The design duo behind the brand is a mother/daughter team that draws inspiration from their family's roots in Barbados and their own desire for unapologetically sexy clothes.In addition to showing up on this past season's American Idol (as worn by Jordin and Melinda), Monif C has made a big splash in such magazines as Cosmo, Essence & Gamour, and on TLC's fashion makeover show, What Not to Wear.
