Bella Linea New York announced the debut of a new line of women's clothing designed, manufactured and supplied in New York. The brand's line of career and evening-wear is designed to flatter and shape the real American woman. Each Bella Linea garment is constructed with a built-in shaping liner to smooth the waistline and create a feminine shape. The inner liner is constructed using specialty, breathable fabric that constricts where needed on the body.
The collection also supports New York's fashion economy. Bella Linea founders believe in the importance of promoting and preserving New York's rich heritage in the fashion industry. Co-founder, Stephanie Reilly, a fresh-on-the-scene fashion designer and recent Fashion Institute of Technology graduate has resided in New York City for the past three years after expanding her Southern California jewelry business.In addition, Co-founder and investor, Gina Ciafone has helped to support New York businesses for over 20 years, providing more than 500 jobs in Brooklyn through Broadway Stages, one of New York City's largest full-service film & television and music video production facilities. After working together at Broadway Stages, Reilly and Ciafone decided to collaborate on a new clothing line for the woman who always wants to look movie-ready.The duo is passionate about supporting empowered women through their wardrobe. Ciafone says, "A Bella Linea dress will be the go-to piece in any woman's closet because it flatters and supports the body in ways regular clothing does not."Videos
