There's a great deal of misconception among the general public and those who work outside of the fashion world that the fashion business is a superficial industry. The media and movies are partly to blame for these attitudes and beliefs. If you've watched the movie,The Devil Wears Prada, or the TV sitcom, Ugly Betty, you probably think that all fashion editors are catty and all fashion industry people care about are outward appearances. Although this may be true to some degree, for the most part, there are people in the industry who take their job seriously and can be just as down-to-earth as your average girl-next-door.

Here are just a couple of questions I've read or heard about the topic of fashion and the fashion industry:

Can people actually have intelligent conversations about fashion? The answer to that is a resounding "Yes!" There are many issues going in the industry outside of which celebrity wore what on the red carpet or who is on the cover of Vogue this month. There are fashion designers who are making history from with innovative designs.

Can people make a difference in this world by working in the fashion industry? There is always the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives no matter what you do. Coco Chanel gave women stylish and chic clothing to wear to work. Stella McCartney is using her power to fight for animal rights. Ralph Lauren has donated eco-friendly "denim" insulation to the Habitat for Humanity. People have to remember that fashion is a business just like any other business in this world and there's certainly money to be made in the fashion industry. We all wear clothes, right?

Is the fashion industry to blame for the skinny model debate? For those of you who don't know, the industry decided to ban skinny models from the runway in some countries. Here in the U.S. the Council of Fashion Designers of America set "guidelines" for models to follow, but they still have yet to enforce any rules like Spain or Brazil has. However, to answer the question posed, I think that the industry is partly to blame because there is a great deal of pressure from agents and fashion designers for models to look a certain way. The idea is that clothing looks better on tall and skinny models. However, on the other hand, models do not have to succumb to that pressure.

As the editor of a fashion blog, I've been in contact with fashion bloggers all over the world, public relations people in New York, as well as insiders in the fashion industry. I've learned so much about the business and like I said before, it's just like any industry. You have the good people and then you have those who give it a bad name. One thing is for sure, though. We'll always need fashion in our lives!

When we go to watch a movie at the cinema, we rarely stop and think about all that took place behind the scenes to make the movie possible; the same often happens when we are out and about shopping for clothes, we seldom think about the person who actually created the clothes we buy.

Perhaps, some might not think it very useful to know the background of the people designing the clothes we wear, however I find it interesting and intriguing to get to know more and dig a little deep into the fabric. Just like getting to know what inspires a writer to put thoughts and ideas into words, it is fascinating to me to find out the passions and inspirations of those who design and create the beautiful clothes we wear.

That is why I am today taking a closer look at three unique and intriguing plus size fashion designers, in a bid to bring you a little step closer to those designing the awesome plus size fashions we have available on the market nowadays. Knowing 'where your clothes come from', like a piece of art, will make you cherish them more.

Yuliya Zeltser of IGIGI
A fashion designer born and raised in Ukraine, Yuliya felt the need to provide full figured women with beautiful clothing, when she saw how hard it was for her own mother to find clothes in her size that made her feel like a gorgeous and chic woman. Through IGIGI Yuliya is now able to provide plus size women with clothes which not only make them feel beautiful, but which also accentuate their figure. Yuliya designed from the heart and is also sometimes inspired from her travels around the world and the United States.

Monif of Monif C. Plus Sizes
A very artistic person at heart, Monif C. saw the need plus size women had for stylish and sexy clothing, and embarked on a mission to satisfy this need, and dare we say, Monif is doing a pretty good job at it! Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Monif is inspired by life and her dreams. Her aim is to provide curvy women with colorful plus size fashion which makes them feel stylish, inspired, luxurious and sexy.

Anna Nicole of Jahqoi
Anna Nicole is a rising star in the pus size fashion scene. Coming from Detroit, Michigan, but currently residing in California, Anna began sewing clothes at the tender age of 12. In June 2004 Anna launched ANR apparel as an online retail store, to give curvy women more choices of plus size clothing. She has recently moved the retail site over the newly renamed Jahqoi site. Jahqoi when spelled correctly means: 'I believe' in French. Anna's passion is contemporary, modern, sassy styles.

It is interesting, getting to know a little more about plus size fashion designers and the inspirations behind the clothes we wear. There is a lot more than fabric to a dress, more which can turn a beautiful dress into a meaningful work of art.
