Winter 2012


Chocolat is a label designed to celebrate women with curves - the classical ideal of beauty. The Chocolat woman has a true diva presence. Think screen legends such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor or the modern-day domestic goddess, Nigella Lawson.

With unique design and styling, Chocolat brings out that magical quality which made the likes of Marilyn Monroe a legend – confidence. Confidence that comes from an inner understanding and acceptance of who you are - confidence that comes from recognizing how good you feel in clothes created for curves.

Unique design, beautiful fabrics and attention to detail have ensured these feminine and flattering clothes have a dedicated following of curvy women to a size 22. Chocolat creates the complete wardrobe. From funky leisure and café wear through to intelligent work wear co-ordinates, the collection caters for all occasions – from relaxed casual through to sophisticated evening events.

Designer: Jane Mabee


Jane Mabee joined Chocolat to create the first collection for Winter 2003. An award winning designer with success both here and internationally; Jane has won several Benson and Hedges awards, including the After Five section and the Wool Award.

Jane’s inspiration stems from “anywhere and everywhere...”. She is a graduate of Wellington Polytechnic’s School of Design and an avid collector of books on the art, literature and history of fashion, and her wide knowledge and understanding of fashion’s journey is quietly shared in the collections she creates for Chocolat.

Chocolat is available at Zebrano in sizes 14 to 24 at:
