Plus Size Fall Fashion, A Look Behind the Scenes

Friday, September 19th, 2008 | plus size fashion, plus size fashion designers with 1 Comment

Zahir Babvani, VP of Design, OneStopPlusZahir Babvani, Vice President of Design at OneStopPlus, reveals how the fashion collections are born, in the short interview below.

Q: You are actually making recommendation for Fall 2009 right now. How do you forecast so far in advance?
A: Well, fashion actually begins with Color & Fabric, which gets created 1 to 2 years in advance. So, I work with European color forecast services that set the trends for the upcoming seasons. I also attend fabric shows here in New York and in Paris which give us the direction that fabric will be going. Our design team adapts this information for each brand, focusing on their individual customers.

Q: But what about styles? How is that done?
A: We focus on the major trends in fashion that evolve from season to season. For example, the Global trend has been around for a few seasons now, each season has a new place of inspiration. We see it continue going forward, this time with a more Russian influence. With trends, it’s most important to stay true to the customer and not force a trend that isn’t right for her.

Q: How about plus-size fashion? Do you feel it keeps up with the trends?
A: One of our strongest efforts is to make sure we offer our customers the latest trends. We feel that being plus-size is not a restriction to being on trend. It’s not about size, but about attitude. Having a positive attitude is all you need to look good, and we design our collections with this mindset of not limiting our customer.

Back to School Fashion at Torrid

Monday, September 8th, 2008 | plus size clothing, plus size fashion with No Comments »

Hear that bell ringing in the distance? Yep, it’s that time of year again… summer is just about over and it’s time to get back to school (and work!).  And whether you’re shopping for yourself or for your teenage daughter, you know that stocking up to go back to school (or back to work) can be a real drain on your bank account. But not when everything is on sale! Torrid has tons of adorable plus sized clothes and trendy accessories on sale.

I’ve been buying tons of purple to stock up for autumn (I love it and it’s supposed to be an on-trend color this season), and so am in love with the Purple Serina Peeptoe Flats. Just think how cute they’ll look when I’m carrying around this Colormix Clutch Bag.

Get Some Fresh Looks for Fall

Autumn is coming and it’s time to start vamping up your cool-weather wardrobe. And there’s no better place to do it than at IGIGI. Because at their online store, they have a ton of just-in Autumn styles that will make you feel perfectly happy to banish the sun and surf until next year.

My favorite piece in IGIGI’s new autumn collection? The Bridgette Mod Dress in black, grey, and red. The boat neckline is so flattering and pretty, and the soft vertical red stripe is wonderfully slimming.  Just too cool and pretty.

Want to totally make yourself over for Autumn? Don’t forget to enter IGIGI’s $500 Makeover Mania Sweepstakes. One lucky winner will win a fashion and style consultation, where you’ll receive advice on dressing your body shape and help with your overall style… plus a gift certificate good for $500!  It’s easy to enter, so check it out at the IGIGI website.

Adorable New Dresses Just in at Torrid

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 | plus size dress, plus size fashion with No Comments »

Okay, I’m going to risk sounding like a broken record here and say… I love when the seasons change! Autumn isn’t even here yet, and the new styles coming in at all the stores are making me ache for cooler weather - so I can wear some of autumn’s cutest new trends. Case in point? Torrid’s just-arrived Black and Purple Plaid Chiffon Secretary Dress with the flattering high-waisted skirt and oh-so-sexy silhouette.  Must… have… it…

Plus, Torrid in now accepting Paypal for payment! And while for some the major appeal is that you can feel your purchases are super secure, for others (like me!) it’s all in the secrecy. Because if you have a little Paypal money sitting around from selling all your old “Heart” tapes on eBay, you can spend as much of it as you like on super cute clothes, and no one who shares your bank account need be the wiser…

Just practice saying it with me: “What? This old thing?”

Tailored Chic and Sexy Plus Size Trends

Thursday, July 24th, 2008 | plus size cothing, plus size fashion with No Comments »

You’re going to love Torrid’s new collection of tailored, sexy, and oh-so-trendy items. Called An American Girl in Paris, this collection is just what it sounds: casual, sophisticated, and “what? This old thing?” sexy.

The biggest features of this collection are nautical themed patterns, fun accessories, and clean, elegant lines. It’s one of those collections where everything in it goes well with everything else - and all of it is gorgeous. My only problem is that I can’t decide between the little red bolero and the more understated denim one. I didn’t even know I liked boleros until I saw this collection! Maybe I should get them both… they’ll both look great with the Navy Blue and White Nautical Boho bag!

Go check it out. You don’t need to own a yacht to look, well… yacht-hot. (Sorry. Bad joke.)
