Tim Gunn To Design Plus-Size Clothing Line?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To all our plus-size models<\/a> on the books here at Talent Management<\/a>, we have a rumour that may be of interest.<\/p>\n

We all know that American fashion consultant Tim Gunn has begun to reveal himself as somewhat of a plus-size advocate of late; The Project Runway mentor signed on as Weight Watchers\u2019 \u201cstyle consultant\u201d last January and he\u2019s just bagged a co-hosting job for new health and lifestyle show The Revolution, in which he\u2019ll be providing styling advice to women through their weight-loss journey.<\/p>\n

But does all this indicate that he may be branching into designing a plus-size clothing line? Some think so.<\/p>\n

Gunn recently chatted with Marie Claire about plus-size clothes and designers\u2019 views on plus-size models: \u201cIt\u2019s so difficult. Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It\u2019s horrifying. Whoever\u2019s designing for plus-size doesn\u2019t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can\u2019t just take a size 8 and make it larger.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my travels, I\u2019ve been an advocate for larger women. I\u2019ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, \u2018I don\u2019t want a woman who\u2019s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.\u2019 Well, shame on you! It\u2019s not realistic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to address real women with real needs. At Parsons [The New School For Design], we had fit models that ranged in size from 2 to 10. We\u2019ve got to re-conceive clothes for all sizes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fingers crossed for all our plus-size models who are crying out for a chic, well-designed range specifically for their shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
