Spotlight on "Mélanie Dion"..DYI

Le mouvement ‘Queen Sized Flava…Made in Montreal’ a pour but de promouvoir la mode de grande taille sous tous ses angles et sur tous ses styles. C’est pourquoi je tenais absolument Ă  faire un billet sur MĂ©lanie Dion qui est l’essence mĂŞme de ce que le mouvement QSF cherche Ă  faire connaĂ®tre. J’ai rencontrĂ© MĂ©lanie alors que j’assistais un concert de musique alternative. Elle portait une coiffure hallucinante fait de dreads synthĂ©tiques multicolores et Ă©tait vĂŞtue d’une tenue que je n’avais jamais vue auparavant et dĂ©gageait une telle assurance. J’ai presque eu Ă  la suivre toute la soirĂ©e pour rĂ©ussir Ă  lui parler parce qu’elle Ă©tait toujours en train de danser. Laissez-moi vous dire qu’elle a de l’Ă©nergie Ă  revendre donc j’ai dĂ» attendre longtemps. Alors, c’est avec plaisir que je vous prĂ©sente MĂ©lanie Dion qui est mannequin, maquilleuse et Ă©galement membre d’un groupe de musique.





The ‘Queen Sized Flava…Made in Montreal‘ is and will always be about promoting plus size fashion in all the possible ways and styles. This being said it brings me to why I wanted to this post about MĂ©lanie Dion which embodies what Queen Sized flava is all about and we want to share with the world. I met MĂ©lanie in an alternative concert and I remember her wearing these colourful synthetic dreads and an outfit that I had never seen before with such confidence. I almost had to follow her around the entire night in order to be able to talk to her. She was all over the dance floor and let me tell the girl can move. Therefore it’s with a pleasure that I’m introducing  to you the make up artist, model and musician MĂ©lanie Dion.     









Voici une petite entrevue avec Mélanie:


I made interview with Mélanie but since it's french here's what it was all about:

Name:Mélanie Dion

Location: Laval, Québec

Occupation: modeling, hair dresser and musician

Style preferences: She appreciates the current trends but clearly states that it's not for her. She describes her styles as D.I.Y "do it yourself" punk rock. Since she knows how to sow it's easy for her to make something out off nothing which is also one the main goal behind the rebel punk rock attitude.

What about being a plus size chick in the punk rock world?: She explained to me that since having a punk rock style is mainly about creating or modifying your clothes size does not matter. 

What makes her beautiful? : She is a colorful person inside out which is the reason why often strangers will randomly approach her.

Where does she shop?: additional, wal-mart. winners, torrid

What does she think about our local plus size fashion ?: Of course, if we compare our self to the Americans he don't have a lot but it's also a duty for the people concerned to voice their opinion about the issues. 




Tous ce que Mélanie porte sur les photos elle l'a fait elle même

Everything Mélanie is wearing on the pictures was made by her

Head Wrap...Maré tèt


I always love wrapping my hair not only when I’m having a bad hair day but whenever I feel like adding a special touch to my outfit. It very simple to do, all you need is a piece of fabric and start wrapping it around your head until it started looking nice.


** ‘MarĂ© tèt’ est la traduction crĂ©ole du terme ‘Head wrap’, en français, on le traduirait par "le port du foulard" mais je n’aime pas vraiment dire ça parce qu’il n’est pas nĂ©cessaire d’utiliser un foulard pour avoir le mĂŞme rĂ©sultat final. **
J'ai toujours aimĂ© faire des ‘MarĂ© tèt’,  pas seulement lorsque ma situation cĂ´tĂ© coiffure est critique,  mais aussi lorsque j’ai envie d'ajouter une touche spĂ©ciale Ă  ma tenue. C’est très simple Ă  faire, il vous suffit d'avoir un morceau de tissu et de le tourner autour de votre tĂŞte jusqu'Ă  ce qu'il commence Ă  former une forme jolie et intĂ©ssante.





Different type of fabric will give different shapes and style to your wrap

Différents types de tissu vont donner différentes types de formes et de look.

You can even make it look high fashion.   
Vous pouvez mĂŞme lui donner  un air très haute couture.
