SIGNATURE QUOTES: TIM GUNN FINDS IT REPUGNANT THAT DESIGNERS HAVE NO INTEREST IN DESIGNING PLUS SIZE CLOTHING
http://www.beautyexists.net/signatu...-no-interest-in-designing-plus-size-clothing/
except:
Its a common misconception in the fashion industry that larger women have no interest in style or trends. Plus-size designer Kenyatta Jones says many companies operate using stereotypes, like Fat people dont need clothes, all they do is eat Twinkies. In-store offerings for plus-size women are limited, forcing women to turn online; and what is in stores is often unstylish. Gunn gives an example:
Go to Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue, I think its the eighth floor, and its just a department called Woman. Its rather devastating. Youve never seen such hideous clothes in your entire life. I mean, its simply appalling. Thank God there are no windows on that floor, because if I were a size 18, Id throw myself right out the window [after seeing those clothes]. Its insulting what these designers do to these women.
