If you wear over a size 12, you can forget about shopping at Prada and Gucci, but you needn’t despair of wearing fabulous designer clothes. Salon Z, the entire tenth floor of Saks Fifth Avenue, is devoted to women who wear sizes 14 to 24, and it's one of the most elegant collections, plus-size or not, in town. The labels are world-class -- you’ll find Gianfranco Ferre, Marina Rinaldi, Anne Klein, and Oscar de la Renta, just for starters -- and the service is a dream. For spring, we love Dana Buchman’s sharp houndstooth blazers ($448) and a DKNY black leather jacket that’s tough enough to make Hell's Angels weep ($598).
