GooGoo for Bar III
GooGoo Atkins is a celebrity stylist known for her keen perspective and ability to design clothes. Growing up as what she describes as “plus-sized kid” in a family that couldn’t always afford new clothes, Atkins traces her skills to being forced to improvise and create her own clothing that both fit her well and looked stylish. Today, she brings that inspiration to her styling jobs, as well as to her GooGoo for Bar III Icons of Style collection, which features trousers, jumpsuits, dresses, and more, all made for plus-sized women to wear and enjoy. GooGoo says, “The curvy community is where my heart lives” and her GooGoo for Bar III collection proves it in the most beautiful way possible.
