I just received the Nov/Dec 2007 of Figure, and they’ve included clothes by INC International Concepts (pictured above), IGIGI, Carolyn Vaile (Bloomingdales), Jones New York Signature, Ralph Lauren, and others. These pieces are combined with Lane Bryant, Catherine’s, and Fashion Bug pieces, thus more accurately representing how women shop. I have to add, the Charming Shoppes pieces hold their own against the department store brands.

Figure is finally positioning itself to be the brand inclusive plus size fashion magazine that is so desperately needed.
