Here’s the five models shown in the segment, along with some spring fashion tips according to the style they are wearing.
Model: Liris Crosse
Look #1: Liris is wearing a flutter sleeve jumpsuit in a bamboo print from Eloquii, $99.90, available in sizes 14 – 24 – click here to view and buy.
Fashion tip: Sometimes plus size women are afraid of jumpsuits and rompers. Find one that fits you well. Fit is very important when it comes to jumpsuits.
Model: Michele
Look #2: Michele is wearing a sleeveless watercolor print dress by Lela Rose for Lane Bryant, $148, sizes 14 – 28. (sold out online but available in-stores) — click here to view the entire Lela Rose for Lane Bryant collection.
Fashion tip: Florals are a great print to wear and feel feminine and beautiful. So this spring, don’t be afraid to wear florals.
Model: Desiree
Look #3: Desiree is wearing this eye catching dramatic print handkerchief hem dress from Lane Bryant’s 6th and Lane Collection, $119, sizes 12 – 26 – click here to view and buy.
Fashion tip: Often we get stuck on our favorite silhouette and end up wearing the same style over and over again. Try different things to see how they look and if you like them. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles and show your arms or wear lighter colors. A print like this one is a great way to try lighter colors mixed with darker ones in a sophisticated print while still looking chic and polished.
Model: Shanda
Look #4: Shanda is wearing a V-neck print blouse with destructed jeans from Ashley Stewart. Both pieces available in-store (sizes 12 – 26). Click here to shop all denim and here to shop all tops at Ashley Stewart.
Fashion tip: Lighter washes/shades of denim work well with a dark top or print top and paired with sandals or a pretty shoe can turn this casual look into a chic one.
Model: Haley
Look #5: Haley is wearing a horizontal stripe top from Jessica London, paired with black denim skinny jeans from Ashley Stewart. Click here to shop the black skinny jeans (available in sizes 12-26). Top is sold out online.
Fashion Tip: Horizontal stripes are not the enemy. Paired with a pair of jeans (make sure to buy from a trusted brand like Ashley Stewart; fit is key) and a pop of color via accessories and you will have the perfect chic spring outfit.
The segment really sends out the message to plus size women to step outside the box and have fun with fashion. Here’s some key styling tips to get you spring-ready:
- Feminine – With every new season women grow more accustomed to seeing the runways brim with endless inspiration. As the trends begin to take shape, they expect for all the past designs and modern looks to be weaved once again by the bold, the sultry, the retro and the impossibly feminine motifs. Find what feminine looks work for you. Check out Lane Bryant, City Chic and Igigi for some great feminine looks.
- Denim – There is denim for every occasion, from destructed cloud wash vests with a bold waistband skirt at the office to belted denim dresses and a pair of strappy heels, which would kill on a night out. So there you have it: Denim is appropriate everywhere and anywhere. Or at least that’s what the runways told us. Ashley Stewart, Torrid, Avenue and Lane Bryant all have great denim to choose from.
- Bright and Bold – This spring’s collections are being shown with bright patterned separates, bold, solid staples and flashy accessories. So move away from the bland beige, boring black and neutrals. Color is the name of the game and Ashley Stewart is winning with electric colored blazers and vibrant pants. Eloquii and Lane Bryant also have wonderful bold colored pieces as well.

SwimStar All Stars Partnership With Renowned Plus-size Model and Swimsuits For All Ambassador, Denise Bidot
Inclusive Swimwear Brand Collaborates with Prominent Plus-Size Model Denise Bidot to Empower Aspiring Models…
Swimsuits For All, a pioneer in inclusive swimwear, proudly introduces its inaugural SwimStar All Stars campaign in partnership with renowned plus-size model and Swimsuits For All ambassador, Denise Bidot. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, nearly a decade following Denise’s groundbreaking “Beach Body, Not Sorry” campaign with Swimsuits For All in 2015, which showcased unretouched imagery aimed at promoting unapologetic confidence.
Denise Bidot and Swimsuits For All have jointly unveiled the SwimStar All Stars nationwide search, dedicated to discovering emerging talent in the realm of swimsuit modeling. Encouraging aspiring models to share their personal narratives, the initiative aims to inspire women of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. Following a rigorous selection process, Brittany Wilborn, Camryn Henry, and Sharon Clawson emerged as the chosen winners. In January 2024, these models embarked on a transformative journey to Harbour Island, where they had the unparalleled opportunity to shoot alongside Denise under the expert direction of internationally acclaimed photographer and director, Ben Watts.
Reflecting on the initiative, Denise Bidot remarked, “This was a truly exceptional opportunity to celebrate the diversity of plus-size models and cultivate an atmosphere of support, empowerment, and knowledge sharing. The camaraderie on set was palpable, and I am deeply honored to impart the wisdom and insights I’ve garnered throughout my career. Opportunities like these are scarce for plus-size models in the industry, and it has been a privilege to collaborate with the exceptional team at Swimsuits for All to bring this campaign to fruition.”
The models showcased the latest swimwear offerings from the Swimsuits for All 2024 collection, featuring innovative designs tailored to meet the diverse needs of women, including:
Feel-good Fits: Addressing common concerns such as tummy bulges and fit issues, Swimsuits for All offers a range of fits designed to instill confidence and comfort in every body. Incorporating features like Power Mesh for a smooth, flattering silhouette, and adjustable straps for customizable support, the collection caters to various body types.
Bold Prints & Colors for Summer: The summer swimwear collection boasts vibrant colors and captivating prints, injecting excitement and personality into beach and poolside attire. From vivid neon hues to tropical motifs, the collection encourages self-expression and style experimentation.
Liquid Shine: Introducing Liquid Shine, a striking swim fabrication characterized by a glossy, liquid-like finish, adding an edgy allure to beachwear. Available in multiple silhouettes, including bikinis, Liquid Shine ensures you stand out with confidence.
Bikinis that Suit You Best: The Mix & Match Bikini collection offers a personalized approach to swimwear, allowing individuals to mix and match colors and silhouettes for a bespoke look tailored to their preferences.
Beyond showcasing inclusive swimwear designs, the SwimStar All Stars campaign embodies a celebration of women uplifting one another in an industry often marked by competitiveness. Throughout the week-long shoot, models engaged in one-on-one sessions with Denise, fostering meaningful dialogue about the evolving representation of plus-size bodies in swim and fashion.
Jordan Hauser, Senior Director of E-Commerce & Marketing, expressed, “This campaign transcends conventional notions of body positivity and representation in the swim and fashion industries. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and authenticity in reflecting the diverse experiences of our customer base. We are committed to fostering a movement where women find strength in unity, and we are thrilled to embark on this journey alongside Denise Bidot, one of the industry’s foremost advocates for inclusivity.”
The summer 2024 swimwear collection is now available. For further details about Swimsuits For All and the SwimStar All Stars campaign, please visit www.swimsuitsforall.com.
