We’re starting a new revolution here at Pretty Darn Fit. A movement for the strong, bold and beautiful women who’ve got their own. Women who’ve got their priorities straight and their goals locked down. Those who do not need anyone to rise above the challenges but have no problem lifting others up with them. Welcome to the WWDMvmnt.
Inez Galvez, a Filipina designer and artist based in NYC started Revel Wear and has since brought her eclectic style to the booming athletic fashion space.
Known for its unique personality, the women’s line of clothing takes you anywhere from a sweat sesh to a meeting or even a night out. Revel takes the concept of athleisure up a notch with refreshing designs that cater to the dynamic styles of the women that inspire them and are inspired by them. Have a look at the brand’s website and you’ll find modern, chic yet stylish pieces that stand out but are still absolutely wearable.
Inez, a graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, went through the usual highs and lows of being in Fashion Design. She interned for brands such as Mama Clothing (now MISSonMedia) and BCBG’s high-end RTW lines–Herve Leger, Max Azria and BCBG Runway.
Her great move to New York began when designer Yigal Azruel chose her to help develop his SS12 womenswear line, menswear line, and contemporary line, CUT 25. Inez continued to juggle things, working with ERIN BARR and Karmaloop as she also started EZ-Threadz–her line of transformable accessories, which plans to grow into a contemporary line of clothing in the near future.
Born a California girl.
Currently an artist in New York.
But always with the pride (and mighty heart) of a Filipina.
