The Fashion Designers
Douglas Says
Douglas Says has emerged with a new, fresh direction, which he calls “Plus-U.” This collection has challenged me from the very beginning, till it’s completion. This collection had me thinking and designing outside of the boxy-shapes currently available to this customer. The first thing I really wanted to redesign was the title “full-figured”, so from here on out it’s called “Plus-U”! He is the author of a new book, entitled A Muse. http://www.myspace.com/douglassays
