Queen Latifah Sparkles at the 2019 Oscars!

04 Monday Mar 2019

Queen Latifah sparkled as she presented one of the Best Motion Picture nominees for the 2019 Oscar presentation. The Oscar red carpet featured unique silhouettes in metallics on Jennifer Lopez, Amy Adams and Emma Stone.

I collaborated with designer Michael Costello to create a classic silhouette using black organza and shimmering pave tone on tone revealing just the right amount of skin.

I am humbled by the success of my Timothy Snell Swimwear Collection with Always For Me. In Style Magazine has just named the (name of suit) as the #1 best zip up to buy! It was my goal to create sexy and chic swimwear inspiring curvy ladies to strut from the beach to cocktails with confidence.

Creating swimwear that makes a woman feel confident in her own skin was a top priority for Snell. “It’s about the fit and exposing what you’re comfortable showing. When a swimsuit fits and looks amazing, it eliminates any hesitation.” Snell continues “Rule of thumb: To feel confident in your choices, look for cuts that accent your best assets.”

Appearance: Steve Harvey Show – Curvy Girl Fashion with Tim Snell

17 Monday Oct 2016

Tags

screen-shot-2016-10-17-at-10-44-48-amAlways funny and entertaining, the Steve Harvey show aired a one-hour special celebrating the Curvy Body. I had the pleasure of returning to the show to do two segments, a “dress for less” fashion segment and a “date night” makeover for a lovely lady.

screen-shot-2016-10-17-at-10-53-07-am

“This man, this man right here is THE man in Hollywood. Listen to me when I tell you this, when it comes to Curvy fashions this is the man that dresses them all. He styles Queen Latifah, Amber Riley, Angela Bassett – just to name a few. This is THE man in Hollywood. Game Over.” 

– Steve Harvey

For the fashion show segment, I presented major red carpet trends and re-created the looks for up to 75% less. Brands are finally recognizing the need for quality pieces that are on trend for the curvy market.

For the next segment I worked with Anna, a guest who needed a “date night” look that would make her feel beautiful and confident. She wanted something feminine and sexy inspired by Melissa McCarthy’s lacy red carpet look.

I chose a fit and flare silhouette to accentuate her hourglass figure and THE color trend of the season “Bordeaux”. Anna was ready for a night out feeling confident, beautiful and feminine.

Trending Now: The Supersize Cuff

The fashion editor in me always finds inspiration from my favorite magazines and this feature is an example. I found it in the pages of the September issue of InStyle. It’s one of those little touches that can give last season’s wardrobe a quick update and it works for every body type.

Michael Kors features the look in his latest collection:

http://www.michaelkors.com/product/striped-french-cuff-cotton-poplin-shirt/_/R-US_319CKF021A

A great tip for curvy ladies:

Purchase a men’s dress shirt with french cuffs and have your local cleaners fit it to your body. Wear the cuffs down with or without cuff links.

photo-15The TREND to indulge in is the chunky heel. For those of you who don’t necessarily like to wear a skinny heel, the chunky heel is a sturdier but sexy alternative. In a sophisticated nuetral or with stylized details there are plenty of options from expensive to inexpensive.

Style Diary: Style Code Live – “Military Madness”

The Camo look is a fashion classic and the way you rock the look keeps it on trend. The folks at Style Code Live invited me to come by and talk about key items to make the trend contemporary and chic.

“…Fashion is to be played with but only with the right elements…” – Tim Snell

(click link to find to shop each of the looks online) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWBL3U1/ref=live_past_shows

Look #1 – The Military Jacket + Black Dress + Stacked Bootie + Vintage Pins

The drawstring creates an hourglass silhoutte that accentuates the waist and brings a feminine look to an otherwise masculine jacket. The chunky heeled bootie works for women who may not want to wear a skinnier heel.

Look #2 – The Camo Capelet + White Tunic + Slouched Pant + Suede Heel

The Capelet is a huge trend shown here in a camo print. It can be worn with a crisp white button down shirt, tunic, turtle neck, tee shirt or contrasting camo print. The Slouched pant brings an urban feel to the look accented with the sophistication of a suede heel. Don’t just wear the military look during the day, wear it in the evening as well.

screen-shot-2016-09-19-at-6-57-47-pm

Look #3 –  The Bomber Jacket + Tee + Pleated Skirt + Bootie

The Bomber jacket is a military classic and this outfit feminizes what would normally be a masculine piece. Many curvy women prefer the look of an a-line skirt and the placement of these pleats flatter every body type. The Southwestern bootie trend is back and this pair completes a flattering monochromatic look with a pop of color at the top.

Style Diary: Timothy Snell + The Torrid Model Search 2015

28 Friday Aug 2015

Tags

Curvy models, Lornalitz, models, plus-size, Torrid, Torrid Denim, Torrid Jeans

The Torrid Model Search was such an unforgettable experience, over 800 women came for the opportunity to be chosen as a model with the brand.  What an amazing day and a pleasure to work with the beautiful and curvy model Lornalitz to encourage the ladies, celebrate the event and hangout with the Torrid team.
I met so many amazing women who were confident, outrageous, hopeful, nervous, beautiful, funny and intelligent. It was so exciting to see so many hopefuls packed inside the store ready to learn about Torrid’s 2015 denim collection and two lucky winners received a head to toe makeover with me.
Torrid has one of the most extensive collections of fashionable denim for the curvy body on the market, from washes and treatments to dyes and cuts with a fab fit. The ladies weren’t just shopping for denim but putting together complete outfits from underpinnings to tops, jackets and dresses, jewelry to shoes and handbags.

Screen Shot 2015-08-15 at 3.33.51 PMI had so much fun visiting the corporate offices at Torrid to check out their new Denim collection for Winter 2015 and connect with my fans during a style Q+A on Facebook. 11863358_10153621877768933_2612400144241971766_n-2

Torrid is a “go to” brand for curvy ladies to find quality denim designed to fit their curves. This was my opportunity to meet the team behind the fit, the style and the quality of the hugely popular denim line.

The reason behind the great fit of the Torrid jean is the painstaking effort of the design and production teams to address the needs of the curvy body with style.

It has been my mission to change the plus-size/curvy landscape in fashion for quite some time. I’m very excited to announce that I will be the host and Co-Executive Producer of “Curve Appeal” a new television series for the BET Network. The official announcement was made in New York this month to an industry audience by Queen Latifah.

Costume Design: The Queen Latifah Halloween Show 2014 – “Maleficent”

Preparing for this season’s Halloween episode was a labor of love for me. I was very excited that Queen Latifah wanted to be Disney’s “Maleficent” for the show. I loved the movie and it was a pleasure to dive into such an extraordinary and unique costume.

quenn-2

The Mother Plucker Feather Company painstakingly constructed the wings based on my design. The finished wings spanned approximately 6ft high by 8ft wide. It took several days and the finished product was so massive it had to be delivered directly to the stage.

635503377615840108-Halloween-Queen-LatifahI designed the gown to compliment the wings with a combination of leather, silk, exotic feathers and the sculpted headdress. It took my three assistants and myself to secure the wings onto her.

Every bit of effort was worth it to see how much she enjoyed herself in the costume.
