Latest research reveals that 73% of British women believe size matters when it comes to being fashionable with 75% saying they do not believe that you can be both plus-size and fashionable! ‘What do you think?’, asks plus-size personal stylist Chantelle Znideric.
Once again it’s one of the most prominent weeks in February on every Fashionista’s fashion calendar – London Fashion Week Spring Summer 2010.
Undeniably an event not to be missed for anyone whose passion is designer fashion and who can’t resist being in the know-how of upcoming trends or in the thick of it behind the catwalk glamour. I know for the curvier women out there this event always leaves a bad taste in their mouths, as the lack of acceptance of the curvier woman on the catwalk can leave them feeling a little left out. The question that’s always asked - can plus-size women really look fashionable with so limited choice out there on the high street?
Having a corporate image that empowers you will ensure you will succeed in business. My philosophy is … look successful and you will become successful. I agree, these are powerful words but they are incredibly meaningful when push comes to shove in the workplace.
How do you achieve that edge and a higher level of professionalism by ‘looking the part’ whilst continually maintaining the respect from other members in your department? How do you secure more new business by getting people to trust you or sell more products without coming on too strong? How do you guarantee that promotion you deserve or feel more confident in that all important job interview? Whatever your professional goals are, a Corporate Image Consultant/Corporate Personal Stylist or Personal Branding Expert can enhance your professional image and improve your behaviour that represents you in the best way possible.

Topman has recently launched a range of Playboy Tees called ‘Rock The Rabbit’. The design team at Playboy has collaborated with both MGMT and The Kooks and got the bands to design their own t-shirts, the outcome being a mash-up of music and design which incorporates the iconic Playboy Rabbit Head logo. The tees are limited, cost £20 and available nationwide. Expect to see a celeb somewhere soon snapped with one of these on.
We think these would make excellent valentines gifts for your man… or indeed go towards that ‘rock chick’ look for yourself!
“The inspiration for the design came from our love for Playboy and new yorker styled cartoons. We’re very into cartoons, the rest of our merchandise line is in fact a series of original cartoon characters designed by our friend Dan from our descriptions of the characters….” – Andrew VanWyngarden, MGMT
