New York-based fashion designer Courtney Smith is a designer who is very precise about using plus size models of color in her campaign. Her campaign puts forth a more diverse, realistic and accepting image of
women, who are normally surrounded by the slim-means-pretty body ideals
portrayed in high fashion editorials and in Hollywood.
The New York-based designer clothing line Rum + Coke, features sizes from 2 to 22 for women. Smith launched her line over a year ago after having difficulty finding clothes she felt good in.
Smith tells PEOPLE: “I started the company, because I saw a need for women who look like me,”. “And I’ve seen how there’s a lack of plus-size women of color in advertising, and we’re such a big population that I would think someone would notice us.”
On diversifying her models she said: “I feature plus-size women of color in my campaigns, because I feel it’s a necessity. We’re largely under represented,” says 25 years old Smith. “But that’s not to say I would never use a white woman.”
Courtney didn't want to exclude any one that's why her line target women between sizes 2 - 22. “I started designing because I’m designing for women who are confident, who are sure of themselves, who are empowered and I think that doesn’t have a size tag,” she says. “There’s not one size or color or weight limit on confidence.”

My love for greeen. For this holiday collection, Coco, the designer behind Rum and Coke was inspired by The Emerald City from the Wiz! Coco did a great job with this designs. It takes a bold lady to rock a green dress but it takes a creative designer to put together green fabrics and designs for a beautiful and chic collection as this.
Coco shared a bit about the Rum and Coke woman, the mission, and more!
