Sewing News LIVE ? Angela Wolf talking with Ashley Nell Tipton ? Winner of Project Runway Season 14 ? Ashley designs beautiful clothes for the full figured woman. She says: “My collection is a full figured collection for the woman in her 20’s or 30’s who is a chic rocker! My collection is an artful combination of glamour and street fashion. I love color and I’m very inspired by curvy women and helping them feel good in their clothes. I want to offer plus size women the opportunity to wear fun colors and to avoid the pit-falls of only wearing black because many curvy girls think it is the only color that is slimming.”
