#FitForEveryBody

We all have issues when it comes to clothing our bodies. Whether it’s finding pants long enough, tops with enough or not too much room in the bust, or just finding something to fit a body shape that is between sizes – almost everyone struggles when it comes to getting the right fit. We’ve talked a bit before about how arbitrary sizes are and how size charts are created – but it truly is important to remember – that even if we forced every clothing company in the world (which would be impossible) to carry the exact same sizes and…

Friends of our designer, Mallorie Dunn – Alexa has modeled for SmartGlamour in two look books, two runway shows, and one campaign.

#ImFlattered

We’ve spoken before on the word “flattering”, how it’s definition has been changed and skewed over time – especially within today’s image obsessed society. But – we should also discuss why this matters. Words can be very powerful – and unfortunately, it is often the negative words from others that stick with us. In our ever increasingly visible world of social media – people’s opinions of us can come from across the globe, and with no responsibility, cloaked behind a username. It can often also be the people close to us – our loved ones – thinking they are “doing…

#SameSizeDifferentEyes

#SameSizeDifferentEyes When I was studying fashion design in college – my best friend and I were always amazed that we could share clothing and wear the same size despite our obvious differences in body shape. With 4.5 inches between our heights, and very clear visual disparities in our proportions – it was crazy to us that we could share pairs of jeans (although the lengths would vary greatly) but share we could and did. And now – as a working fashion designer with my own brand and last spring my own pop up shop – I watch and facilitate conversations…
