"Designer Nyki Allen and models walk the runway for Gyv Me Body at Miami Swim Week powered by Art Hearts Fashion Swim/Resort 2018/19 at Faena Forum in Miami Beach, Florida."

"Finally, Miami Swim Week powered by Art Hearts Fashion gave the limelight to designers live Nyki Allen, whose collection Gyv Me Body was born with the understanding that real women have curves and caters to the reality of all women no matter their shape or size."

" My biggest battle with the Gyv Me Body brand is that I cater to most sizes. In my industry, they do not want to see full figured models on the runway. If they allow you to showcase on plus sized models, they will limit the number of models or how they look or even what they wear. Then there’s another group in the fashion industry that only wants you to show plus sizes. My brand is all inclusive. I will not separate the models and I want them all on my runway and catalog. It’s a battle, but I will not stop the fight."
