The PLP Media Kit: Background

Peggy Lutz is a fashion designer specializing in glamorous clothing for plus- and super-size women. A former theatre actress and costume designer, Lutz founded Peggy Lutz Plus, Inc.— one of the nation's only couture lines for large women— in 1985 in response to repeated requests from plus-size performers, artists and colleagues for garments in their sizes befitting their glamorous lifestyles and important work.

The PLP studio and store (located in Windsor, California— approximately an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge in California's wine country) have evolved into a international fashion resource for women of size and taste with the addition of her ever-expanding CyberStore, servicing clients on all continents for all occasions.

Peggy, who believes that fashion has no size, delights in transforming the lives of women who previously have been overlooked by the clothing industry, as documented in the continually growing archive of client Raves she receives daily. "My clients, when skillfully dressed, have dizzying cleavage and dangerous curves," she says with a smile. That confidence Lutz exudes in the long-neglected women she dresses is contagious— her clients are infused with it from the moment they first try on their PLP designs.

High-profile PLP designs have included a touring wardrobe for Jazz chanteuse, Patti Andress (of Tuck & Patti), a dream outfit for Aretha Franklin, screen ensembles for Academy Award winning actress Kathy Bates, a wedding gown for a feature episode of The Roseanne Show and stage ensembles for stars of The Vagina Monologues.

The Peggy Lutz Plus collection of extraordinary designs including bridal fashions, resort wear, hot red-carpet looks and wearable art, can be viewed and ordered online where it's available to her worldwide clientele 24/7.

Peggy's goal: To change the way everyday women of size feel about themselves by changing the way they are portrayed in advertising, television, stage and film.
