Tall DOES NOT mean matronly. Tall is SEXY, SASSY and CONFIDENT
Yet, the fashion industry has not done enough to provide fun, fashionable, proportionally-fitting clothing for tall women at a decent price.
That’s why at 79 and Park, we strive to bring you clothing that fits your unique proportions while still remaining in line with current fashion trends.
Now, I can walk into a ballroom in a well-fitting gown that captures everyone’s attention – not only because of my height, but because of the beauty and confidence that comes from wearing a stunning, tailored dress (or outfit).
That inspires me to stand taller than ever – and I hope our clothing will do the same for you.
My WHY for starting this brand is to give more tall women these moments of sheer grace.
Many of you share my experiences and I want to empower you to feel as good as you look when standing head and shoulders above a crowd.
… To feel glamorous knowing you are wearing clothing that is stylish, comfortable, and affordable all without sacrificing fit.
… And to embrace your beauty, confidently expressed through your clothing.
Why the name 79 and Park?
I proudly stand 6’7’’ or 79 inches. (I was also born in 1979). My last name is Park. Put those together and you not only have a brand, but you have a movement that seeks to redefine fashion for tall women.
Now, we’re 79 and Park- Taking Fashion To New Heights.
(And we promise to never, ever ask you what "the weather's like up there.")
This is my story, and the story of 79 and Park:
My name is Tayyiba Haneef-Park. I’m a three-time Olympian and founder of 79 and Park.
Standing 6’7, I understand the unique challenge of finding proportionally fitting clothing as a tall woman.
I have been the girl who couldn’t find jeans long enough, so I had to wear men’s.
​
I have been the girl who went to prom in a floor length dress that only reached my shins.
​
I have been the girl standing on an Olympic podium in too-short pants.
I have been the girl that wondered when someone would design something that fits me.
My personal struggles, and those of my teammates of similar height, have made one thing clear: tall, stylish women deserve better choices.
So I created 79 and Park, to help women 6’0 and above showcase the best of their height while helping them look and feel amazing head to toe (… and stop wondering “Should this dress be shin or maxi length!?)
