Maite Kelly feels comfortable in her skin. Why not in her clothes? The 36-year-old mother designs fashion for mail-order Bonprix. And with great success! No wonder, because the collection is perfectly tailored to plus-size women. Fashionable pieces that range from casual to chic. Every woman feels comfortable in that - no matter in what size. And that's exactly what Maite Kelly is important for: Fashion should do something for every woman - even in big sizes.

Since October 6th, Maite Kelly's new collection is available at Bonprix. Parkas, vests or cardigans are perfect for women of big sizes. But Maite's collection is anything but boring. The sizes go to 56. Here you will find the online shop.

And because Maite Kelly is a real expert in plus-size fashion, we've gathered her best advice for plus-size women:

"Clothing gives me a good feeling to arm myself for the challenges of everyday life. In certain garments I feel strong, in other women. It's important to get a good feeling. "

"In terms of fashion I am very diverse. Sometimes I dare fashionably more, sometimes I like to wear only jumper and jeans - depending on the shape of the day. "

"Comfort is important to me. But I do not want to do without a certain fashionable factor and elegance. Because I still want to feel like a woman. "

"Fashion should be about my character and not the other way around."

"Like most women, I have clothes in the closet that I do not wear. For example, a silk blouse. It is not particularly suitable for everyday use with children. "

"I like to be nice for my partner. But above all for me. "

"I take the liberty of dressing what I want. Even clothes that my husband does not like. I'm completely me. "

"I'm very well prepared for upcoming events. I do not like going out without knowing what to expect. That's why I also plan ahead and put together complete outfits. So pack my suitcase. Besides, I always have an emergency dress with me. "

"My favorite part of the collection is the military coat. He has become especially beautiful and a real it-piece. Great are the buttons. The outfit is perfect in combination with the rocking fake leather leggings. We wanted to break new ground with the look. "

"The multiple possibilities of fashion are what is fun.
