Curves meet Designer wear: Karl Largerfeld S/S 2011

Largerfeld is the creative director of Chanel as well as an independent designer in his own right. More commonly, he has been noted in the fashion industry for sharply criticizing the use of real women or ‘curvy women’ in the fashion world. I have chosen this designer not to highlight his opinions of size , but in fact to explore his change in attitude towards curves which can be seen clearly in his Spring summer 2011 collection . The 3 pieces I have chosen are both great staples for your summer wardrobe.From the white shirt to the black maxi, and most importantly each look is 100 % curve friendly!:) Office wear gone chic: This look is basic but effective. What stands out however is the crisp fit and clean lines. A-line skirts are all the rage at the moment and can be found for all shape and sizes, in all different price ranges quiet easily. If you were to pick one key piece from this look investing in a good white shirt will certainly be worth your while this summer. City chic: I love this look, probably my favorite because half of my wardrobe is black but the use of red shorts is a fun burst of color to quickly brighten up your wardrobe. For the more confident fashionistas who love the new color blocking trend, you could easily experiment by changing the top half with a bright blue, orange or yellow. The Black Maxi : A-line maxi with a cap sleeve ..music to my ears! With this intense plunge neckline I wouldn’t recommend this look for the heavier busted ladies.This last week I have seen plenty of alternatives out there from Asos.com to Awear.
