Under The Influence

Under The Influence We channeled the current trend for the 70’s sensation in just our own way and with your figure in mind for our spring editorial feature. You don’t have to look like you’re going to a costume party to live the vibe of the season. Have fun, play around with some key pieces you love, and set it off with the perfect accessories. Then cut the line at Studio 54 and dance the night away! Photographed by Cathrine Westergaard and modeled by Wilhelmina Curve model Leona Palmer


It’s

that time of year to throw off winter like an old coat and get excited about the new season. MP wanted to highlight one of the major trends this year by showing you a collection of our favorite current plus items and how to make them pop. We fell in love with the 70’s trend: the flared jean, Halston in all his glory, billowing over-sized blouses and hints of periwinkle blue, and decided to let them run away with the show. We are currently experiencing an extraordinary shift in fashion; one that celebrates the curvier figure in unprecedented ways and highlights it with high-fashion artistry. The old excuses – that there is nothing fashionable available in plus – are out, and while there’s miles to go, let’s enjoy how far we’ve come. Unshackle yourself from preconceived notions of “plus” and join MP in setting the new standard. Enjoy!
