To label Rosie Mercado simply as a plus size Latina model is an understatement; not only is she a celebrity make-up artist, actress, radio personality, host, community philanthropist and a single mother of three, she is also today’s antithesis to models half her size and a role model for plus size women all over the globe. In the midst of all her hard work, Rosie believes “ success is earned not given.”

REBEL WITH A CAUSE

Adele

Last month, Adele released the first single “Hello” from her new album “25.” She’s served us another heart-wrenching and gorgeous anthem with a matching video that shows off her impeccable clothes, hair and makeup. The stunning star hasn’t released anything since her 2011 album “21” and the world has been waiting on pins and needles for her to release something new. The rest of her album will drop on November 20th. We can’t wait!

Rebel Wilson in Rebel for Torrid

2015 will be known as the year of the plus size celebrity fashion lines.

Rebel Wilson’s collection for Torrid is truly exquisite!

Rebel for Torrid consists of a colour scheme of predominantly red, black and white and she features styles that are curvehugging and flattering.

With a mix of sophisticated and urban pieces (check out her red peplum dress with black overlay!), her collection is full of rebellious choices. All of her creations are now available in Torrid stores and online at torrid.com.

ROCK THE RUNWAY Ashley Graham

PROUD TO BE CURVY This week, plus size model and icon Ashley Graham began a daily segment on Good Morning America called ‘Body Proud’, in which she focuses on encouraging women to embrace their bodies and celebrate themselves in a positive light. On Monday’s episode, she featured young girls with their mothers, asking each what they thought of their bodies. The segment ended with a lovely moment between Graham and her mother where we see just how supportive her mom has been over the years and where Graham gets her positive and proud outlook on health and beauty. You make us proud, Ashley!

Ashely Nell Tipton won Season 14 of Project Runway and we couldn’t be more thrilled! As the first designer to win the competition who specializes in plus size clothing, Tipton brought her eye for bright colours, playful textiles and modern silhouettes to the runway and the judges fell in love. After winning multiple challenges, Tipton took home the gold with her plus size models walking in Bryant Park wearing her 1950s Mexico City-inspired collection.

Although she’s been on the radar of plus size divas like Tess Holliday for some time now, this national and mainstream exposure is great for our community and the career of an unquestionably talented young woman.

An in-depth StyleLikeU video series, The What’s Underneath Project, with Elly Mayday was released last month in which she talked about her battle with stage three ovarian cancer. Mayday started her modeling career in pin-up and discusses her relationship with her parents, fans and critics, as well as her own body throughout this process. The video interview itself is incredibly well done, showing the 27-year-old progressively removing her outfit and makeup, finishing up with Mayday in her bra and underwear proudly displaying her scar. She’s truly an inspiration.

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE! With the winter weather quickly approaching, outerwear has become a wardrobe staple for the everyday fashionista. With the demands of a fast-paced life, being on-the-go and still looking the part is key. Follow our guide for effortless outerwear options.

COLOUR POP

Pastels are the new blacks and animal prints are neutrals. So long to the ordinary! Take your outerwear to the next level in a pastel pink, or a saturated saffron colour. Don’t be shy. The key to pulling off this look is to keep everything else simple and let your outwear shine.

TRENDY & STYLISH

TEXTURED TOPPERS

Interesting textures can add an instant cool factor to any outfit. Trying a classic silhouette in an unexpected texture extends its lifespan in your closet throughout the seasons. Shearling, leather, and suede are all great options to experiment with this fall.
