I had the amazing opportunity to attend the 2006 Project Confidence Awards. Presented by Curvation® and led by Queen Latifah, Project Confidence aims to build a nation of confident women through education and social action. The evening was inspiring, to say the least, but little did I know that there was more in store...

Once the event was over I was introduced to the designer of the Curvation® clothing line, Sunil. I had been told he was a very nice man and an excellent designer but what cannot be expressed second hand is the passion he possesses with every sketch, color and design.

Sunil invited me to the corporate offices of Vanity Fair in New York where I was able to look, and even try on, some of the samples of the new Curvation® Summer Line.

The summer line is full of separates in bold and curve flattering colors. Everything from bathing suit cover-ups to hand bags and belts are unique and designed exclusively for beautiful, curvy women.  

Sunil and I sat down to chat about fashion, the curvy form and the inspiration for his designs...
