Clinton Kelly, a style guru and co-host of TLC’s television show “What Not To Wear” was in Seattle recent hosting a plus size fashion show. That is where Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter D. Parvaz caught up with him to talk about the plus size clothing industry, and also to see what tips the fashion guru would give plus size women, as regards fashion and clothing of course.
What Kelly emphasised most on is the fact that full figured women should go for plus size clothes which have a great fit and structure. “A woman shouldn’t wear anything that resembles a tent of any kind, because that makes her look bigger. Instead, what you should do is look for clothes that have great fit and structure,” said Kelly.
Kelly also emphasised the fact that women over size 14 can absolutely participate in fashion trends!

Yes we do! And why do we… you might ask? Well recently J.K., the best selling writer of the Harry Potter series of books, has criticised within her website the ultra-skinny models that practically infest the media. J.K. describes them as “empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones”.
“The best-selling writer said she was prompted to write about the subject on her website after reading a magazine featuring photographs of a thin woman who was “either seriously ill or suffering from an eating disorder”.”
We applaud J.K. for taking this stand – although we support women’s efforts and hard work in every industry – we appreciate greatly when celebrities, especially non-plus sized ones, take a stand on weight and image issues, helping to promote self-love.

Late last March, we had the wonderful opportunity to talk to Monif J. Clarke, who is the designer and co-founder of Monif C. Plus Sizes. In this interview Monif speaks about her childhood, her love for fashion and most of all her love for life. Monif recounts how growing up as a big child was a challenging experience, which however helped her grow into a strong and successful woman. “You are who you are regardless of what you weigh. Nobody was brought on this earth to kick themselves in the butt and mentally torture themselves just because they are not ‘model-skinny’,” says Monif.
