Adolfo Sanchez named creative director for Queen Grace Collection
NAPLES, Fla. (Sept. 12, 2011) - Marina Zelner, creator of plus-size fashion company, Queen Grace, has announced the appointment of Adolfo Sanchez as the brand's creative director.
"Queen Grace Collection has experienced unprecedented growth in the industry," said Zelner. "We wanted an amazing, high-fashion designer working for the brand that shared our vision of empowering women and celebrating their strengths - no matter what size. We are thrilled to be working with him."
Sanchez began his journey in the fashion world as a teenager when a group of his friends schooled him on who's who of fashion. Later, he began working retail in large fashion houses such as Gucci and Versace. It wasn't until 2006, however, that he decided to take his creativity and love of fashion and develop a women's ready-to-wear line. After being featured in countless magazines and having the opportunity to work with a variety of people in the industry, Sanchez, 26, has since grown his business into a successful brand that offers collections for women that dare to be strong and different.
Now, he brings his unbelievable talent and raw determination to QGC and the plus-sized industry. "It was an honor to be approached by Queen Grace and given the opportunity of creating modern fashion forward garments for women of all shapes and sizes," said Sanchez. "Working with such an innovative company that empowers women all over the world is a true inspiration."
When it comes to design, Sanchez says most of his inspiration comes from experiences in his life, music, architecture or simply taking in his surroundings and allowing his mind to develop an idea. He also cites designers such as Cristobal Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and Alexander McQueen as sources of motivation.
Queen Grace Collection, launched by Zelner in 2010, is a high-fashion company that designs exclusively for the contemporary full-figured woman. Queen Grace previewed its debut collection at the 2011 Full Figured Fashion Week. Since then, Zelner and her team have created a buzz in the industry.The collection offers a variety of sophisticated looks and timeless fashions that are fresh, innovative, elegant, sensual and affordable. Every garment is made in the United States and is constructed from quality, comfortable material and is tailored to flatter the curvy female form. Most of all, every piece in the collection - from a pencil skirt to an evening gown - celebrates a woman's freedom, confidence and beauty.
Queen Grace fashions are available at exclusive retailers and online at http://www.queengrace.com/.

Some Insightful Inspiration...♥
............................................................................................
♥Ok, listen.
♥Ok, listen.
No successful and happy person ever just cruised through life. The struggle, the hard times, and the fight is part of the journey. I write positive things because that is the state of mind you have to be in to reach the end result you want! Stick with it and keep up the fight, the battle only makes that personal success that much sweeter..
♥Believe...
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Just a couple of things to think about over the weekend... Enjoy..!!

'Lifes' Moments - To be or NOT to be...
E/Note:-
................................................................................
So you know those moments and I'm sure every body's had one of these at least once in their lifetime... If not I suppose your lucky in a way...
But for me reflection is something that happens to me almost on a daily basis and though it was a nuisance when I was younger, it is now one of my strongest assets. Only because it allows a certain amount of stepping back from all situations little or big, and in doing so therefore allows a "bigger picture" type perspective to also be incorporated into daily decisions and tasks...
So now to the point... This particular moment is the one where your usually doing the mundane and you're thinking back.. Often with thought of "what if I had done this then, instead of that...." or "If only I hadn't done that..." or the destructive " I really wish I hadn't done that...". These thoughts can only be helpful in small doses and if they are few and far between...
But to allow oneself to dwell for long periods of time in these thought processes can ultimately be damaging to ones confidence and self esteem... NOT GOOD..
So it's important I feel for individuals to understand that even though we may find ourselves in hard and uncomfortable circumstances, and regardless of whether those circumstances were of our own doing or beyond our control, nothing that has happened can be changed or altered, future reactions can equal them out, but you can't change the past...
Reality is most of the time no matter how much you wish something wasn't or is... you will probably find that some other circumstance that more than likely will prove positive, would never of occurred if things had not gone wrong or happened the way they did...
This basically is the whole "Every dark cloud has a silver lining" metaphoric moment... but regardless I felt the need to share the fact that they occur, as these moments are a part of everyday 'Life'...
But to be able to live an ultimately fulfilling 'Life'... it's important that these type of moments are recognised and accredited because they provide us with hindsight perspective... also it contributes to the whole aspect of problem solving....
But the ultimate aim in 'Life'... is to always look and move forward, no matter the setbacks... it's with these moments, combined with the determination to succeed, that we gain wisdom and knowledge to always be able to deal easier and better with all of 'Life's.. unpredictable and sometimes predictable circumstances...
Therefore to succeed in 'Life'... it is simply allowing ourselves to always and relentlessly grow....♥

Dion X Leigh ON AIR THIS FRIDAY 2DAYFM...!!!
.................................................................................
DionX' career has spanned over several mediums such as music, television and live performances across Australia and New Zealand.

When asked what it is about these artists he likes he replies; 'All these artists are great performers and entertainers as well as formidable business entrepreneurs and they all show great admiration, respect and humility to their loyal fans. They inspire me to keep doing what I love everyday. Being on stage and performing is what I live for, it's where I find inner peace'.
Few have lasted this long and DionX is one who definitely does not take “No” for an answer.
To-date DionX has appeared in/on:-
The Morning Show (CH 7, Australia)
E/N:
So heres a bit about a very aspiring and inspiring Young man who has lived and looks to continue to live a 'Life'... that is true to his heart and soul, no matter the adversity... I know I wish him the best of luck...
You can also catch Dion X on air THIS FRIDAY the 22nd of July in an interview with Geoff Field, I personally look forward to listening to it...:)
For more information on Dion you can visit his website Dion X Music
New Zealand born singer/songwriter DionX has come a long way from a shy schoolboy, treading the boards as a young performer in his hometown of Palmerston North.
DionX has always had a strong creative streak.
His experience and interests have covered, script-writing, modeling, acting, fashion design, upholstery, web and graphic design. As a result, he is also a self-confessed work-aholic and an impatient perfectionist.
Music remains his first love and he has worked hard on his craft as a singer/songwriter and performer to be now co-producing his own material and working with international award winning producers.
DionX' career has spanned over several mediums such as music, television and live performances across Australia and New Zealand. But DionX' big break came while appearing in the TVNZ reality show 'Make or Break'. Show-casing his performing talent, but also his ability to be resourceful and demonstrate brilliant business acumen, as he single-handedly and pro-actively managed his own segment overseeing all aspects of production - PR/film-crew/venue etc on a budget of NZ$300.00.
Proving huge budgets are not the be all and end all to a projects success.
Soon after the 'Big Break' aired, DionX was on a plane and on his way to Australia where he continued to write and produce his own music as well as performing at local venues and community events, with more film/TV appearances such as the feature film 'The Extra'.
Musically DionX draws influences from artists such as Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Robbie Williams. 
When asked what it is about these artists he likes he replies; 'All these artists are great performers and entertainers as well as formidable business entrepreneurs and they all show great admiration, respect and humility to their loyal fans. They inspire me to keep doing what I love everyday. Being on stage and performing is what I live for, it's where I find inner peace'.
DionX is most definitely a driven, ambitious entrepreneur who has achieved amazing results in the face of adversity and all the countless pit-falls this industry is known for.
Self-made talent is rare, making DionX even more unique. Few have lasted this long and DionX is one who definitely does not take “No” for an answer.
