The last couple of years has seen an increase in the number of celebrity designers - either going solo or designing for well known high street stores. Kate Moss, Lily Allen, Jodie Kidd to name a few - but where are the plus size celebrity designers?
Beth Ditto of Gossip has expressed her interest in working with Topshop. This hasn't materialised which is a shame as I think Beth would make a great contribution to the plus size fashion industry.
Another curvy celeb with great style is Adele, who I would love to see share her style with us.
Which celebrities would you like to see design for the plus size fashion industry?

Long Live The Dress
Good news for those of you who love to dress with a little girlie influence - Early speculation from New York Fashion Week indicates that the dress is to stay on trend through Spring/Summer 08. Many of the designers shown so far have featured the dress heavily in their collections, even if the styles are very different. For me, two designers made an impression yesterday...
Gwen Stefani took to the catwalk with her young son Kingston as part of the Lamb show in a black & white shift. You can create this look in plus sizes with this black & white wrap dress.
But in a season that looks set to be dominated by the dress, the big success so far is Marchesa, which showed gorgeous strapless goddess gowns in lace and tulle destined straight for the red carpet. There was also a definite Indian influence with gold applique details & colors taken from spices of the region, including lemongrass and saffron. This gorgeous red carpet look can be picked up in plus sizes from Curvety.com, one of the only UK specialists in plus size eveningwear.

Valentino Retires
It was announced on Tuesday that the legendary Italian designer Valentino will retire after two final collections for October and January.
The 75-year-old couturier has dressed the world's most glamorous women for decades & in July celebrated 45 years in the business. He is known for his trademark scarlett dresses, a look which can be replicated in plus sizes at Curvety.com'
It's the perfect moment to say adieu to the world of fashion,' Valentino said in a statement, adding that he would present his last ready-to-wear collection in Paris in October and a final haute couture line in January. 'Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that,' he said.
'I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.'
The fashion house have today announced that Alessandra Facchinetti has been appointed to design all the women's wear lines for Valentino after his retirement. 'Alessandra Facchinetti is the designer who can interpret and continue the legacy of Valentino's core values at their best. We know we can also capitalize on her significant experience in designing for some of the most important and successful fashion companies where she acquired a great expertise,' the chief executive officer of Valentino Fashion Group said. Facchinetti, 35, said she was 'honoured to be part of this new project. Mr Valentino has always been a point of reference for me, an icon for his style and elegance.'
