Tacoma, Washington:  Kade & Vos is pleased to announce that Dr. Deborah Christel, CEO and Co-Founder of Kade & Vos, delivered a presentation and participated in a panel discussion on “Design Methodologies for Every/Bodies: Education and Practices” at the Parsons School of Design in New York on May 14, 2018.

The panel discussion was part of the Event titled “EVERY/BODIES: Conversations on diversity in fashion, addressing bodies that do not follow ‘standards’, towards more varied design methodologies, practices and education”,  sponsored by the Parsons School of Fashion Research, Scholarship and Creative Practices Committee.

Parsons The New School of Design

Dr. Christel’s presented “Fattening Up Fashion”. In her presentation and during the subsequent panel discussion, Dr. Christel emphasized that fashion designers today should follow five key general principles of design in order to be size inclusive across the wide spectrum of body shapes and sizes in the American Fashion Market. These five principles, Connection, Critical Reflection, Language, Equipment, and Activism, are critical in both the teacher/student relationship in design school and in the development of fashion design for an inclusive product offering.

At Kade & Vos, we do not use the term "Plus Size". We feel that calling some sizes "Plus Size" means that these sizes and shapes are somehow different from other sizes.
