Our new category “Fashion Forecast” and Yuliya Raquel’s video interview

Have you discovered it? In our sidebar on the right side we have placed a new logo – it is the entrance to a new category originated by navabi…

“Fashion Forecast” is the name of this category – and it’s all in the name. Because we know what the world thinks about the future of the plus size fashion industry. This is the place where designers, bloggers, celebrities, models, clients and fashion students get a chance to speak. They will all answer to the question “what do you think about the future of plus size fashion?” from different perspectives.

We would like to encourage you to be a part of the discussion, share your experiences and tell us your personal fashion forecast. It will be exciting and we are looking forward to read it!

We have prepared something very special to start with: Yuliya Raquel, founder and designer of the label Igigi, answers to our questions in this video interview. The backdrop: the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The message: life-affirming!

Convince yourself and watch our making of video.

The mother-daughter couples have won our hearts

Mother’s Day is approaching in Germany and in the US. We have taken a look around for mothers and daughters, who have a lot in common.

1. Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow

Talent runs in the family: having the award-winning actress Blythe Danner as a mother and the director Bruce Paltrow as a father, the Oscar came naturally to Gwyneth Paltrow. Mother and daughter get along great and can be admired in the British movie Sylvia.
