Welcome PLUSize 46...52. The first exhibition devoted to the plus sizes fashion world

Yes, you heard me right! In Milan (you know, the Fashion Capital of the World!) As I was perusing the internet, I found myself looking for fashion shows and designers who cater the high-end plus size market. I thought my search was in vain until I stumbled upon this show! I almost keeled over with excitement! To further my excitement, I found out that Catherine Schuller (Mode editor, Curvestyle) had been there and wrote all about her voyage on Plus Size Living!

So let me tell you about PLUSize. Since September 2006, MilanoVendeModa and PLUSize have teamed together to bring the world a market solely devoted to the plus-size woman. MilanoVendeModa, the market organized by Fiera Milano Expocts, presents women's prêt-a-porter collections in Milan. PLUSize was launched in September 2006 as a separate show from MilanoVendeModa, in order to give the appropriate importance and visibility to companies who produce one or more collections for the plus size market.

Since its launch, PLUSize has had four successful shows! PLUSize exhibitors gather under the MilanoVendeModa banner to be identified as a "label" that distinguishes the companies, which produce plus-size apparel.

Now naturally, one would expect objections, debates, and criticisms over the celebrations of plus size high fashion. To curb this, PLUSize positively catapulted the subject of the "good fit" of clothes for women who wear sizes higher than Italian size 46 (American size 12). This publicity stressed the importance of plus- size clothing, which require special cuts and shaping in line with the fashionable styles of regular sizes.

This trend or market has not yet hit the US in these proportions, but I would not mind making the journey over to Milan to buy from this market! I have found that there are about 53 brands highlighting under this label. Exciting! What is even better, most of these brands have not even hit the US yet!

I will be there one day. The question is, are you coming?

Carefully selected designer cushions can be used to change the mood of your living space. It is quite simple to change the look and feel of your home or work space just by adding beautiful and quality cushions in wonderful colours. Strong bright colours can uplift the mood of a room, add hot pinks, bright blues, cool greens, fresh whites, the options are limitless. Complement colour with quality and the mood moves to a different perspective, quality fabrics and quality manufactured items add the feel of luxury and class.

A new trend in soft furnishings is the use of fashion fabrics such as Italian designer silks and prints. Fashion fabrics add a deeper richness of colours, textures and quality. Fabrics that are traditionally seen on the catwalks of Milan are now being used in the manufacture of designer cushion. As well as being fashionable, some cushions can also be considered a work of art. Imagine individually hand painted silks, or individually designed and flocked cushions.

There is no hard and fast rule to follow when adding designer cushions to your home or office it comes down to personal style. You can match colours and textures with your existing furniture and surroundings, or be bold and use an array of different colours to brighten up a dull room. Think about using pinks with reds, or pinks with blues, or bright florals on classic whites.
