Meet the Designing Duo Behind the Collaborative Collection

If Kayne's name sounds familiar, it should! He is a Project Runway superstar as well as a designer to national pageant winners and celebrities like Dolly Parton and Reva McIntyre.

For this collection, Kayne teamed up with Phyllis Brasch Librach, the head designer at Sydney’s Closet. She has more than a decade of experience creating Prom, Wedding and Evening gowns exclusively for curvy teens and women who wear plus sizes 14 to 40. And Librach just received a Lifetime Achievement Award for her contributions to the full-figured fashion industry.

Together, the designing duo brings more than three decades of experience creating  special occasion dresses to teens and women, That rich experience gives them exceptional insight and knowledge into dressing  a curvy customer for once-in-a lifetime events like Prom, weddings, military balls, black tie affairs, family celebrations, formal dances, Hollywood award shows and cruises.

They know firsthand that every woman dreams of having her red-carpet moment when elegance is a fashionable look and an attitude.  

In four short seasons, the pair has shaken up - in a very positive way - the fashion choices women with real curves can – and can’t - wear to formal and semi-formal events.

Their collaborative collection has elevated the options for plus size evening wear to new heights of glamour, drama and magic. And, at the same time, the styles still manage to keep that all-important stronghold on a fit that flatters a fuller figure.

“I just adore seeing the change when a woman puts on a formal evening gown that exquisitely frames and flatter her curves,’’ says Kayne. “In a split second, she is standing taller, moving with greater grace and smiling with the confidence of knowing she looks glamorous.”

Kayne and Librach make a difference because they create an evening wear collection for confident plus-size women with exquisite taste in fashion for formal events.  Their aesthetic reimagines classic styling with a modern, fresh twist.
