Make Way for the Big Girls: Target is finally showing plus size fashionistas some love by rolling out Ava Viv- their first plus size in-house brand. The collection, which will be available in stores starting in February comes after a few months of aggravating its curvy customers by not offering larger sizes in the upcoming Lily Pulitzer collaboration in stores, and more head shaking shenanigans. The spring collection has 90 pieces in total ranging from sizes 14W to 26W- all co-signed by three plus size fashion bloggers Gabi Gregg, Nicolette Mason and Chasity Garner (who ironically threatened to boycott Target) and will hit the stores next month. To read more about the story and see the entire collection read here.

Rock Out With Your C*ck Out: Designer Rick "You Gon' Learn TaDay" Owens had tongues and ahem- other things- wagging when male models rocking his menswear Fall/Winter 2015 collection came stomping down the runway pantless and sans underwear. Owens, known for pushing fashion boundaries had this to say backstage after his show, "Nudity is the most simple and primal gesture. It packs a punch..." 
No word yet on which one of your favorite rappers will be the first to be seen in the collection.


RIP Vince Camuto: Iconic shoe designer Vince Camuto passed away from cancer on last week and will be remembered for his contributions to the mid priced shoe range. The quiet shoe giant was one of the co-founders of Nine West, a business partner to Tory Burch and Jessica Simpson, and has collaborated with BCBG, Banana Republic and more companies.  According to designer and long time friend, Tommy Hilfiger, Camuto was the master at making attractive and affordable shoes. A private service will be held in Greenwhich Village tomorrow.
