Q: What inspired you to design for plus-size women?
A: I started my career in regular size fashion, quickly realizing the limited choice plus-size women had at the time. So I decided to adapt my collections past size 14, which quickly took off. In 1983, I was one of the first French designers to create a plus-size line.
Q: What’s the main difference between the plus-size fashion of Europe and that of North America?
A: Plus-size European women do not want to dress differently than regular size women- they look for styles inspired by European designers.
Q: What type of woman do you envision wearing your designs?
A: Active women looking for figure-flattering, refined, and comfortable styles.
Q:What are some of your favorite trends for Summer 2012?
A: Multicolored, ethnic inspiration, deep stream, and graphic prints. Some 70′s Brigitte Bardot-inspired check fabric in black and white. Asymmetrical shape tops and bias-cut, chiffon dresses.

Wow! How refreshing. This line is fantastic, sophisticated and sexy. I am a 14 borderline size and have been on the line my whole life. I have stayed away from certain styles due to my larger physique. I am a sporty, athletic, active women, 5’8 but have a 38″ chest which holds me back from normal sizing. I do not like showing a little fold or my biceps as they are muscular and do not fit regular sized clothing. Thank you Alain Weiz for your vision and exceptional talent!
Beautiful clothes for real women. Thank you for this (beyond) amazing collection!
There’s not one item I did not like. I would wear it all.
