Why Mindy Lahiri Should Be Every Girl's Style Icon

Mindy's Style: Dr. Lahiri is not shy about her size — she's not built like a stick, nor does she really want to be that way. She wears flattering clothes and has the confidence of "Beyoncé Pad Thai."

SP's Tip: "Looking at the financial aspect of it, [designers] would do so well if they just brought cooler clothes to the plus-size market. Like, just because you're a size 16 doesn't mean you want to wear cashmere? The fashion industry doesn't quite get the marketability of it. I think that, if they were able to do plus-size in luxury fabrics, it would do very well. They'd have to learn to proportion it — it's going to change the numbering. You wouldn't just do 16, 18, or 20. You would do a 20A, which is top-heavy, or a 20B. And knowing that those proportions are going to change, you would probably do smaller runs, but there's a market there that people haven't yet tapped into."
