When I attended Plus North last month, I had the pleasure of meeting
Nicky Rockets, t-shirt designer extraordinaire. He's the husband of plus-size bombshell
Betty Pamper, and as a team they run an amazing body-pos business. I'm not usually someone who gravitates toward t-shirts, opting instead for dresses and other such girly things. But I adore the curve-spiration of these designs. Slogans like "Do you want curves with that," and "Invasion of the killer curves," caught my eye the second I saw them.
What is most special about this brand, to me, is that the designer is male. The size acceptance movement is primarily run by women, for women, and it's not often you see men joining in and taking notice of sizeism within our society. Nicky Rockets is different. He embraces size inclusivity and caters to women sizes Small to XXXL, all the while promoting positive body image and a love of curves. I was lucky enough to be able to interview Nicky, and
feature him and his brand on Bustle. So I won't rant too much on here. I'll just show you some photos of myself wearing his "Mutiny" top, which I paired with this wonderful pencil skirt from
Fashion to Figure. The whole look is a bit sexy pirate, and I definitely love that.
