Last week was the launch event for the second Cut For Evans collection. Hosted at the Evans Flagship Marble Arch store in London it was packed full of fashion editors, fabulous plus size bloggers and fashionistas alike. The champagne was flowing, glitter lips were sparkling and of course the Cut For Evans range was on full display.
I had the pleasure of meeting the two lovely designers of the new collection, Ellie Northway from Nottingham Trent and Eve Turley from Kingston University. The two gorgeous ladies were lovely to talk to but I HAD to ask them why they turned their hand to plus size designs when, them themselves wouldn’t fit into the range. But their responses were awesome. They explained how creating curves within designs and really looking at pushing colours and patterns against what’t already out there with plus size fashion felt empowering, and they want to empower all women, regardless of size. Can I get a hell yeah!?
I love that this collection embraces colour and pattern but really has pieces that can be worn every day. The designs from Eve and Ellie entwine with each other to pretty much create a capsule wardrobe of blues, reds and purples. One of my favourite pieces has to be the Purple Digital print bomber jacket. It’s such a versatile piece and the print is mesmerizing. It’s one of those pieces that can be dressed up or down and it will never leave my wardrobe.
I wore an Evans bright orange crepe swing dress to the evening. It was super comfortable and it’s amazing how orange is actually a really versatile colour. It’s just about giving it a go. It’s available in store on on the Evans website and it’s one of Look Magazines favourite pieces this season.
It was a party filled evening, really celebrating the new range and plus size fashion in general. Evans are making waves not just in the Cut For Evans range but across the board. It’s an exciting time for plus size fashion and I’m thrilled to be a part of it!
What do you think of the new Cut For Evans range?
