New Plus size line from Melissa McCarthy.....

I was reading an article from jezebel and it seems Melissa McCarthy has caught the designer bug, if thats what you can call it. It seems like almost a right of passage for celebs,musicans,actors to go into the fashion business, if they need to or NOT lol. In case you are not familiar with Meliss McCarthy, she was halarious in bridesmaids (a must see), she of course stars in Mike and Molly and won her 1st Emmy this year. Shes been very hot this year and on top of the things she has accomplished this year, fashion is her next task. Believe it or not that was her 1st career goal as she told Hollywood Reporter,

"

I turned intensely gothic," she laughs, reflecting on her attention-grabbing uniform of kabuki makeup, combat boots and shaved patches of her head. "I think I just loved all of the pageantry of it."

At that time, McCarthy had her heart set on a career in fashion. She and close friend and fellow goth Brian Atwood, now a well-known women's shoe designer, would tear out pages of Vogue and fantasize about their own lines. Her parents beat down the idea of her attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, so she settled on Southern Illinois University, where she briefly studied clothing and textiles before dropping out.

McCarthy is getting ready to launch a retail line for other plus-size women. "Trying to find stuff that's still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible. It's either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle," she laughs, recalling her recent struggles to find a dress for the Emmys. After combing through "9 million dresses with taffeta or shiny bows," she opted to channel that teenage passion and design her own (with couture dressmaker Daniella Pearl).

 I think her line might be great for the modern women in-between those life stages of marriage and kids, but who is starting in her career. She a beautiful women and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with. A curvy woman can really understand  real curvy women, not saying that plus size designers have to be big, but sometimes the little things count, depending on if its a casual lower end line or a more couture line. I will be following this story to see more from her and she is def funny. What do you think of this venture for her?
