Designer fashion isn’t limited smaller sizes, if you’re curvy there’s plenty of incredible names that specialise in dressing for killer curves.
In fact, this year has seen a rise in well-known designers aiming to cater for plus size
figures. Michael Kors have already launched collections which accommodate for plus size figures. Likewise, it has been revealed that Prabal Gurung is launching a plus size range in
collaboration with Lane Bryant, which is set to be released in March
2017.
From flamboyant designs to more demure pieces, there are designer collections to suit every taste and style. Plus size designers work hard to create clothing that accentuates all the right places and makes you look and feel fabulous!
