Global Fashion Technologies Inc Enters The Activewear Market with Supermodel EMME

Parsippany,NJ, Feb. 17, 2016 -- Parsippany, New Jersey, Feb. 17, 2016 -- Global Fashion Technologies Inc. (OTC: GFTI) is pleased to announce it has completed a license agreement with EMME, the market pioneer and trusted voice of the “Full-Figured” market. Under this licensing agreement GFTI, will design, produce and market the EMME® Activewear Collection to the grossly under-served 100 million women representing the 67% of full figured women within the US and Canada.

“EMME will be a “Trail Blazer” in the Full-Figured Activewear Category. This strategic agreement supports our overall corporate commitment to the active apparel segment” said Chris Giordano, Chairman and President of Global. It provides us with the strength to truly address the nearly forgotten needs of two thirds of the US women’s market that fall within the full-figured category.

Utilizing EMME’s celebrity status whom is considered to be the ambassador of the full-figured category will allow us to address the market with a highly credible brand that speaks to all woman. EMME's reputation, accomplishments and history resonates with women across the entire spectrum no matter what their size is.

The recent decision for Sports Illustrated to feature full-figured Ashley Graham on the cover of one of the three “Swimsuit” issues brings true focus and testament to the category's importance for both its beauty and relevance.

With the release of the EMME activewear line we look to reinvent the science of fit. We start the design process with the average female size – US size 12-16 while considering the diversity of the female form. We then grade up and down each size, shape, and proportion to create the absolute best fit and style for all women. The EMME® Active Collection will address both core performance and “ath-leisure” fashion product and inline with EMME®’s desire to create an inclusive product line for all women.

In staying true to EMME®'s vision, we are truly committed to create the absolute best fit by boldly stepping out of the typical boxy/one shape-for-all full figured fit, affording us to create what's best for our customer's body shape and active lifestyle need. We expect to release the EMME active wear line in the fall of 2016 concluded Giordano”

“My partnership with GFTI is a dream come true said EMME. As a very active woman, I am psyched to create the stylish, structurally supportive and lifestyle driven EMME® Active Collection for millions of women who want to feel the joy of fitness and health each and every day of their lives.”

“Graj + Gustavsen (G+G) is excited to have worked on the licensing platform for EMME and to have signed on GFTI as our activewear licensee said Scott Todd, SVP of Licensing at G+G”. Their expertise in the plus size market makes GFTI a perfect partner to design, produce and distribute a high quality line of activewear that is stylized and more important follows a fit system for the underserved full-figured woman in this space”.
