Remi Ray London is a cutting edge plus-size fashion brand, based in London. Led by the inspiring self-entitled founder Remi Ray, also known for her pioneering mind-set which at the tender age of 23 erupted the European plus-size fashion wave. She created the award winning British Plus-size fashion weekend, where she was also nominated by Cosmopolitan Magazine UK in 2014 & 2015 for the body confidence award for her contribution to the plus-size world. Remi Ray London encapsulates a fashionista with a split personality that craves classic pieces but treasures style.
Here at Remi Ray London we offer reinvented classics using modern techniques and wardrobe essentials that we cannot live without. Our vice is to create collections that are made to not only last beyond one season but are also bold and inspiring with great attention to detail and quality.
The brand ‘Remi Ray London’ has been bubbling away with some of the most influential plus-size models and bloggers of the world, which has helped to shape their vision for what was not being offered to plus-size shoppers.
Being a plus-size woman herself Remi Ray understands the journey plus-size women endure each time they go shopping. She uses this energy to translate her desire to change the attitudes towards plus-size women with each piece from her collections. While many brands think fashion is just about producing, Remi Ray London takes the time to understand the functional needs of plus-size women and sprinkles each piece with Love.
