Plus size designer- Courtney Noelle

Hey Girl, Hey! One of our favorite topics of discussion here on the blog is all about INDIE Designers. We love ourselves some indie designers and many of them love plus size women! It’s all about custom-made, stylish clothing, that provides amazing flair for us! This is what makes the relationship between the indie designers with the plus size community so perfect. They know we want to look good and wear dope clothes.

From the tribal, African vibe of Demestik to the modern edge and cheeky style of Beth Ditto, their passion for fashion, drives these indie designers to serve up fashion, form, and function for our plus size bodies and empowering us beyond our wildest dreams. I mean, because who knew a pencil skirt could do so much for your self-esteem? (Raises Hand Slowly)

When we revealed the Beth Ditto collection on the blog a couple months ago the response was bananas! The plus size community fell in love with  Ditto’s powerful collection of vibrant prints, pin up girl nostalgia and cheeky design.

Have you heard of these 10 indie contemporary designers?

There are so many more that we have featured like Jibri, Monif C, Universal Standard and more! What I can share with you with shopping them is that they are mostly contemporary designers with an edge, sophistication, or elevation in style- so be prepared for a higher price point, limited pieces, and for the most part, excellent construction. These designers’ pieces will last you well beyond a season!

Right now with plus size fashion being the topics of many discussions about the plus size industry and designers knowing who caters to plus size woman is essential. And with brand collaborations like the most recent announcement of Prabal Gurung joining forces with Lane Bryant in their fifth designer collaboration, things are definitely looking up and moving away from those sad sections in some of those popular department stores.

You know who I’m talking about.

Who are your favorite independent designers creating plus size fashion? Who should add to the list? Let’s chat!

    Why must most of these outfits be shown on skinny chicks? And half the rest of the clothing from those designers be sad sacks with flowers on them?? We deserve so much better from supposedly Couture designers, and any other designers, for that matter

      Hey Elesia! A few of the designers we shared are not plus size only designers and this was shining the light on those who include plus. 🙂

      But we also purposely shared a range as a few wanted to see a variety of style options… which is really cool that we have!

      There were only 5 to 7 of what could be argued are straight sizes out of 29 shots portrayed, and one of those was a shot of a plus sized and a straight sized model together, which frankly should be more common. I’m so tired of this ridiculous notion that to be body positive and fat means you have to meet requirements of being “fat enough”. It is ridiculous and divisive and the SAME argument that thin privilege has peddled to women. Stop it.
