Missphit – plus size fashion with a
difference
a name to
look out for in 2007
|
by
Sarah Testa
 Over the course of
maintaining Pasazz.net, the site has given me the
opportunity to get to know a lot of interesting people who are involved
in the plus size clothing scene in some way. Be it fashion designers,
models and writers. Lately I have been lucky enough to get to know Yul
Kwon, who has introduced to what I am sure will become one of the
leading plus size fashion labels in 2007, Missphit.
 Yul Kwon, managing director at Missphit
introduced me to this plus size
fashion line which is based in Los Angeles, California; a trendy line
made for the plus size woman who is fashion forward in her style, yet
selective with her fit. Missphit styles come from a team of talented
designers who constantly search the world for ideas that keep them
ahead if the ever changing junior fashions. Missphit emphasizes a
higher quality in materials and construction with a
designer’s eye for detail. This is a line that listens to
what the unique plus size girls wants!
I was happy to come across such a fashion forward
label, whose passion for the plus size fashion scene is obvious and
evident when looking at the gorgeous style it offers. I was able to
confirm this further when taking a first hand look at some of the
Missphit styles. Here is a brief review of the styles I was able to try
out, which will give you a good idea of the quality and style Missphit
offers plus size women.
A top I fell in love with is the one pictured here on the right. With a
strong oriental look, this kimono style of top is currently very much
in vogue. The strech material of the bodice give this top a very
comfortable fit, while hugging the curves for a perfect shape. The
silky, oriental printed material, feel wonderful to the touch! I
received a lot of compliments when wearing this top, and some
friends couldn't resist taking a feel of the material. It looks and
feel very smooth and silky. This kind of top is perfect as it is very
versatile, and therefore can be worn with many outfits and in different
occasions. For instance, I easily wore this with sexy hugging jeans and
high heels, for a casual and yet sophisticated look. However this top
works very well also when coupled with a dark skirt, for a more formal
look perhaps.
 Another versatile top from Missphit,
pictured here on the left, again
comes in an oriental Kimono style. This time round however, this Kimono
styled top comes in a chiffon material and is worn 'robe style' with a
dark tank top underneath. The white floral detail gives this
top added character. For
a casual look this top is very easily worn with a pair of dark denim
jeans and a stylish pair of shoes. A more formal look can be achieved
by
pairing this top up with black trousers, or a hugging dark
skirt. I love how this top flows freely, as it feels
extremely comfortable, and that is something I always look for in
clothing I wear. The aura this top creates is one of flamoyant flair.
Further Missphit styles are pictured below, which give you a good idea
of the items Missphit carries.
One thing I noticed from the tops I had a look at, is the evident
quality of the clothing. It is obvious that each and every top was
created with dedication and care. The fabric used and workmanship
scteams quality. A tiny, yet important, detail which
caught my eye was the cute and colorful label attached to all the tops.
It is sparkly and includes the Missphit flowers, which feature in
Missphit's logo. What's so special about a label you might ask?
Well to me, making an effort to make something so small look
so cute and stand out, assures me that the same care and effort was
also put into creating all the Missphit styles.
I recently also had a look at Missphit's Spring 2007 collection, and so
far
everything looks great! Missphit will definitely be a plus size fashion
line we will be keeping an eye on in 2007 as it is set for success.
Hopefully we will have the chance to take a closer look at some of
these Springs styles also, and give you an run down of them. Although I
am sure
nothing but good stuff is available at Missphit.
A Missphit website is in the pipeline, and should be launced soon. The
website will give you all a chance to get a look yourselves at the
stylish plus size fashion offered by Missphit. We will definitely keep
you
updated on the progress of the website, and will let you know once it
is officially launched.
In the meantime, look out for the Missphit name when shopping around at
plus size boutiques online and a Dillards stores. You will be hearing
more news from Missphit on Pasazz.net!
