About
Us
Tall
Couture is the hip, new fashion resource designed exclusively for tall
women, with a carefully selected collection of distinctive women's clothing
and accessories.
No
one understands the needs of Tall women better than Tall Couture. The
site was conceived by two six-foot tall sisters who have experienced
first-hand the frustration of shoes that are too small, pants that are
too short, dresses and shirts with waists that sit around our ribs and
sleeves that fall inches above our wrists. It's time for a change and
a new and unique vision of Tall fashion, beauty and confidence.
Our
mission is to create a world where tall women can feel confident, beautiful
and sexy, both inside and out, through its products, its people, its
service, its style and its spirit. It is not just about following a
trend (even though we love to play with funky new styles!). It is about
having choices and creating an individual style that makes your world
work for you.
Tall
Couture recognizes and embraces the relationship between the business
organization and its global community. We support organizations that
protect the environment and fight for equality, diversity, education
and human rights. We intend to do our part to better the lives of those
in need, in this country and around the world.
Who
are we?
Jennifer
and Rebecca grew up in and around NYC, each following a different path
in life and developing individual areas of expertise that complement
each other and form a synergy that works perfectly.
Jennifer,
our CEO, is the marketing and operations director. Jennifer did her
undergraduate work at SUNY Oswego and shortly after, moved to Colorado
to ski. She spent 3 years working in the ski industry, during which
time she also earned her MBA in Marketing and Finance from the University
of Denver. In 1995, Jennifer joined Carter Marketing Group, a marketing
consulting firm whose clients include MCI (now Qwest), British Telecom
and telecommunications companies around the globe. Her tenure at CMG
took Jennifer to London for three years and South Carolina for one before
returning to New York to pursue a freelance career.
Rebecca
is our Chief Style Guru. As an actress and model, Rebecca finds herself
in the thick of the fashion scene. She has a great personal style and
creativity that is reflected in our line. Rebecca earned her BFA in
Theatre from West Virginia University. She continued her education at
the School for Film and Television in Manhattan, graduating from their
two year conservatory program in 2001. Pounding the pavement for auditions
and go-sees gave Rebecca first hand experience in NYC's fashion and
entertainment industry. She brings that insight as well as her own unique
style to all of the creative work at Tall Couture.
