Plus Size Brand Pennington’s Leading The Way In Marketing To Plus Size Customers.

Editor-in-Chief, Madeline Figueroa-Jones — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:25:23 +0000

Beautiful plus size clothing modeled by plus size models, what a novel idea! It makes perfect sense to PLUS Model Magazine and thousands of women, and apparently plus size brand Pennington’s also agrees. This brand is leading the way in marketing to the plus size woman. Plus size women continually ask for aspirational images; all women want to feel happy when they are shopping whether they are a size 0 or 28, and why not? Why shouldn’t our shopping experience be one that we enjoy?

We are delighted with Pennington’s fashion for every day women and for showing us that size diversity is beautiful.

Here are some of my favorite pieces from the Spring 2012 Look Book. You can visit Pennington’s Online and on Facebook!

PLUS Model Mag Exclusive- Introducing Plus Size Designer Ashley Nell Tipton

Reah Norman, Executive Fashion Director — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:00:44 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and get to know up and coming plus size fashion designer, Ashley Nell Tipton. We chatted about everything from plus size fashion to body image and self-esteem, to struggles with acceptance within personal relationships with friends and family. I am so impressed, not only with Ashley’s talent as a young fashion designer, but also her maturity, passion, positive attitude, and wisdom beyond her 20 years. She is a refreshing ball of sunshine, and I am so thrilled to introduce you all to her.

Ashley- tell us a bit about who are you, where are you from, and how you began your love of fashion?

I’m 20 years old and was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I am the youngest of 4 brothers and a sister. At the young age of 7 years old, I discovered my love for design when my Grandma taught me how to sew, and I spent days working and re-working little blankets and clothes for my Barbie dolls. I still use my Grandma’s sewing machine to this day!

Why plus size fashion?

I am passionate about being a plus size fashion designer because I, myself, am plus size and I want to let other plus size women know they are not alone and that I have the same story. I am the only one of my siblings who is plus size, and throughout my life I have struggled with acceptance from my family, and feeling different because of my size.

Who is your customer and what gap are you hoping to fill in the plus size clothing market?

My plus size customer is a 20-30 something female that is chic with a rocker edge. I am currently looking to fill in the gap that I see in the plus size clothing market and to be THE full-figured designer for curvy women with an edge.

What was your inspiration for the line and what makes you tick as a designer?

Upon returning from a trip to Paris and London to visit fellow design students at the Atelier Chandon Savard School in Paris, I was inspired by the British rocker flare of London and the artful combination of glamour and street fashion. Women’s curves inspired my garment construction and my love for color and fight against the phrase “black is slimming” affected my color choices. Going against the grain, I created a collection that is full of bright hues and bold patterns. I pictured my muse roaming the streets of London unabashed and feeling confident in stride while wearing designs that are no typically seen today in plus size fashion. The finished product incorporates both boldness and finesse, just like myself!

How would you describe yourself and how does this tie into your fashion aesthetic?

My friends and family would say that I am always happy and have a smile on my face, and the color that I use in my collections is a reflection of that. I never wear black because it makes me feel “gothic” or “emo”. I love wearing color because it reflects how I feel inside- I want to be bright, because I am happy! Also, I have Dyslexia, and I use fashion design as my form of expression and creative outlet. I am able to create ideas with my hands, rather than writing about it.

What’s next for you, professionally- what can we expect in the future?

I just Finished Fashion School literally this week! I am hoping to show my collection at Full Figured Fashion Week in NYC this June. I am currently working on my new collection, and also hope to get my line into production soon.

Thank you so much, Ashley! You are a gem and we are so excited to see what is next for you! Watch out world, here she comes!

Keep up with Ashley Nell Tipton and all her plus size design adventures and as she creates her brand new collection!

Bohemian Chic – a term coined to describe the effortless style of the quintessential laid-back LA girl with an eye for high fashion – Nicole Richie. Raised in the spotlight by famously creative parents, Nicole was born with an innate style vision, one she has cultivated through her notable jewelry collection, House of Harlow 1960. Nicole’s love and influence of costume dressing is apparent, whether incorporated in a print or manifested through a unique addition to a style.
