Yesterday I had the pleasure of running into none other than Heatherette designer, Richie Rich (this is why I love being in NYC). As much as I love Heatherette's stuff, I was more than excited to meet Richie because I'd heard that he's coming out with a plus size line! We spoke briefly and he assured me that he's pumped for the launch. Back in April, he told the press “It should be cool. I’m coming out with a plus size line, which I’ve never done before; that I’m really excited about because a lot of the girls that approached me — and guys that approached me — are, um, you know, they’re not little twigs." Richie is one of the first high-fashion designers that is pursuing a line for fat girls (and being vocal about it) and I can't wait to see what's in store!
Hear what he had to say at the White House Black Market Press Preview:

SOooo I live in NYC and barely ever meet anyone cool. Besides Lenny Kravitz. That pic was horrible btw my face was sooo cheesy. You are too fab
exciting news! we need more designers to get it together
so exciting! i'm hoping for some super cute cocktail dresses.
That's awesome. I know it's not gonna be above a 24 or 26. Kinda sucks when you wear a 32. =(
i'm with you KrystalBall. i'm madd skeptical about this line.
JEALUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
& excited to see his designs
This is exciting news! I just hope that by plus size he doesn't mean size 14, 16, 18 like Faith 21 :-/
Good job-do what you do! Just be you and you will always be the fabulous Gabi-girl!!!
Interesting! I shall always have a soft spot in my heart for young flirty pieces from Heatherette, Betsey Johnson, Anna Sui, etc. So 90's and so good.
Colour me jealous!
i'm all for this line. i want some overdone and possible tacky clothes! with glitter and sequins and shit! i so hope that it is somewhat the kind of vision that he had w/ heatherette!
