Big Bold and Beautiful is a plus size haute couture collection that is designed from start to finish for curvy women. It is meant to allow all women to feel bold, confident, and like showstoppers, no matter their size. All eyes are on them when they walk into the room.  

Typically, haute couture designs are only made for straight sized women. I wanted to fill the gap in the industry by designing for the curvy women. I wanted my looks to show off the woman’s body in a way that allows her to cover up the parts she wants hidden while showing off the parts she wants seen. Since all women have different body parts they want covered, I made each piece cover up and show off a different part of the body. I did this by making three dimensional, sculptural pieces that come out of the surface of the garments and accentuate the curves of the body while also covering them up. I decided to focus on the most common parts of the body that a woman may want to cover and show off. Because of this, I made some of my looks show off the model’s arms, neck, bust, and legs, while others of my looks cover them in three dimensional pieces to draw the attention to those parts of the body in a positive way. I wanted to put a spin on the idea of covering up the body to be in a way that embraces the shapes that women want covered. 

All my looks are meant to show that every body is beautiful, no matter her shape or size.
