In recent years, the fashion industry has taken great strides in embracing inclusivity and diversity, breaking away from the narrow beauty standards that once dominated the runway, but we still have a long way to go. Figures like TV-host-turned-fashion-designer Nina Parker are working tirelessly to break the mold by offering fashionable, affordable plus-size fashion. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Parker began designing out of necessity. Being on TV every day, she found it difficult to find fashionable pieces for plus-size bodies. “Largely, the plus-size industry is ignored by high-end merchants,” begins Parker. “My line [at Macy’s] is successful because women feel supported and seen. Having someone represent you is so important, and I hire my models for Macy’s online so people can see different bodies that are plus size and feel seen.”

Despite this, some plus-size people often struggle to feel bold and confident enough to wear bright, show-stopping looks like the ones Nina designs. “You should wear whatever you want to wear. Plus-size bodies shouldn’t have to wear a certain type of outfit. Whatever size you are, we all have insecurities and challenges.” 

From vibrant prints and flattering silhouettes to innovative designs and luxurious fabrics, the world of plus-size fashion is beginning to become a vibrant and thriving landscape, offering an extensive range of stylish options that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. “It’s hard to get out of routine,” says Parker. “With anything, you have to grow. Fashion is so fun and a different way to express yourself.” These 10 pieces from Nina Parker’s collection at Macy’s will have you feeling confident, stylish and ready to elevate your wardrobe.
