Ralph Lauren – they do offer plus size clothing
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
There’s a lot of hubbub over Ralph Lauren taking an already anorexic woman and Photoshopping her image beyond all reasonable proportions, as seen here. This may be a message about the RL attitude towards women’s bodies. It might just be a sign someone is really bad at Photoshop and there was only so much... »
Igigi: Explorations in visual beauty
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Despite my recent wedding dress disappointment (as those of you who follow my Twitter know about) I remain a fan of Igigi and the message sent via clothing and style. The above is part of their newest marketing campaign, using a beautiful plus model to explore new concepts in beauty. Given the recent studies on... »
Blazers, vests and sweaters

The belted top layer for plus size
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
I’m seeing a big push for these belted tops in some of the trendier plus size stores, and I like the look, but I’m not sure it’s a workable look for all body types. Possibly an hourglass shape could work these, and a pear – but for those who are bustier, I can see... »
