JMS/Just
My Size® Touts Style at a Value at
Annual
Fashion Show in New York City
“At JMS, our focus is on delivering great
style designed exclusively for the plus-size woman at an unbelievable value,”
said Maria Teza, director/general manager for JMS, which has grown to become the nation’s No. 1 plus-size apparel
brand. “During our 25-year history, JMS has become the destination
for women size 16 and larger because they know we are dedicated to her shape
and her needs.”
The JMS fashion show began with styles from
the upcoming holiday season available at Walmart stores, including dramatic
animal print tops accented with metal chains, sleek
jeggings paired with embossed velvet boyfriend shirts and long knit sweater
coats worn with sequin-embellished tops.
New Easy Dressing by JMS
emphasized mix-and-match options incorporating base coordinates such as a
slimming solution pant and cocoon jacket worn with jewel-toned tops.
“Heading into
spring, we definitely wanted to emphasize the importance and versatility of
dresses,” said Janet Freedman, creative director for JMS. “We will be introducing
dresses for work and evenings out as well as more casual looks and several maxi
styles.”
JMS previewed a flattering printed surplice dress that can be
worn belted or on its own, as well as a new version of the Little Black Dress
with ruched vee neckline and flutter sleeves.
The military
trend that will be key for spring was represented with
crisp ľ-sleeve tunics in olive paired with cargo capris with lacing at the hems.
A sneak
preview of summer capped off the show, including a brilliant ombre medallion
print tunic worn with leggings from Evolution by JMS, a vibrant purple tank with lace edging shown over jeans, and a
gauze maxi dress with wood bead accents.
“JMS styles are
updated every eight weeks, so we are always giving her a reason for coming back
to shop,” said Freedman. “And, more
important, the plus-size woman knows she can count on JMS to deliver styles that are designed especially for her shape.
“As a
plus-size woman myself, I understand the importance of fit, and every detail is
considered as we transition from concept to customer. From the selection of fabrics and shape of
the sleeves to the placement of the seams and design of the neckline, we
understand how to complement and flatter her curves.”
