Jersey Girls

Before we jump full force into our fashion week coverage (from the epic beauty of Peter Som for Bill Blass to the head scratching beauty of Marc Jacobs) were going to look at another designers foray into the plus market. Norma Kamali has introduced her first plus sized styles, available for pre-order at Nordstrom.



The collection looks promising, not much there yet but the drape dress looks great and hopefully there will be more soon. Another stylish option out there for plus-sized girls from an impeccable designer but I do have to wonder at the proliferation of jersey on the plus sized market. Granted, Kamali is known for popularizing jersey in the 80s so she's a natural fit but does anyone else feel like they're entering the local athletic supply store every time they hit the plus size department nowadays? Jersey is popular across the board but much like the millennial obsession with velour I can't help but wonder how such a patently difficult fabric has become so beloved.
