LOS ANGELES—Award-winning BBW fetish model and performer Kelly Shibari will model SpareParts HardWear’s plus-size line at this year’s International Lingerie Show.
ILS takes place Sept. 23-25 at the Rio Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
“I’m honored to be asked to be a live model for SpareParts’ plus size harnesses at ILS,” Shibaro said. “I look forward to helping retailers understand the comfort, fit, and luxurious design details that exist in SpareParts harnesses, specifically for the plus-size market.”
The SpareParts team will be on hand to meet with retailers at the Entrenue booth 515. Shibari will be on hand in the early afternoons Monday and Tuesday to model the plus-size Bella Harness for retailers and to answer questions regarding fit and functionality. Entrenue is the exclusive U.S. distributor for SpareParts HardWear.
Shibari is also the promotional face for the plus-size line and will be showcased on product boxes and promotional and marketing materials.
SpareParts’ couture lingerie harnesses, which premiered at the 2012 ILS, met with resounding acclaim by retailers and distributors alike.
“The first time I saw these harnesses, I was completely blown away!” said Coyote Days, purchasing manager for Good Vibrations. “Not only are they functional, but they’re comfortable and incredibly stylish aka hot!”
SpareParts HardWear creates beautiful and stylish harnesses, versatile and suitable for a variety of uses and types of functionality. The harnesses are fashionable, sexy, and comfortable; each and every harness is hand crafted using high quality materials. SpareParts HardWear makes harnesses to suit the wearer, whatever the size or shape. Proprietary to SpareParts is their revolutionary fit instructional video, which allows wearers to properly select the proper fit not only to match a numerical clothing size, but also for the kind of body shape they embody. All SpareParts HardWear products are proudly made in the USA and come with a warranty.
“We always have a wonderful time at ILS,” said SpareParts HardWear founder Tres. “We love chatting with retailers, both established and new, about our lingerie harnesses. This year, rather than use a plus-size mannequin, we invite retailers to stop by the Entrenue booth to see Kelly in our harnesses, and to inquire as to how our products can be best marketed to plus-size consumers.”
“We are absolutely thrilled to now be offering the Bella Harness from SpareParts,” said Entrenue President Joe Casella. “We are such a huge fan of the SpareParts brand, and of Tres in particular, with her vision, consistency and passion to improve lives sparing no detail along the way. We know the Bella Harness was a labor of love, and the end result is nothing short of spectacular—bringing high fashion, sex appeal, and positive body image together in this amazing design.”
SpareParts HardWear harnesses are available nationwide as well as in Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Carribean, and are regularly cited as retailers’ top selling harnesses.
Currently, SpareParts offers plus size variations for its bold and athletic Tomboi, and two styles from its Couture Lingerie harness line—the Bella Harness and the Sasha—which both feature removable garters in addition to the classic O-ring. The Joque, Deuce and Theo harnesses also come in plus sizes.
