Also, are there any designers who focus on plus sizes only? Do you think one day, these designers will be invited to major Fashion Weeks, rather than doing local shows, if at all?

There was a guy named Richard Metzger who did high-end RTW in sizes 12 to 22. He got some attention earlier this decade and in the late 1990s, when Mode existed. He did work for Oprah (when she was heavier), Camryn Manheim, Emme and Queen Latifah. I haven't heard much from him lately.
When it comes to fashion houses (not necessarily designers), Marina Rinaldi (a MaxMara unit) and Elena Miro come to mind. I think Miro was at a Milan Fashion Week...I can remember seeing pics elsewhere on tFs.
