Liria Mersini is The Curvy Counselor

Equal parts fashion fairy-godmother and fashion police, Liria Mersini is a style and body-image guru who's broken the mold in fashion. She speaks to real women with real curves about developing real style.

After making her mark as a plus size clothing designer and manufacturer in the 1990s, Liria served as a style editor and columnist for New York Times subsidiary About.com. A career combination that includes fashion journalism, marketing and PR as well as fashion design and manufacturing gives Liria a unique blend of industry credentials and a refreshing perspective on the business of fashion and style.

You'll find her brand of smart, savvy empowerment in fashion segments and cultural commentary on The Today Show, Your World with Neil Cavuto, iVillageLive! and in print publications nationwide.

Liria works personally with a select group of clients to build style and self-esteem. She has created TheCurvyCounselor.com and CurvyCounselor.com to share her years of knowledge and experience with you.

So if you've got curves, The Curvy Counselor is here for you!
