Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival started off with a bang when plus size retailer City Chic debuted their Spring collection yesterday. With models ranging from size 14-18, City Chic sent down edgy pieces mixed with classic ones such as a gorgeous long floral dress (pictured above). I’ll admit, City Chic was never in my top online list of retailers but after seeing a few of these pieces, I am now a fan! The floral dresses are just begging to be paired with a leather bomber jacket and sexy stilettos!
From News.com.au —
“On show were plenty of races-worthy strapless cocktail dresses and an edgier rock chick look that included studded tank tops and stretch mini-skirts. City Chic general manager Phil Ryan said: “We try to showcase that size 14-plus girls in Australia can have the latest fashion in the world, to wear anywhere.” City Chic made a point of not dictating what it thought was suitable for its 18 to 28-year-old target market, who he said tended to go for mini-skirts. “We put it in our stores and let the girl make that decision,” he said, adding: “It’s funny, if we do a skirt to the knee it doesn’t sell.”
Love, love love that attitude. What do you guys think of the collection? Do you see anything that you like? Frances of Corpulent attended the show and posted her (better) review with more pictures, so be sure to check it out!
