Iīve known about Zizzi for some years but fell in love on my vacation. Bought a skirt and shirt and will definitely get some more.
Zizzi is a danish plus size fashion store. All there clothes are on plus size models and they look great!
Even if you donīt want to buy the clothes you can get inspiration from the collections, the magazine and the styling

Thank you for posting the link, Karin! I feel a bit more confident about some of my style choices (those girls look terrific).

Thanks for this link. I really like the styling of these clothes. Do you know if the magazine is a catalog? Can it be purchased? I wonder if it can be sent to the US.

The magazine is like a fashionmagazine but all the clothes are from Zizzi...But I saw there was an article on lingerie in one of the magazines. What I can figure out the last two magazine was published in english.
You can always send an email to them and ask

Thanks for the tip. Allways nice to see some good ideas for plus sized clothing. Isn't it funny how the clothes look danish, though? Seems the danes love those powdery pinks and pale greys.

Thatīs so true!
I love danish fashion, since Iīm very close to Copenhagen I can easily buy danish fashion magazines here and do so.
I like that the models and the clothes of Zizzi has the same attitude as "normal" models and clothes.

I thought those were THE colors of the season for everyone, not just the Danes! But, I am fair skinned and not-quite-so-blonde anymore. Maybe lots of the colors shown will be good choices for me, too. I always want the colors the models/mannequins wear, but that don't look the same on me.

Off to go look at the site.
