Spiegel catalog launched their For You from Spiegel plus-size collection in 1989 with [[Linda Arroz]] as their official consultant and spokesmodel.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1990-12-19/entertainment/9004140955_1_waist-clothes-fabrics |work=Chicago Tribune |first=Marcy |last=Mason |title=Make The Most of Your Best Points |date=19 December 1990}}</ref> The three-year For You campaign included opening brick-and-mortar retail locations in upscale shopping centers. Previously, Spiegel had only been a mail-order merchant. As part of the full-scale plus-size outreach, Spiegel produced fashion videos that featured advice from image consultant Arroz, with commentary from some of the plus-size models who appeared in the video and catalog. Arroz became the fashion editor of ''BBW'' magazine after her stint with Spiegel. By the mid-1990s, all For You from Spiegel retail locations had closed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/spiegel-inc-history/ |title=History of Spiegel, Inc. – FundingUniverse |website=www.fundinguniverse.com}}</ref>
