If you’ve been rocking with us for a while, then you already know the name Hilary MacMillan. She’s no stranger to TCF, and for good reason. The Canadian designer has long been one of our go-to favorites for contemporary plus size fashion that delivers on polish, personality, and most importantly, plus size inclusion that actually feels good. And this fall? She’s doing it again, but with a twist that feels both grounded and glow-up ready.
And let’s talk about contemporary plus size fashion for a moment. It’s one of the most underrepresented yet deeply necessary segments in the plus size style space. While fast fashion has long dominated the market and plus size luxury options remain scarce, contemporary fashion sits in that sweet spot; where quality, intention, and design-forward style meet.
But here’s the thing: there are still only a handful of brands truly showing up for plus in this space. That’s why names like Hilary MacMillan matter. These designers are pushing the envelope, proving that plus size fashion can be modern, directional, and elevated without sacrificing fit or flair. They’re filling a gap that deserves more shine, more support, and a whole lot more celebration.
Who Is Hilary MacMillan?
Hilary MacMillan is a Toronto-based designer who’s carved out a lane for herself by doing something far too few do well: merging sophisticated design with playful, bold energy and making sure that energy is available in sizes XS through 4X.
For years, she’s been pushing the boundaries of contemporary fashion by making plus size style not just an afterthought, but a core part of her brand DNA. Her pieces are for the person who loves structure but lives for a little attitude. They’re for the fashion lover who wants their wardrobe to feel smart, statement-making, and unapologetically fun.
Why We’re Always Watching
Hilary MacMillan doesn’t just include plus, she celebrates it. And she does it through tailored silhouettes, luxe fabrics, and runway-ready details that make you feel like you just stepped into your main character moment. It’s thoughtful design with intention, rooted in both aesthetic and access. And in a world where so many “inclusive” collections miss the mark, Hilary continues to bring her A-game, collection after collection.
Now Let’s Talk About This Fall 2025 Drop…
This FW25 collection is like stepping into a cinematic Western dream but make it fashion. Think expansive ease, effortless elegance, and a whisper of drama. The pieces are grounded yet elevated, made for the person who doesn’t need to shout to be seen (but also doesn’t mind turning a few heads while they’re at it).
Hilary draws inspiration from the shifting desert light, the rich hues of the Western frontier, and her own Scottish heritage, which shows up in new, reimagined plaids that are anything but basic. And yes, animal print lovers, she did not forget you. But this season, it’s done with a wink: refreshed and refined, rather than loud and literal.
Texture is a major player in this collection too. There’s a tactile richness that begs to be touched; plush fabrics, cozy knits, and elevated outerwear that delivers form and function. These are pieces designed for living, not just posing.
The Styling Possibilities? Endless.
One of the things we love most: the versatility. The collection leans into sets, but with styling flexibility in mind. Whether you’re mixing traditional pieces or going off-script with unexpected pairings, the FW25 collection gives you the tools to create looks that feel like you. Elevated for the office, styled down for the coffee run, layered up for crisp fall nights, the whole thing works together seamlessly.
And as always, over 75% of the line is made in Canada (love a brand that keeps it close to home), and yes, they ship worldwide. So, wherever you are, you can get a taste of this sartorial magic.
