BEHIND THE BRAND Jean Marc Philippe Jean Marc Philippe Family-run fashion from the capital city of chic
BEHIND THE BRAND Jean Marc Philippe It all began with a phone call In Paris in 1975, the three Menni brothers opened their first fashion boutique which they bestowed with their names: Jean Marc Philippe. Six years later, the siblings received a telephone call that would change the path of the company forever. It was a German customer who contacted the owners with hopes of convincing them to specialise in plus size fashion. The business concept fell upon fertile ground at the beginning of the 1980 s, satisfying a niche that already showed a promising future in Germany. The French founders were excited about the new idea, and the former customer still acts as a wholesale dealer for what has become a major fashion company.

BEHIND THE BRAND Jean Marc Philippe Summer Collection 2012 The current collection embodies a turning point in the history of the company.

Jean Marc Philippe Women who wear plus sizes should no longer need to envy the wide assortment of fashion available to slimmer women. Jean Marc Philippe now offers the variety that we wish for: it ranges from girly looks to those that are ethnic-inspired and even covers colour blocking you find fashion to satisfy every woman s taste. The latest collection is more than just trendy, it is also ultra figure flattering and enchants with its lightweight and fluid materials. Shop Jean Marc Philippe now

The outfits are great everyday-wear, yet still stylish. How fantastic to see those kinds of combinations on real women! Dear Lisa, We are glad to hear that you liked the topic!
