The Irish Independent had an interview with one of my favourite plus size fashion designers, Anna Scholz.

Here are some of the things she had to say:

“I have been in business for 12 years and I thought, by now, at least, I would have had a lot more competition. But it is a little bit more difficult and challenging than doing straight sizes, because you can’t just get skinny models to walk down a catwalk and make anything look beautiful. A lot of people don’t even have big women on their radar. They don’t think of them as being anything to do with fashion. They think it’s an older customer who doesn’t go out, who doesn’t enjoy life,”

“People need to learn how to experiment with their shape a bit more. It’s about enjoying fashion. For everyone to aspire to be a blonde, thin thing is just boring.”

It is true though, you would think that there would be more plus size fashion designers out there - but no!

Take a look at Anna Scholz’s plus size fashion collection at Marisota. her vibrant designs really show a lust for life:
