BOSTON, April 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Jessica London, a distinguished plus size women's clothing brand in the portfolio of Redcats USA, is introducing a new summer clothes collection by "guest designer" Diane Gilman(tm), a fashion expert and TV personality who knows exactly how to fit and flatter a woman's body.
The Jessica London Summer clothing and apparel catalog is scheduled to be in-home on April 30 and will feature a special collection of Diane Gilman(tm) designs created especially for the Jessica London customer. The plus sized clothing collection will include novelty knits and prints that play off of her famous fitting five-pocket jean and a one-of-a-kind embellished denim jacket. On April 26, the Diane Gilman(tm) collection will go live on the web at JessicaLondon.com. As part of this launch, visitors will have the added bonus of being able to link to an interview with Diane.
Diane Gilman(tm) has been a household name for the last several decades, designing clothing for celebrities and major department stores -- beginning in the 1970's with her Design Studio in San Francisco, to the 1980's in New York when she introduced Washable Silk to America, to the 1990's where she became a familiar television personality. Diane is now a Foundational Fashion Personality with a multi-tiered clothing collection based on "The Dream Jean", the first pair of jeans fitted and shaped especially for the Baby Boomer. Moving with the times, Diane not only understands the needs of the Baby Boomer generation, which she has been catering to since the beginning of her fashion career, she also knows the plus size customer and designs her clothing and fashions to fit this body type.
Designs from the Diane Gilman(tm) clothing collection will also be featured in the Jessica London Fall catalog, building on Jessica London's reputation for offering a wide range of quality, plus size fashions that empower the "everyday" woman to dress with confidence.
