Patricia Stewart Seeks National Recognition for Chinoo Designs, an Apparel Company
Patricia Stewart recognized by Cambridge Publishing for excellence in fashion design

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Patricia Stewart, Designer in business with Chinoo Designs, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for demonstrating dedication, leadership and excellence in apparel design.

After working for over 22 years in fashion, designer Patricia Stewart began to question the industry's standards, which herald thinness and assume all women fit a basic body prototype. Now the designer of her own label, Chinoo Designs, Stewart has created a line of basics that are both flattering and fashion-forward for plus-size women.

Chinoo features a variety of styles that embrace curves, not hide them. She empathizes with women who are similarly discouraged by the availability of clothing that fits their body type. Stewart has focused that frustration on creating a collection of smart, pretty designs that make all women feel beautiful in their own right.

Sewing is in Stewart's heritage. Her mother and grandmother instilled in her a passion for designing and sewing before she was seven. After attending the Academy of Fashion Design in downtown Chicago, she worked as a designer at several Chicago-based companies before coming to Philadelphia.

Stewart has a wide breadth of experience, including rising to the top of one of fashion's most widely-known labels. She has worked as a seamstress, sample sewer, pattern maker and designer and each step has given her an intricate look into the process of creating a high quality garment.

With a European flourish, Chinoo incorporates many geometric angles, lines and shapes into each piece to make plus size women feel taller and slimmer. Her talent for draping can be found on many pieces alongside small, accentuating details. From intricate necklines to silky cowl necks, Chinoo focuses on making women feel good about themselves.

With both a sense of style and purpose, the result of Stewart's first collection is a genuine tour de force for plus-size fashion and extends creativity and fashion to all body types.
