This runway inspiration is to reimagine the whole idea of throwing a ginormous shirt over a swimsuit while at the pool, peach or boating because of embarrassment. She believes every woman should feel her beauty and pride in swimwear. This runway accomplishes and demonstrates this.
The swimwear line started in 2010 brings architecture, fashion, innovative design, cutting-edge, the body’s performance encouraging empowerment from the garments for all bodies. The runway provides a strong diversity representing all women.
This runway does not have the Cheetos or snacks nor are they carrying pool accessories. They come down the runway just as if they have jumped out of the pool and are heading for their towels.
The swimwear is designed for those who love two piece swimsuits, one piece that even provides more coverage if you are in a cooler climate, but love to play in the water. It is a great collection full of color and print with a great use of mesh for breathability and comfort. The cover-ups are beautiful with some sex appeal with them.

This is a fun collection for every woman to be sexy, beautiful, and confident. Chromat is your fashion go to for all your water fun.

The beautiful red color is perfect bringing longing, lust, sexuality, sensitivity, and romance to the collection. The woman is independent and willing to take risks. She hair and makeup details below. Omobolaji A Onaolapo, the designer at Niiffee, brings her understanding lines to complete the femininity and passion.
Omobolaji A Onaolapo Designer of Love Collection
Onaolapo began sewing from watching her mother sew curtains and bedding. She began with pencil sketches and began creating her clothing while in college. Soon her friends began asking for her to create clothing of them. Completing her degree she worked in the gas and oil industry, but one day decided to quit and focus on her golden empire, fashion.
Onaolapo began with a bespoke brand catering mainly for weddings and special events. Her designs have been on many red carpets and celebrities. Her designs represent her belief that women should fit the clothing and not the clothing fitting the woman. This spring summer 2018 collection brings the woman to a look that fits her every curve and line in an asymmetrical fashion. Onaolapo stays focused and directed each day on her talent and dreams.
Onaolapo enjoys starting her day successful. She states, “The first thing I do in the morning is open my eyes and say a prayer of gratitude. I know it sounds silly but it gets me positive and ready for the day when I acknowledge all the great things I have going for me.” This positive start to the day helps her maintain balance in life.
Developing an international fashion company takes a lot of time and effort. She maintains a balance by, “making sure I have a start and stop times. Yes, some days I can’t help it when work runs later than planned but I make sure that doesn’t happen a lot. So my loved ones don’t feel neglected and I have time for myself as well,” she says. This is an important example of taking care of self and personal relationships.
She continues with life balance and with exercise, a lot. She works on, strength training, yoga, and cardio. I can’t do without my workout routines. I am also super conscious of my diet so I try to stick to natural meals and freshly cooked meals.” Her focus on balancing her health, relationships, and business keep her on track to continue focusing on personal goals and achievement.
NYC Soiree Niiffe Red Dress Collection
Achievement and Goals
Her biggest achievement to date is that she has not quit. She says, “Because this job is super stressful and demanding. And despite that my brand keeps growing.” Her insight into the fashion industry and continuing to develop and grow is stressful but maintains a good life balance with health, focus, and personal relationships.
She continues to focus and drive with her goal in place. Her top goal is, “the future includes pushing my brand to a level of success where it becomes a force to be reckoned with in fashion. Another important goal of mine is to use my medium (Fashion) to make an impact in people’s lives. If I can help one or two people do their goals and make their dreams a reality then that translates to success for me.” She is aware of her brand, success, and the women she is designing.

Zimmermann hits the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) autumn-winter 2018 runway with a dedication to the earth, Victorian, and strong women. This fashion collection takes a step toWestworld with the tones, colors, unbridled beauty, and western styling.
Zimmermann NYFW FW18
The collection brings a strong sense of powerful women during the Victorian period. The fabrics include wool, sartorial, and buttery leather. These fabrics brought a masculinity feel while keeping it feminine the strong presence.
The styling is very earthly taking a woman to the strength she possesses and the power to embrace the freedoms a woman should enjoy. Hats tie over the shoulder, bomber jackets, riding pants, shearling coats, over the knee boots, and the glamorous boots show her soft feminine side while being tough for what the wilderness hold.
Zimmermann NYFW FW18
The designs are strong Victorian with a hint of the 1980s. The earth tones draw in the southwestern US and soft colors bring a romance to the fashion. This collection brings a strong modern edge to the old. Nicky Zimmermann takes a little step from her traditional bohemian fashion, but there are hints if you look real close to some of the pieces you will see the ruffles and crocheting. Simple and pure really add to the earthy look.
This collection will bring ready-to-wear and simplicity to your fall-winter fashion.
