Plus Size Fashion Designers to Admire

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

When we go to watch a movie at the cinema, we rarely stop and think about all that took place behind the scenes to make the movie possible; the same often happens when we are out and about shopping for clothes, we seldom think about the person who actually created the clothes we buy.

Perhaps, some might not think it very useful to know the background of the people designing the clothes we wear, however I find it interesting and intriguing to get to know more and dig a little deep into the fabric. Just like getting to know what inspires a writer to put thoughts and ideas into words, it is fascinating to me to find out the passions and inspirations of those who design and create the beautiful clothes we wear.

That is why I am today taking a closer look at three unique and intriguing plus size fashion designers, in a bid to bring you a little step closer to those designing the awesome plus size fashions we have available on the market nowadays. Knowing ‘where your clothes come from’, like a piece of art, will make you cherish them more.

Yuliya Zeltser of IGIGI

A fashion designer born and raised in Ukraine, Yuliya felt the need to provide full figured women with beautiful clothing, when she saw how hard it was for her own mother to find clothes in her size that made her feel like a gorgeous and chic woman. Through IGIGI Yuliya is now able to provide plus size women with clothes which not only make them feel beautiful, but which also accentuate their figure. Yuliya designed from the heart and is also sometimes inspired from her travels around the world and the United States.

In June 2004 Anna launched ANR apparel as an online retail store, to give curvy women more choices of plus size clothing. She has recently moved the retail site over the newly renamed Jahqoi site. Jahqoi when spelled correctly means: ‘I believe’ in French. Anna’s passion is contemporary, modern, sassy styles.

It is interesting, getting to know a little more about plus size fashion designers and the inspirations behind the clothes we wear. There is a lot more than fabric to a dress, more which can turn a beautiful dress into a meaningful work of art.

Wholesaling Fashion Clothes

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Fashion or being fashionable has been a trend since the 14th century in the west. Since then, fashion has spread all over the world and invaded country after country, especially the urban cities of the countries. Being fashionable has been sort of a status quo in every society. The more fashionable you are, the more you are regarded as an elite or a socialite person. With the popularity of fashion, it is not surprising that it has become a booming business worldwide.

Women nowadays are more particular than men when it comes to fashion. That is why women’s boutiques are more common than men’s in every city. Women are very fussy when it comes to what they wear. They won’t usually wear what is not in style; they would always be updated with the fashion trend. And with the trend shifting almost every year, so do the variety of clothes that women buy. So every boutique and fashion clothing store should always be well-run with the changes in style and trends so that they will not be left behind in the business.

With the abundance of the competition in the fashion clothing business, shop owners have to find ways not only to be up-to-date in fashion trends but also to find means to sell their designer clothes competitively. One way of doing this is purchasing wholesale, not only will it be much cheaper, you can also have more availability of clothes for your costumers to choose from. One factor that store owners should also consider is the quality of the fashion clothing that they are buying from manufacturers. Wholesaling clothes is sometimes not reliable in getting the clothes with the best quality so it is wise to shop around for fashion clothing supplier. Luckily for fashion clothes shop owners and entrepreneurs, the internet has made the search for a clothing wholesaler much more convenient with the availability of online fashion clothing suppliers serving trendy and stylish clothes not only locally but internationally.
