When it comes to fashion, Christian Siriano has been a longtime champion of inclusivity and body positivity. From dressing some of the most famous women in Hollywood to ensuring that all bodies feel seen and celebrated on the runway, Siriano continues to raise the bar. Now, with his exciting new Christian Siriano Bridal for Azazie collection, he’s bringing that same passion for inclusivity to brides-to-be everywhere, offering styles that extend up to a size 30! Yes, you heard that right, and this is a wedding game-changer!

Now, Azazie has been busy! After recently releasing their Barbie Collab, we are here to share our excitement with you for this collaboration- one that makes plus size bridal a bit more accessible, especially when dealing with an admired designer like Christian Siriano!

The partnership between Christian Siriano and Azazie, a leading online retailer for bridal and bridesmaid dresses, is a match made in bridal heaven. Known for their wide range of sizes and custom fits, Azazie has long catered to the plus size community. But this time, the stakes are higher, with the creative genius of Christian Siriano on board to offer a fresh, modern twist to the bridal scene.

“I’ve always believed in making fashion accessible for all women, no matter their shape or size. Every bride should have the chance to feel beautiful on her wedding day,” said Siriano in the press release, highlighting his commitment to inclusion.

In an era where bridal shopping as a plus size person has been notoriously exclusive and limited, even with the progress made, this collaboration is one to note. No more limited size options or lack of variety for plus size brides—with the Christian Siriano Bridal for Azazie collection, Siriano and Azazie are making sure everyone feels like a queen on their big day.

No Bride Left Behind with the Christian Siriano Bridal for Azazie Collection

As someone who has always made a point of dressing women of all sizes, Christian Siriano is more than just a CFDA award-winning designer; he’s an advocate for fashion democracy. With this collection, which ranges up to size 30, plus size brides can finally participate in a collaboration where they are celebrated, not sidelined.

This collection gives us 18 elegant bridesmaid dresses and 13 stunning wedding gowns, all priced under $1,200 and up to a size 30. So not only do YOU as the bride get to play in a Christian Siriano option, but your bridesmaids can join in on the fun, too.

Siriano adds, “Creating this collection with Azazie has been such an exciting process. I wanted to ensure that every bride, regardless of her budget, could have access to a dress that makes her feel beautiful and confident on her special day, without sacrificing style or quality.”

It is hopeful to see an industry giant like Siriano put size inclusivity front and center in such a meaningful way, especially when the fashion world still struggles with offering true diversity in sizing. But, the Christian Siriano Bridal for Azazie collection is set to fill that gap beautifully.

What Can We Expect From the Christian Siriano Bridal for Azazie Collection?

Think high drama, luxurious fabrics, and bold, modern silhouettes—all designed with every body in mind. Whether you’re into classic lace or modern minimalism, Siriano’s collection with Azazie promises to deliver something for every bride.

From dramatic ball gowns to sleek and sexy mermaid silhouettes, this collection offers a wide range of styles for every bridal aesthetic. And the best part? These dresses are designed to also include plus size bodies, with thoughtful detailing like supportive bodices, well-placed seams, and fabrics that drape beautifully across curves.

In Siriano’s own words: “Bridal should be fun, and it should be reflective of the woman wearing it.”

This collaboration does exactly that, offering styles that allow brides to express their personal style without compromising on fit or fashion.

Azazie has always been known for their commitment to inclusivity, offering inclusive sizing options that make finding the perfect fit a breeze. Now, with Christian Siriano on board, they’ve taken their mission to the next level, providing plus size brides with an even more luxurious and high-fashion bridal option.

Azazie’s CEO commented, “We are so excited to partner with Christian Siriano, whose passion for size inclusivity aligns perfectly with our mission to make bridal fashion accessible for all.”

Whether you’re a bride who’s been dreaming of a glamorous wedding gown but never quite felt catered to by mainstream bridal brands, or someone who’s always followed Siriano’s career and applauded his unwavering support of body diversity, this Christian Siriano Bridal for Azazie Collection is one for you to seriously consider.

Founded by Leah Graifer, a former fit model turned entrepreneur, LeaLeaLove Clothing isn’t just another brand; it’s a labor of love, frustration, and a deep desire to fill a glaring gap in the market. “I want to make everything I have ever wanted but wasn’t sold in my size,” Leah shares, tapping into the experience that many plus size women know all too well: the struggle to find chic, well-fitting, and supportive clothes that match their personal style.

The Vision Behind LeaLeaLove Clothing

Leah’s vision for LeaLeaLove is clear: to provide stylish, high-quality clothing that doesn’t compromise on fit or flair. She’s committed to crafting pieces that celebrate curves, with an emphasis on adjustable luxury items designed for women of all shapes and sizes. From corset tops to versatile bustier dresses, this contemporary plus size brand focuses on creating pieces that both empower and excite.

Did you catch that? Bustiers and corset tops? Yes, please! But what truly sets LeaLeaLove Clothing apart is its dedication to making clothing that actually fits. Leah spent six months perfecting the fit of the brand’s bra cups, creating custom underwire shaping and a higher wire gauge for extra support and comfort.

“Boobs are 3D, not flat; they have capacity,” Leah explains, highlighting the brand’s attention to detail when it comes to plus size, full-bust fashion. “We make strategic choices about which fashion industry standards to ignore to solve problems for our customers.”

While Wicked Elegance brings the edge for fall, LeaLeaLove’s first collection, Fresh Femme Fatale, launched earlier in the year with a mix-and-match set that caters to brides and partygoers alike.

Featuring bustier tops, skirts, pants, and a versatile dress perfect for bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, or even elopements, the Fresh Femme Fatale collection offers a stylish solution for special occasions.

The standout piece? A black multi-colored floral dress that has quickly become a fan favorite, ideal for cocktail parties, date nights, or homecoming.

Introducing Wicked Elegance

The latest collection, Wicked Elegance, is an edgy fall line-up that features faux leather separates and burnt velvet dresses with stunning organza puff sleeves. This collection isn’t just about keeping up with the latest trends; it’s about embracing boldness and sophistication with garments designed to flatter and enhance curvier frames.

Perfect for a night out or a special event, these pieces combine high-fashion aesthetics with the practicality and fit that plus size women deserve. The Wicked Elegance collection reflects the brand’s dedication to serving all body types, and with the expansion of its size range from L-3X to 6X, LeaLeaLove ensures that even more women can access these stunning designs.

“We are thrilled to introduce our expanded size range and our new fall collection,” Leah said. “We are dedicated to providing stylish, high-quality clothing for women of all sizes while prioritizing sustainability in our practices.”

Commitment to Sustainability

LeaLeaLove Clothing isn’t just focused on fashion—it’s equally committed to reducing waste and making a positive environmental impact. The brand encourages customers to donate or resell their clothing, helping to address the lack of cute, plus size clothing in second-hand shops. As a step toward more sustainable practices, the company also avoids using poly bags for individual item packaging, minimizing plastic waste.

For a brand that’s just beginning to make waves, this level of dedication to both customer needs and sustainability is refreshing. It’s a thoughtful touch that proves LeaLeaLove Clothing isn’t just about turning heads; it’s about creating fashion with purpose.

What’s Next for LeaLeaLove Clothing?

LeaLeaLove Clothing is just getting started. While Leah dreams of expanding the size range even further in the future—possibly from XS to 10X—the current focus is on getting the word out and building a loyal customer base. And they’re eager to hear from customers.

“If anyone has anything edgy and fun they would die to have, we would love to hear more from our customers about what they can’t find or are looking for from us in the future,” Leah said.

With plans to improve products continuously and an exciting spring collection on the horizon for 2025, LeaLeaLove Clothing is clearly a brand to watch.

Shop the newest now, at LeaLeaLoveClothing.com!

LeaLeaLove Clothing’s Wicked Elegance collection will be available online starting in late fall. Whether you’re looking for the perfect date night dress or edgy separates that make a statement, LeaLeaLove Clothing is redefining what it means to shop for plus size, full-bust fashion.

Founded by Tennille McMillan, Nakimuli has always been a trailblazer in the plus size fashion industry, blending art, fashion, and culture into every piece. And now, after a brief hiatus, they’re back with a brand-new collection that’s poised to shake up the fashion landscape once again.

A Return with Purpose

If you’ve followed Nakimuli over the years, you know that this brand is not just about clothing; it’s about identity, self-expression, and empowerment. Nakimuli was created from Tennille’s pivot from dance to fashion, taking her label of dressing as “the weird one” and turned it into the brand we know and love today. From oversized kimonos to body-hugging dresses, every piece seems to tell a story, celebrating the diversity of the women who wear them.

The relaunch brings with it the same signature aesthetic that fans of the brand have come to love, but with a renewed focus on size inclusivity. Offering sizes from small to 3X, Nakimuli continues to cater to a wide range of body types, ensuring that everyone can experience the joy of wearing something that feels uniquely “them.”

A Longtime Favorite in Plus Size Fashion

This brand has consistently been a go-to for The Curvy Fashionista readers, and for good reason. Over the years, we’ve featured the brand multiple times, applauding its fearless approach to plus size fashion and its ability to blend bold and playful prints with modern, chic silhouettes. Whether it’s a draped cardigan that elevates your everyday look or a statement dress perfect for a night out, Nakimuli’s pieces have always been about standing out, not blending in.

In fact, the brand has been a staple in our “Indie Designer Spotlight” series, where we’ve highlighted Tennille’s dedication to creating clothing that not only fits plus size bodies but celebrates them. In one of our past features, we called Nakimuli a brand that “turns heads and starts conversations,” and that sentiment remains true today. With this relaunch, they’re continuing to push boundaries, making it clear that size-inclusive fashion doesn’t have to sacrifice style or creativity.

What to Expect from the New Collection, Back in Action

So, what can you expect from the brand’s latest collection? For starters, prepare for a lot of color! Bold prints and vibrant hues are a hallmark of the brand, and this collection is no different. Think kaleidoscopic patterns, playful geometry, and a mix of textures that create eye-catching ensembles. From wispy jumpsuits perfect for fall festivals to structured pieces that add a touch of edge to your wardrobe, there’s something for everyone.

The collection also leans into the idea of versatility. Many of the pieces are designed to be styled in multiple ways, giving you the freedom to mix and match, dress up or down, and truly make the outfit your own. And, of course, the brand’s signature use of African-inspired prints remains front and center, offering a cultural nod that makes every piece feel like a work of art.

Tennille’s love for bold, unconventional designs is apparent in the new collection, which offers a mix of silhouettes—from body-hugging to flowy—that cater to different moods and occasions. Whether you’re looking for something casual and comfortable or chic and sophisticated, Nakimuli has you covered.

Why Nakimuli’s Relaunch Matters

In a fashion industry that still struggles with size inclusivity, Nakimuli’s return is more than just another collection drop—it’s a statement. At a time when the demand for size-inclusive fashion is at an all-time high, the brand is here to remind us that plus size fashion can be daring, artistic, and unapologetically bold.

While many brands are still playing catch-up, Nakimuli has always been ahead of the curve, understanding that plus size women also deserve clothing that makes them feel seen, confident, and stylish. This relaunch feels like a necessary addition to the ever-evolving conversation around body positivity and fashion, one that doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk- in creating fashion for a variety of bodies.

At a time where we JUST acknowledged the plus size brands that are no longer here, Nakimuli was on that list, but this news excites us, encourages us and hopefully can spark something for those brands gone to see that we are here to welcome them with open arms (and checkbooks).

Beyond the clothing, their mission has always been about empowerment. Tennille McMillan’s journey from self-taught designer to the founder of a groundbreaking size-inclusive brand is a testament to what’s possible when you merge passion with purpose.

This relaunch feels like a continuation of that mission, offering women the opportunity to wear clothing that makes them feel beautiful, bold, and unapologetically themselves.

As Nakimuli reclaims its space in the fashion world, it’s clear that they’re here to make an impact.

For those of us who have followed the brand over the years, this is the relaunch we’ve been waiting for. And for those new to the brand’s experience, get ready—you’re in for a fashionable ride!

Listen, we all know the struggle of finding workwear that fits and feels good- suiting that makes us feel like total bosses. But here’s the thing, rocking a killer suit isn’t just about looking good (although honey, you’ll be looking good in these), it’s about confidence. It’s about showing up in that boardroom and commanding respect, shutting down any lingering stereotypes about plus size people in the workplace, because Universal Standard suiting is here to say that plus size women deserve sharp, professional style too!

Let’s be honest, there’s a whole lotta bias out there. We’re judged for our size before we even get a chance to prove our skills. But a well-tailored suit? That’s an instant power move. It says, “I take myself seriously, and I deserve to be taken seriously too.”

And that’s where Universal Standard comes in. They’ve been on the forefront of size-inclusive fashion for ages, and this new Universal Standard suiting collection is no exception.

We’re talking sharp blazers, tailored trousers, and oh-so-comfy ponte pants (because comfort shouldn’t be sacrificed for style!). They’ve got classic black and navy, perfect for those all-important presentations, and some bolder options like a houndstooth jacquard dress that’ll have you owning every virtual meeting.

But what we love most is the fit. Universal Standard gets it. They know plus size bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and their clothes are designed to work with each curve. No more boxy blazers or pants that pull uncomfortably across your thighs. These pieces are made to move with you, hug you in all the right places, and leave you feeling confident and ready to conquer the day.

Now, let’s talk options! This collection isn’t just about the traditional jacket and pants suit. They’ve got mix-and-match separates, so you can build a working wardrobe that works for your personal style. Want to pair a statement blazer with your favorite jeans? Go for it! Feeling a sleek jumpsuit vibe? Universal Standard has you covered.

The bottom line is, the Universal Standard suiting collection is about giving us plus size professionals the suiting options we deserve. It’s about shattering the stereotype that looking polished and put-together has a size limit. It’s about showing the world that we can be both stylish and successful, all while rocking curves that make jaws drop (in the best way possible, of course).
