PETITE FASHIONISTA (June 22, 2008) - Page 3

TLE Designs (pronounced "T-Lay") is a new petite clothing line for women 5'4" and under based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The line features dresses and tops with a hip, contemporary vibe for the modern woman who has the panache to incorporate prints and colour into her wardrobe. TLE Designs also offers an array of vibrant headbands and fabric belts for the modern fashionista. Each item is hand-made and available in limited amounts making each piece chic and unique. TLE Designs sells to both retail (via the website, www.tledesigns.com) and wholesale customers. The line is currently being carried by several boutiques in Chattanooga, TN and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Atlanta, GA.

When I asked Teresa Le, the founder of TLE Designs what she thought of the Petite Fashionista event, she replied "This is a great opportunity to get the word out in the petite community that there are petite designers who specialize in styles that are cosmopolitan and current... You shouldn't have to sacrifice fashion because you're petite". For more information on TLE Designs please visit their website at www.tledesigns.com and if you have any questions about their product line you can send an email to info@tledesigns.com.


Mimi+You is a passionate, creative and inspirational brand that commits to create only "One of a Kind" necklaces. Like snowflakes, no two necklaces will be alike, not unlike the women who inspire the designs. Mimi+You was created in 2005 by sisters Mitra and Mina Mortazavi. Inspired by their travels, art and culture and strong women, the sisters seek to offer statement pieces for women who want to stand out in the crowd. The pieces are high-end and made for high power and creative women.

The full list of MiMi+You Fall 2008 Collections includes:


Russian Royalty: inspired by rocker & medieval styles, this line will feature zipper chokers with faux fur, lace, studs & chain indicative of Russian royalty, strong femininity & goth trends.
