Le Belle Moi Designer Ronita Wheatfall of Le Belle Moi loves everything about fashion. “The colors, the shapes, the attitude, the walks, the make-up, the people, the rush!” by Bria Anderson | photos by Robert Silver he simply loves it all! Growing up, Ronita hated the way her mother dressed her and made her outfits match. During high school, she began to really concentrate on how different she always wanted to look, which she reasons as, “the need to be different.” Ronita Wheatfall is from Oakland California, by way of Berkeley. Ronita says, “Berkeley stands on it’s own. Eclectic, original, and smart; I love the individuality that this city promotes. It helped mold me into the woman I am.” Later in life, Ronita started Le Belle Moi. The meaning behind Le Belle Moi is, “The beautiful me.” Ronita creates clothing for real women. She shared, “If you see my show, I have models from size 00 to 26. Short and tall; everyone is beautiful in their own skin. Just because you are 5’4” does not mean you cannot rock the runway. In fact my model Ijeoma (the runway diva) being a size 22, can out walk anyone! I also wanted clothes that fit me. My waist is a size 7 and bottom is a size 12; no one makes clothes like that!” Ronita describes herself as “a fashion junky!” She enjoys touching the fabrics, listening to textures, sketching the looks, discovering the shapes, sewing, and dressing the models. She loves to mix and match prints and colors that are not normally matched.
