2023-10-18 09:02:44

At 1.53m tall, Martinican Méghane Monatus does not want small women to be forgotten in the fashion sector. She fights to give them visibility as models. To do this, she abandoned her job as a graphic designer and became a fashion designer for petite women.

Throughout her childhood, Méghane hears comments that exclude short women from an aesthetic and sartorial world. “I heard my mother say oh you have to be tall to wear that. That meant that for us who were small, it was niet.” A trend that is confirmed when she watches fashion shows: “I didn’t understand why we show tall women, curvy women and not short women. I saw that there was real discrimination once morest short women.”

“Why can’t we who are little wear these kinds of dresses?”. And since no one is ever as well served as by themselves, Méghane sets out to remedy this problem. She, the artist of the family who was already designing clothes at a young age without knowing that one day she would become a fashion designer. She throws herself headlong into what becomes a real fight for her. To start, she asks herself what she would like to find in stores for petite women like her.

“I make custom-made clothes and jewelry, I have my workshop where I receive my clients.” And every time Méghane creates a collection, she ensures that her clothes are worn by petite women. She is convinced that we need fashion that makes women and men want to love themselves as they are without worrying regarding the beauty criteria that society imposes, a fashion “in the service of human beings and not the other way around”.
