So what do you do? I’m a fashion stylist/wardrobe consultant who helps women (particularly curvy women) find their voice thru fashion.

What does fashion mean to you?  Fashion is very powerful mainly because its one of the first things you notice about a person at first glance, and perception really is everything. My job is to embrace the various aspects of fashion and relate it in a manner that is stylish, creative and accentuating to a curvy figure as well as attainable in my clients daily lives. Most importantly fashion is fun, its liberating, for me it’s the ultimate high becauses its an expression of yourself that you share with the world on any given day.

5 Must Haves? Lip gloss, statement making footwear , tailored blazer, dark boot cut jeans, and a flirty dress (go for black if you’re building a wardrobe, if not find a print).

Favourite Clothing Designers – I love any and everyone designing for curves with style and quality, most notably:

Ø      Johnny Waas – because I feel free in his designs, its like a boho/hippy vibe

Ø      Jibri – She understand the curvy form like no other….

Ø      Rachael Pally – She does  wonders with Knits, must I say more….

 Ø     Thrift Store/Consignment Finds – Easiest way to feel haute couture on a budget, .

Favourite Plus Size Model you’ve worked with:

Ø      Lauren – She brought such diversity and poise to our shoots, and she understood how to work her angles(http://www.modelmayhem.com/1031403

Ø      Tabitha – Her face was so stunning, each shoot seemed totally unique from the last (http://www.modelmayhem.com/pics.php?id=893223

Ø      (Insert Your name here), seriously call me I’m open to a plethora of ideas & concepts

Style Icons:

Prissi Chic of course, but I mostly get my inspiration from everyday people and things. I love to people watch and mix and match prints and textures, just to see what happens.

 I do love Jill Scott as a curvy style icon, she stays true to herself and always looks good.

Favourite clothing / accessory stores / websites? I live in dresses, whether casual or dolled up, I love to show off my curves in a dress.. Right now I’m in love with www.etsy.com, every time I’m on the site I fall in love with someone new, and the entire site seems to be curvy friendly which is a plus.

What’s next? Booking more photo shoots (DC Plus/Curvy Models where are you?), I want to see my work in print and online mags. Also I’m working on a few other developments that I will reveal in time

How are your shaping the plus size community? I’m following my passion and building up other women in the process. In our society differences are frowned upon, and if I can just shape one mind to realize that its ok to be different, or curvy, or tall, or whatever, and that all those differences make you unique and beautiful I will feel that I’ve impacted the world.

I truly believe that no matter how brief the encounter I have the potential to positively impact someone’s life, and that’s what I want to be famous for, that and my unique styling abilities J
