(Re)Shop

Went to a great little shop in Brooklyn over the weekend called Re/Dress, where owner Deb Malkin offers vintage and modern plus-size wear in a multitude of styles. Deb invited shoppers to meet Alyssa Roberti, a senior at Parsons who is fighting to put together a plus-size line. Go Alyssa! Also managed to pick up a couple pair of jeans, a cute jacket and some earrings. Was fun to go to the shop just to check out the rockabilly/Varga style of the saleswomen there. Some of the shop talk centered around Crystal Renn’s new bikini-baring Glamour cover, which also features a very helpful piece about finding the right swimsuit for your shape. Then once you wear it…sell it! And wear sunscreen, please. Ladies were also chatting about the upcoming “Full Figured Fashion Week” in NYC this June. Runway shows, panels and shopping. Sounds fantastic and we’re going to find out more details…
