So what happens when one of your favorite plus size designers crafts a limited collection inspired by one of your favorite 90โs tvโs show? Instant butterflies in my stomach is what. When I first saw the coming soon teaser for Courtney Noelleโs Living Single Collection, I was immediately taken back to full on โ90s nostalgia.
Listen. Living Single was my jaam! For those of not old enough to remember, the show was about six young black professionals sharing their lives and loves in a Brooklyn, NY brownstone.
It was characters like Khadijah (Queen Latifah), Synclaire (Kim Coles), Regina โRรฉgineโ(Kim Fields) and Maxine โMaxโ(Erika Alexander) that captured our attention.
We saw ourselves within this cast and we knew someone just like them in our lives.
I had so many #livingsinglegoals. Do you remember the opening?
So when the designer, Courtney Noelle, dropped the name of the collection, I knew that she was up to something amazing! Yes Girl, Ms. Noelle has done it again with another themed collection inspired by the all-black female cast and Iโm here for all this nostalgia and creative.
I might show my age a little here,but in true Rรฉgine fashion, Iโm excited and donโt care.
Courtney Noelle wowed us with her the debut of her holiday collection withย designs named after the women of Girlfriends, another one of my favorites. She always includes small details that a true fan would recognize right away. T
his is one of Noelleโs designing traits that I enjoy the most. And she knows it!
And for this spring capsule collection? She introducesย lighter fabrics & playful pieces for day parties and everything else life calls for! I was inspired by the characters on the show, they all have distinct personalities and clearly, Khadijah is my favorite!
Take a First Look At Courtney Noelleโs โLiving Singleโ Collection!
Meet โKhadijahโ
One of Noelleโs personal favorites in the collection, theย Khadijah capsule was inspired by Hip-hopโs reign turned actress Queen Latifahโs characterย Khadijah James.
A young editorย building her media empire while rocking Ankara prints to her corporate gig. I loved Khadijahโs printed vest and blazers and I can definitely see looks from this capsule floating through the office halls.

Meet โRรฉgineโ
Facts of Life original Kim Fields played Regina โRรฉgineโ Hunter. A determined Jersey girl who had a taste for three things: FASHION, FLARE, and โFOINEโ MEN.
This sexy tube dress with mid-drift cutout speaks to the Rรฉgine in me and sure to get a second date or proposal. And we all now Rรฉgine loved a good proposal.

Meet โMaxineโ
Played by Cosby Show graduate,ย Erika Alexander gave us Attorneyย Maxine โMaxโ Shaw. ย Filled with quick wit one liners and sharpness in and out of the courtroom.
Of course a dress name after Max is going to slay.ย Max was always playing with bodycons and slits in her wardrobe. ย
I peeped that too.
ย
Meet โSynclaireโ
Captured by comedian Kim Coles, Synclaire James made it completely okay to daydream a little at work while strolling around is bright garments with a desk full of colorful, fluffy troll dolls.
This cross front max is dead Synclaire with a beautiful, bold, colorful print and maxi sexiness.
I love the way she captured each characterโs personality and translated them onto her clothing canvas. ย
This collection has brought back so many fond memories. ย I hope this trip down memory was as good for you as it was for me.
