  • The Buzz

    In recent years, the evolution of hip, plus size clothing has made its mark. Torrid Clothing, which is owned by Hot Topic, is the latest retailer to provide rocker looks, urban wear, and city girl style to a fashion market that once only focused on smaller sized women. Hollywood has also begun to embrace larger girls, with American Idol winner Jordin Sparks modeling for Torrid, and Mia Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, inspiring hundreds of girls with her plus size modeling career.
