Dia and co outfits plus#

I mean I would love to be able to personally style all of you if I had the time but I know you are in good hands with the Diateam. I hear from so many of you that you would love help finding great pieces for your wardrobe and that you aren’t 100% comfortable in pulling outfits together so that is why I think Dia & Cois such a great option for so many women. I respect and admire their ability to make change happen and in a very short period of time.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard that you can get Slink jeans for example up to a size 28 through Dia & Co. They also pushed back to some of their partners and told them they needed to increase their size range. That’s right, they didn’t make excuses, they made it happen. So they went ahead and made bold moves like creating their own in house brands that offer up to a size 32. When they first started out they quickly realized that there were limited options that went above a size 24 which made it difficult to service ALL of their customers. The other thing that has really impressed me is their push to have as many brands as possible available in sizes 14 to 32.

And the fact that she is plus size herself is just what the industry needs because she gets it, she knows what it is like to be able to not find the clothes you want in your wardrobe in your size. The tenacity and drive that their co-founder and CEO Nadia Boujarwahshows and has instilled in her team is so inspiring. This is a company that is not afraid to tackle the issues that the plus size consumer faces head on and they will not settle to be just the status quo.

This past winter during fashion week they also launched the campaign “Move Fashion Forward” where they challenged the world’s top designers to dress the 100 million American women who wear plus size clothing. And as the title sponsor for The Curvy Con this year they definitely brought things to a whole other level. I also got a chance to tour their head office and see the magic in action. I had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with the team first when I was in Atlanta for the TCF Style Expo and then when I was in NYC for The Curvy Con and NYFW. If you have a US mailing address like I do then you would be able to sign up for their services. But don’t worry, they know there are a ton of us outside the US who are loving what they are doing and they are working on it. I am going to say upfront that unfortunately right now their services are only available in the US. This styling service has been around for over 3 years now and it has quickly grown into a top brand within the plus size community. So today on the blog we are going to talk about something a little different and that is the unique services offered by new powerhouse brand Dia & Co. It certainly is going to be cooler this week, I might actually have to put some socks on lol. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.Happy Monday peeps! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and the week is off to a great start.
