Luxury and plus size fashion, can we talk about it? The luxury fashion industry has been quietly retreating from extended sizing, and most of them are not even apologetic about it. So, when a brand like Eloquii steps up and says, “Actually, our customer deserves designer collabs too?” That’s not just a product launch. That’s a statement.
Enter the Eloquii x PatBo collaboration, a summer capsule that feels like a love letter to bold dressing, Brazilian craftsmanship, and the plus size customer who has been waiting far too long for this level of fashion access.
Wait, Who Is PatBo?
If PatBo is a new name in your world, let’s fix that right now, because this brand is the real deal.
PatBo is the ready-to-wear and swim label founded by Brazilian designer Patricia Bonaldi, a woman who literally taught herself to sew as a child because buying clothes was not an option her family could easily afford. That foundation, creativity born from necessity, craft rooted in community, is still the heartbeat of the brand today.
Bonaldi founded her eponymous couture label in 2002, and PatBo officially launched in 2012 as a bolder, more contemporary expression of her vision. Since then, the brand has grown into a global force, stocked at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Net-A-Porter, and Harrods.
PatBo made its New York Fashion Week debut in 2021 and has shown every season since. In 2025, Bonaldi was named Visionary of the Year at the Latin American Fashion Summit Gala, a recognition that speaks to her impact both inside and outside the industry.
The brand’s DNA is unmistakable: hand-embroidery, vivid prints, fluid movement, fringe and frills that feel luxurious without being stiff. PatBo is the brand you see on it-girls and red carpets, on resort trips and editorial shoots. It has a very specific energy: confident, feminine, free, deeply Brazilian. And until now, that energy was largely out of reach for plus size shoppers.
What the Eloquii x PatBo Collab Actually Is
The Eloquii x PatBo capsule collection is designed for the height of summer, think: bold florals, fluid silhouettes, and fabrics that move with you rather than against you. This was a full creative collaboration between Bonaldi and Eloquii Creative Director Yesenia Torres, who came to the process with clear intention.
Torres’s goal was to honor PatBo’s identity, the organic textures, the fringe, the signature prints, while ensuring every silhouette was designed to feel exceptional on Eloquii’s customer. Not retrofitted. Not simply extended. Designed. The distinction matters.
“The goal was never to reinterpret her identity, but to honor it while ensuring each silhouette feels exceptional to our customer. That balance really comes to life in some of the hero pieces and signature prints, particularly the fringe looks and the encrusted floral top that bring a sense of joy and escapism to the collection.” -Yesenia Torres, Creative Director, Eloquii
Standout pieces in the Eloquii x PatBo collection include fringe looks and an encrusted floral top that bring the kind of joy and visual impact PatBo is known for, refined through Eloquii’s expertise in plus size fit. These are not watered-down versions of the runway. These are the pieces.
The campaign reflects that same intentionality. Brazilian plus size model Lindsey Hilario fronts the campaign, a choice that honors PatBo’s cultural roots while centering the plus size customer the collection was built for. The visual world is elevated, transportive, and distinctly luxurious… which is exactly what we deserve.
Why This Collaboration Matters
For years, we have watched designer collaborations come and go and on the rare occasion they included us, plus size models were nowhere in the campaign, the collection stopped at a 24, and in-store placement was an afterthought. But now, at a moment when retail is actively pulling back from extended sizing, Eloquii is doing the opposite, doubling down and bringing us exactly the kind of high-fashion access we have always deserved.
Eloquii has been building toward this kind of moment since its acquisition by FullBeauty Brands in 2023. The brand has continued to position itself as a fashion-first destination for sizes 14 and up, and Eloquii x PatBo collaboration is the clearest signal yet of where Eloquii is headed.
“This collaboration signals where ELOQUII is headed, led by elevated design and true fashion authority,” said Julie Carnevale, Brand Lead of FullBeauty Brands. “Partnering with PatBO introduces a bold, high-fashion perspective to the brand. The collection feels vibrant, modern, and effortlessly refined. Working with her team was seamless, their creativity and precision show in every detail. We’re incredibly proud of how it all came together.” says Carnevale.
As Julie Carnevale put it, this partnership represents elevated design and true fashion authority, not just another seasonal capsule, but a deliberate move to deliver the kind of luxury collab that has historically bypassed the plus size market entirely.
And Patricia Bonaldi herself was direct about what it meant to her: opening the world of PatBo to a broader audience, authentically.
“Our collaboration with ELOQUII felt incredibly meaningful to me because it allows us to open the world of PatBO to a broader audience in a way that remains authentic to our brand,” said Patricia Bonaldi. “From the beginning, it was essential that every piece, and the campaign itself, felt as considered, as detailed, and truly reflective of our DNA. I’m so proud of what we created together.”
The campaign, the craft, the DNA of the collection, all of it was built with the same care and consideration PatBo puts into every full-priced piece. That is not always a given in the collab space, and it shows here.
