Chic with a rocker edge.
This is how freshman designer Ashley Nell Tipton describes her eponymous collection, Ashley Nell Tipton. San Diego designer, fresh out of design school has literally taken the design world head on! When I heard of this emerging designer, quickly I searched her down, and featured her collections on the site!
Ashleyโs collection is tailored for the 20-30-something female that is chic with a rocker-edge. Juxtaposing street with Glamour, Ashley Nell Tipton draws her inspiration from a trip to Paris and London to visit fellow design students at the Atelier Chandon Savard school in Paris. It is there she knew her future collection was going to be inspired by the British rocker flare of London.
Womenโs curves inspired the construction and my love for color and a fight against the phrase โblack is slimmingโ affected my color choices.
For Full Figured Fashion Week, Ashley created a collection that is full of bright hues and bold patterns incorporating both boldness and finesse!
Take a look at a few of my favorites!

WHAT items are calling your name? There are a few that I NEED to have, but I want to know what tickles your fancy?
I hope we see more of the open sleeve style in the future, it really is lovely.
I like it too! Been a huge trend! ๐ย
It has, and itโs flattering even if you have a lot of weight on your upper arms, because itโs more of a teaser than full-on-open sleeve. ย Itโs nice!
that polka dot maxi shirtdress is to die for ! yess!
I know! That is my favorite piece of hers, at least one of! ๐ LOLย
i love the fringe skirt!! great designs!ย However, a sister with a 6 pack?? she is not FF, she is FIT!
I think the funny thing is, many forget that a plus size woman can be both! ๐ Plus SIze and FIt! ๐ย
She looks sensational. ย The exception rather than the rule, but wow, what an exception!
