The fourth Designer to walk for Nolcha’s One To Watch show was Chèlbè which means well dressed in Haitian. Chèlbè was founded by Diana Delva who grew up in Stamford Connecticut where she reached the height of 6’1” by age fourteen. It was struggling through this awkward age at 6’1” that inspired Diana to create Chèlbè a line of clothing specifically created for women who are 5’11” or taller. Models that stand 6’ or taller walked in the show further emphasizing the essence of the brand. Creating stylish and uncomplicated clothing for the tall woman who can often find it difficult to find fashionable clothes was a dilemma Diana understood well, and with her label Chèlbè she is meeting a need that is so often over looked. To read more her  head to her site Chelbefashions.com or Nolchashows/Chelbe.

  6. I love the name of this label and the meaning as well. And it’s really cool that Diana specializes in fashions for tall ladies as they are often a forgotten segment of the fashion market.

  7. I love that her line is targeted towards tall women. My girl cousin is 5’11 which might be a normal height for Westerners but as an Asian woman, she struggled finding clothes back in Malaysia. She’s living in Australia now so shopping for clothes is heavenly. LOL!
