Gisela Ramirez- "Life is a dress up party and you are the guest of honour."

I first came across Gisela Ramirez on Tumblr, I saw a post she had done on how to make your own stockings especially for the larger lady due to the fact that popular lingerie brands do not do stockings big enough or long enough resulting in the dreaded chub rub. This was a valid post, it was not a problem I have come across myself yet I could understand the benefits.
Since then, I have seen many reblogged posts of hers through the blog fuckyeahchubbyfashion (a site I will post about in the future) and from what I have seen, this girl is a serious fashion contender.
Gisela is half Columbian and half Argentinian but was born in Sydney, Australia. She began sewing at the age of 12 customising her normal fat people clothes creating unique fashion statements. She then went on to begin a fashion degree but dropped out near the end of her first year deciding she was better off self teaching.
She established her eponymous fashion label in June 2010 and her first collection was released this summer. Gisela prides herself on her outspoken personality and uninhibited wardrobe choices, which is also seen in her designs.
My favourite piece in Gisela's current collection is the 'Fuck Flattering' tee (show below)

It is a crop tee, a style that is rarely allowed to be worn by anyone above a size 12 is seen worn by a woman who is not only fat, but beautiful.
Gisela's range also features sheer fabrics, leotards and another favourite of mine, the bondage skirt

This skirt emphasizes the curves on a larger woman and it exposes all the parts the fashion world wants anyone above a size 0 to cover.
Just from this small collection it is clear to see that Gisela is a real contender in the fashion world and I truly hope she gets all the success she deserves.
As well as her fashion line, she is an administrator for a Sydney based non profit organisation named 'Corpulent Caucus' which meets fortnightly and promotes fat acceptance.
