Shopping can be difficult for anyone to navigate, but fashion designer Kenyatta Jones makes the case that it’s even harder for the plus-sized gals. “Fashion just forgot about us,” she said while stopping by HuffPost Live today.
Jones, CEO of clothing line Bella Rene, is a self-proclaimed “fat” person and star of We TV’s series “House of Curves.” She’s pinned down the inherent problem that larger women face when buying clothes: Plus-sized items are seldom available in-store, which leaves these ladies to fend for themselves in the online shopping world. Jones explains how this can lead to problems:
“At the end of the day, each designer designs in a different way. So if you’re stuck only shopping online, nine times out of 10 you’re going to get something that doesn’t fit … Fit is very important for a fashion designer for us, but if you’re ordering it online as opposed to trying it on in-store, you’re just going to end up sending it back and then you have nothing.”
