Melissa McCarthy Designs for Women to “Feel Good About Themselves”

Actress Melissa McCarthy is launching her own clothing line – Melissa McCarthy Seven7 with Sunrise Brands – and she has explained that she is designing to make women feel good about themselves. Melissa says she hopes the new plus sized line will encourage women to feel fashionable and confident, while allowing them to experiment with their own fashion sense and enjoy the process of dressing up. She commented:

”I want women to get dressed every day and feel good about themselves. I don’t care what it is, if it’s dyeing your hair blue, if it’s a sweater, whatever you want to do, if it makes you feel good and empowered, I stand behind it 100 percent. And if I can be a little tiny block on that wall, I’d be proud of that.”

Melissa thinks women shouldn’t wear the same thing time and time again, because fashion should be about trying out new looks and having fun with different style experiments. She personally hates to get into a rut and is always picking up new pieces to try out, particularly vintage items that are quite unique because she loves variation in her wardrobe:

”I just don’t believe in a uniform. I think if people have it and they love it, great, but I think people get into a rut and I’ve always been someone who gets a kick out of dressing. I like vintage, I can never pick one style. I like a little blouse that looks great with a pencil skirt but then the next day I can wear it with ripped jeans and boots. I’m trying to give women a closet that gives them some variety.”
