I usually order the clothing online as the Montreal store unfortunately doesn’t carry it. “Few people know that Anthropologie has a very nice plus-size clothing section. Such easy-to-wear fashion!” For boho pieces: Anthropologie I’m in love with their Louis jacket at the moment-I’ve been eyeing it since it appeared on the site! The Martin blouse, which I own in a soft lilac shade, is my go-to shirt when I want to feel pretty. She wanted to create an inclusive clothing line (each piece goes from 0X to 4X) that features timeless, sustainable and well-cut clothing pieces. “Viviane Lachapelle, the Montreal designer behind Lachapelle Atelier, is an amazing artist. Her pieces are impeccably cut and amazing quality, and make me feel feminine and trendy.” For elegant separates: Lachapelle Atelier I have a couple of dresses and a denim jacket that I just adore and wear so often. Almost all her pieces go up to an XXL now, which fits me perfectly. “I’m a huge fan of Montreal designer Eliza Faulkner. I just know they’ll have some incredible sequin pieces that’ll look just right on my body type.” For dreamy dresses: Eliza Faulkner “ Asos has a wide selection of plus-size styles that are anything but boring! Whenever I have a black-tie gala or other super-chic event that I need to attend for work, Asos is my go-to. I also really like the in-house collection, which features really nice, timeless staples with elevated details at affordable prices.” For formal pieces: Asos Curve I’ve bought some incredible pieces by Ganni (my fave designer brand at the moment), Mara Hoffman, Marina Rinaldi and Baja East. “Just like any other fashion-obsessed gal, I looove designer styles! 11 Honoré is an online store featuring trendy plus-size women’s clothing that’s all designer. As long as I love what I wear, I feel beautiful and confident.” Here’s where she shops.
“I also love to wear crop tops, oversized coats, knee-high boots (I buy those on Eloquii as they’re specifically made for bigger calves and are cheap and chic), super baggy jeans and tiny purses, all of which are supposed to be ‘unflattering’ for bigger bodies. Pietracupa loves vibrant colours, fun fabrics, cool shapes and skin-tight dresses. I’m a big advocate for inclusivity and body diversity, in my work and in my personal life (and on my Instagram!)” Bringing diversity to the table is the main reason I do what I do. “I’ve been working in the women’s magazine industry for the past 13 years now.
“Women’s magazines taught me this was all a big no-no for big girls -remember when fashion writers would give do’s and don’ts tips? Ew!” That’s part of the reason she pushes for visibility in her work. Montreal-based magazine editor (and one of The Kit‘s 21 Best Dressed Canadians) Joanie Pietracupa remembers feeling rejected by the fashion world when she was younger. To highlight some of them, we asked six impeccably dressed Canadian women to share the inclusive brands they love. The good news is that there’s more choice available in inclusive or plus-size fashion than ever before, and the options are so good. But the fact is, people of all sizes want to express personal style and wear beautiful clothes, made with gorgeous fabrics in a range of silhouettes, colours and prints. While there certainly has been a push for fashion brands to expand beyond straight sizing in recent years, l imited in-store availability, exorbitant shipping costs and fewer styles to choose from are still common challenges. Let’s get real: Finding stylish clothes larger than XL isn’t easy.
