Plus-Size Making a Splash Internationally

Last week I took over the Curvy Fashionista and wrote about plus-size fashion making a debut during New York Fashion week this year.  At the same time,  I was introduced to the term “Belle Epoque Fashion” which translates to “The golden age of fashion.”  While the fan in me of full figure fashion and full figure women agrees one hundred percent in this term part of me says yes no.  I wholeheartedly believe we in the United States are talking about plus-size issues more but internationally more strides are being made than ever.

Full Figured Fashion Week™ Los Angeles: A Time For West Coast Plus Fashionistas to Shine

Two years in New York now it is time for Full Figured Fashion Week™ to hit the West Coast.  Just like I was there to witness and be a part of the first event in New York I am going to pack the blog up and head to Los Angeles.  If you missed the NYC activities you have a second chance to see history in the making!

Gwen DeVoe worked for decades to get full-figured fashion, models and designers respect and attention in the fashion industry. This past June she landed major international coverage for the second annual Full Figured Fashion Week™–from a front-page piece in The New York Times to dispatches on dozens of fatshion blogs and magazines that cover fashion trends for women size 14 and up. Today, DeVoe announced the fall launch of Full Figured Fashion Week™ Los Angeles from October 28th-30th, 2010.

10 Reasons Full Figured Fashion Week™ Matters

The time is drawing closer to the kickoff of the premier plus-size event of the year, Full Figured Fashion Week™.  As I put the finishing touches on getting ready to head to New York I began to think about how important an event like this is and what it means to the full figured/plus-size community as a whole.  Overall, I think that it is important because it lets the world know that we not only know how to do it but do it in a classy professional way.

  1. Full Figured Fashion Week™ allows models to get exposure and experience they may not have previously obtained
  2. Full Figured Fashion Week™ showcases designers who target the full figured community in ways mainstream fashion has failed
  3. Full Figured Fashion Week™ brought together a collection of bloggers the Curvy Collective to report on the weeks activities better than traditional sources
