Hello, I am A’shontay Hubbard, the Owner and Head Designer of Christian Omeshun, a plus size contemporary fashion brand dedicated to catering to sizes 12-32 on a made to order basis. My background with an Associate’s Degree in Fashion & Design from Bauder College, and Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Product Development, coupled with 13 years’ experience as a designer and 7 years as a brand have enabled me build a successful career.

My journey designing for plus size women started with myself struggling to find clothes as a full figure tall woman. Companies used cheap fabric and chose pattern designs that worked against most body types, an attribute that left the plus size market severely underserved. Leveraging the wisdom of my own experiences, and anchored upon my entrepreneurial spirit, I created Christian Omeshun to provide a show-stopping, bold and colorful yet essential and sophisticated plus size garment solution.

A trend and pacesetter in my field, I have built a name for myself as a reliable brand and the go-to place for all your plus-size garment needs. With deep industry knowledge, coupled with an analytical and detail oriented approach, I am equipped to understand the needs of the most discerning women, delivering an experience rooted in customer service, integrity and expertise. My strong fashion and design skills make me a keen advocate for clients, proactively seeking out new ways to enhance my services and continually attain excellence, with customer satisfaction the ultimate objective.

Over the course of my professional life, I have served and consulted with top industry executives of different fields, and travelled extensively. This grants me a sophisticated and nuanced perspective that elevates my current work, enabling me to match clients with the outcome they require. I have also worked with renowned celebrities like the Raven Goodwin, a popular actress featuring in the Television Series Being Mary Jane, who wore our gown to the Soul Train Awards, and Brely Evans, another renowned actress that wore our garments on The Sister Circle.

Among my other significant achievements include featuring in The Curvy Fashionista, Essence, Scorch Magazine, Plus Model Mag, NY Times, Full Figure Fashion Week, BuzzFeed, Refinery 29, and Instyle. Motivated by the desire to become a global expert in my field, I defied the odds to release my latest collection, the Nu Boheme, on Feb 1, 2021, after grieving the recent passing of my mother in early November 2020. I also sell contemporary digital patterns for sizes 6-24 www.indiefashioncreators.com , and have a YouTube channel ASHONTAY dedicated to teaching the business of fashion and sewing tutorials.

A humanitarian to the core, I have set up a Fashion Coaching website and the Indie Fashion Creators, a group for aspiring and upcoming fashion designers where we teach the business of fashion and beginner to intermediate level design courses. With the belief that people, regardless of their physical size, are the root and foundation of our communities; to build strong communities, we must fortify the root! This is my motivation towards using my knowledge and skills to help those whose lives would be enriched by it.
