Celebrity stylist, Susan Moses, has worked with some of today's most well known entertainers as well as plus size models. She is highly sought after in the plus size industry, where image can make or break a models career. In this month's issue of PLUS, Susan opens up about her role as a top stylist and shares her tips for curvy women.

Maddy: I heard your name for many years before I ever met you. You are the most well known "curvy" celebrity stylist. How did you get started in this industry?

Susan: Wow, you are taking me back in time, I have had quite a journey. I have been styling for at least eighteen years. I pretty much dabbled in different areas of the fashion industry. While attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice, I decided that I would try different things to make extra money. Aside from my interest in criminal law I was also intrigued by the fashion Industry. I dabbled in many areas of fashion from being a plus model to working in showrooms, visual merchandising, retail sales at a very high end boutique in Soho and working as a dresser during fashion week. Around 1992 I was asked to be the fashion director for the very short lived African American life style magazine "SHADE." The fashion pages of Shade got a lot of attention from the music industry, and at that time there was a considerable demand for stylist. My first high profile client was the R&B singer "BRANDY."

I worked with Brandy for seven years, and during that time I even relocated to Los Angeles, where I also worked as her personal wardrobe stylist for the sitcom  "Moesha". Those were good times, I will always be grateful for those years, I learned so much and I met so many wonderful people.

Maddy: Who have been some of your most exciting clients to date?

Susan: I have had the pleasure of working with so many over the years, sometimes you work with a client once or twice and sometimes they call on you for years. You just don't know, I just always go in with an open mind. I have worked with Kathy Bates, Brandy, Hillary Duff, Queen Latifah, Monique, Da Brat, Angela Bassett and Angie Stone to name a few.

Maddy: One of your most well known clients is Queen Latifah. Even with the weight loss and breast reduction, she is still "top heavy". What is your advice for women who carry most of their weight above the waist?

Susan: Funny that you should ask that question because I am also fuller on the top. The most important thing is to be fitted properly in your bra, an ill fitting bra can ruin an outfit. Minimizers and body briefers are also wonderful options because they give your beautiful blouses, tops and  sweaters a smoother fit. I also think that v-necks are most flattering to women with a fuller bust because they elongate your neckline.

Maddy: You worked with Emme on the show "More to Love". Can you tell us about this experience? Did you also dress the other women on the show?

Susan: I was hired to only dress Emme on the show More To Love. We had a really great time while filming; there was lots of laughter and long hours. The reality of reality television is that those cameras are going all the time so there is always something wacky going on. Aside from being absolutely stunning Emme is a complete joy to work with.
