Welcome to our first
Independent Designer Issue!
When we think of plus size fashion, we can instantly name those popular
well-known brands but how well do we know independent designers?

“Indie Designers” are described as artists and craftspeople who design and
create a wide array of products without being part of large,
industrialized businesses.

These businesses are often small and do not have the budget to hire big
PR firms, marketing companies or have advertising dollars. Therefore,
they depend on their customer base, loyal following and the community
to spread the word about their brand. This issue is dedicated to the hard
working designers who work tirelessly to bring us
original and exciting fashion.
