(Cover) - EN Star Style - Tina Knowles says women of all sizes deserve good fashion.
Mother of R&B superstar Beyonc Knowles, Tina is a successful clothing designer for her brand House of Deron, and she has just unveiled her latest fashion collection, Miss Tina by Tina Knowles, exclusively at US store Walmart.
The range features garments available in sizes ranging from US two to 20, because Tina feels very passionately about catering for ladies large and small. She says its no trouble to make clothes in a host of sizes, and shes happy to employ plus-size models.
"We can use different-sized fit models and create things that fit a range of sizes. Whether you're a size 2 or a 22, you deserve good fashion," the designer told StyleList.
Tinas 30-piece collection includes smart evening wear as well as casual sports gear, and most of the items are a bargain at around $20 or less.
Tina says she understands how frustrating it can be when stores only cater for slender women, as she has been unable to purchase items shes wanted in the past due to them being too small. In many American shops stylish clothes are only made up to a size 12 or 14, which leaves bigger women struggling to look fashionable.
"My frustration in shopping was always trying to find sizes. Most stores only carry up to a size 12 or a 14 and they go so quickly. If a woman can't find something, she gets frustrated, explained Tina. (C) Cover Media
