BLOG: BELLA RENE' SPRING/SUMMER 2012 COLLECTION

Hello Dolls!
The wait is over! I am finally able to debut my spring/summer 2012 collection! This collection was designed for a strong chic and modern woman that wants to show off her fabulous curves with luxurious fabrics and tailored design. Tailoring is a Bella Rene' staple in all of our collections and we went the extra mile this season. Our fabrications this season are luxurious and give our designs that high glamour feel in each piece. From beautiful silk dupioni tailored jackets to Italian imported wools, this collection speaks to the curvy woman that has waited for classic designs made specifically for her body shape that will make her stand out in any crowd. This collection was designed to be in a womans wardrobe for life. I hope you enjoy it and please look for it come spring in speciality boutiques and retail locations world wide! Thank you for your support!

Bella Rene' Full Figured and Fabulous: WHAT WILL THE PLUS SIZE WOMAN WEAR FOR SPRING?

Update!

Hello Dolls..Again!

Ok so I have been seriously busy with the new spring 2012 collection and pushed back the launch date of Bella Rene' Glamorous Tees(changed the name) and Bella Rene' Premium denim until the end of this month. I had no idea how much this spring collection, although small, would consume my brain. Fit is the most important thing to me. I love jeans and could not include them in my brand without a fit that rivals any jean on the market. So im very excited to launch at the end of Sept. I promise this time! : ) Next, the spring 2012 collection for Bella by Bella Rene' will debut at the end of this month as well. I took this collection in a totally different direction and focused on tailoring gorgeous fabrics for the curvy frame. I am going to try my hardest to blog more but I seem to not be able to remember to eat or sleep so we shall see!

Stay Full Figured and Fabulous

WHAT WILL THE PLUS SIZE WOMAN WEAR FOR SPRING?

Hello Dolls!

This morning as I was watching the beautiful pictures from the Ralph Lauren presentation I wondered to myself..what styles will he offer for full figured women from his collection. It occured to me that out of the seven to ten designers that make full figured clothes such as Ralph Lauren, Micheal Kors and Elie Tahari, the plus size woman will not know what she will be wearing from these collections until the merchandise reaches the stores next spring. I saw so many things I would love to have from the above designers but im left with the burning question..will it come in my size? Im a designer so I can design whatever I want but what about other women...why must they wait until next year to find out what is hot for spring for them? Why does it seem the plus community is always behind? The truth is most plus size designers dont follow the fashion calendar they create collections for the present season while our straight sized counterparts are a year ahead. I didnt either until this season, and this is exactly why! As much as I have loved seeing all the fashion presented during fashion week, it does not identify with plus size women because there were no shows to represent us there. Some how some way it needs to be defined that we are not a fad that will fade. My mother always told me dont present a problem if your not willing to find a solution. Im going to work on it!
