Clements Ribeiro Designs Plus-Size Range For Evans
It’s been a while since we did a fashion piece for all our plus-size models at the agency, so when we heard that the industry’s latest designer-highstreet collaboration was for plus-size fashion brand Evans, Talent Management had to tell you all about it.
In what’s become the first time high end designers have hit the high street for curvy women, one of Britain’s most influential fashion talents, Clements Ribeiro, has designed an exclusive collection that reflects Evans’ unique prints and designs with a strong 1940s pin up influence.
Much like our plus-size models, designers Inacio Ribeiro and Suzanne Clements both feel that the plus-size market is still largely neglected by luxury fashion.
Ribeiro said of the collaboration: “For our first range we addressed the different body shapes, with styles which are accessible but modern, with an emphasis on prints and femininity. It was our starting point, understanding different proportions and different needs behind a desire for fashion that is not different from the high fashion consumer. Far from being apologetic or patronising, we celebrated curves and voluptuousness.”
Brand Director Fiona Ross added: “We feel there is a space for a serious fashion dialogue in the plus size arena and Clements Ribeiro are keen to indulge the Evans customer with product designs that are original and fashion relevant.”
Shot by leading fashion photographer Angelo Pennetta and styled by Victoria Young, the collection, named ‘Swan’, comprises a range of wearable designs that help streamline the figure, whether you’re hourglass, busty, apple or pear shaped – something that’s proved to be important at Evans, following their extensive research into body shapes.
The range is available in store and online now in sizes 14-32.
