Anyway, cyberspace has been buzzing since the release of the Gabifresh line last Wednesday. Outraged ladies have sent countless complaints about their canceled orders (can't blame them there since I too was a mixture of pissed off and borderline depressive). Fashion bloggers have re-posted the below photos (again, can't blame them because we're FINALLY seeing actual plus-size women modeling swimwear). And tons of women everywhere embraced this line and in turn, their curves. But one of the best pieces of coverage I've seen thus far is this interview with Gabi herself by Teen Vogue. A friend of mine from NYU, and formed Teen Vogue intern sent along this article and I had to pass it along. So check it out, NOW: Gabifresh talking directly about her "Totally On-Trend Plus-Size Swimwear Collection," by Claire Knebl. And while you're at it, definitely check out my aforementioned friend's blog, Carrie Wintour.
P.S. Some pieces are still available on Swimsuits4All, but my guess is not for long, so jump on that!
