Fabulous LAUNCHES ITS FIRST CLOTHING LINE “FULLER BUST COLLECTION” Fabulous, The Sun’s lifestyle brand for women, has launched its Fuller Bust Collection, the first fashion range designed in collaboration with 2,500 readers. This initiative stems from research indicating that women with DD+ chests struggle to find well-fitting clothes, significantly affecting their confidence and style choices. Key findings from an exclusive survey include: 64% of readers face challenges buying clothes due to their chest size. Four in five women report that their usual clothes are too tight, gape, show bra straps, or have low necklines. 20% say their breast size negatively impacts their confidence and self-esteem. The limited-edition, seven-piece summer capsule range features five dresses and two tops, all meticulously adapted to perfectly fit bigger busts. Reader collaboration was integral to the design process, with input gathered through Facebook, WhatsApp, email, and the Fabulous website. Readers made key decisions on everything from prints and colors to style and fit. Influencers have modeled the collection, and upcoming Fab Daily pages will showcase readers sharing their sartorial struggles and trying on the new range. Sustainability and ethical practices are at the core of this collection. To minimise waste, production begins only once orders are placed, ensuring supply matches demand. Factory workers receive higher wages, and Fabulous is partnering with Pratham, a charity in India, to fund education centers for children in migrant areas. Buying a dress from this collection supports a child’s education for two months. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/erz9cYqw #SustainableStyle #Retail #ConfidenceInFashion

Fashion month is back. As September sets in, all eyes will be on the runways in New York, London, Milan and Paris to see what trends are bubbling up and holding strong for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. According to Vogue Business, five major fashion womenswear trends are anticipated: Boho Revival with Suede: Boho chic is making a comeback, particularly with suede accessories and clothing. Suede bags, matching sets, and boxy jackets are expected to be popular, driven by brands like Chloé. Earthy Tones and New Neutrals: Earthy colors like sage green and butter yellow will dominate, replacing previous neutrals. These colors will feature prominently in both casualwear and office attire. Bubble and Ruffle Silhouettes: Inspired by the resurgence of 2010s trends, bubble and ruffle skirts and dresses will be in vogue. This trend is tied to the "dollcore" aesthetic and is expected to blend with sporty elements. Animal Prints: Animal prints, especially leopard, will continue to be strong, extending into new variations like zebra and snakeskin, particularly in bottoms and accessories. Sport Style 2.0: Sports aesthetics will be influential, with rugby shirts, longline shorts, and preppy themes taking center stage. This trend is influenced by the blending of sports and fashion during major sporting events. #luxuryliving #luxuryfashion #fashionweek #fashiontrends #nyfw #voguebusiness #boho #suede #bubbleskirts #animalprints #sportsstyle #earthtones #newneutrals https://lnkd.in/ez6yMNu8
