Rafaella® Partners With Bottomless Closet
May 23 2018 - 9:00AM
(Nasdaq:PERY)—Rafaella® today launched a charitable partnership
with Bottomless Closet, an organization that provides disadvantaged
New York City women with the tools they need to reenter the
workforce, as well as provides ongoing support and education to
help them succeed in their professional lives.
“This is a great opportunity for the Rafaella brand to provide
apparel to a very worthy cause, which complements their message of
empowerment and confidence,” stated Oscar Feldenkreis, Perry Ellis
International CEO and President. This collaboration reinforces the
brand’s commitment to diversity and confidence building. Rafaella
will help women in need by donating work appropriate attire
throughout the year in order to help women secure professional
opportunities.
“Thanks to the generosity of brands like Rafaella, we can dress
the women we serve for the most critically important days of their
lives,” said Bottomless Closet Executive Director Melissa Norden.
“The right interview outfit is hugely important – not just for
making a good first impression, but for instilling self-assurance
and a sense of capability in these women when they need it most.
The pieces that we’ve received as a part of this donation will no
doubt help them start the next chapter.”
Rafaella offers a full range of lifestyle apparel including
figure-flattering designs, with easy care and innovative fabrics
available in sizes from 4 to 22. “Rafaella embraces working women
in every shape, style, and life to look professional while feeling
their best. Our partnership with Bottomless Closet reinforces the
Rafaella mission as an inclusive brand and we’re happy to support
women getting back into the workforce after facing personal
struggles,” stated Denise Miller, President of Rafaella.
