A Fashion Week for Full Figured Women Coming to NYC
It’s finally here, a full figured fashion week coming June 25-27, 2009 to New York City. I can’t believe it’s really happening! I have long waited for any type of plus size fashion week to occur and showcase fashionable clothing that can fit MY curves on the runway. It is like a dream come true! I don’t know how they did it, but it is really happening and the team at Sealed with a Kiss Designs would not dream to miss a second of it and is going to be part of it.
Fact: In America alone, there are 40 million women over size 14, spending $25 billion a year on clothing, or a quarter of all clothing sales, according to American Demographics. So, why isn’t there a Fashion Week dedicated to full figured women’s fashions? Who knows, but now thanks to DeVoe Signature Events (DSE), an events management company with an extensive background in the production of plus size fashion related events, plus model training and management there will be.
If you visit www.fullfigurefashionweek.com it states that a partnership of independent fashion designers, retailers, event producers, models and plus industry businesses, Full Figured Fashion Week was created to increase economic development in the area of plus size fashion design, clothing merchandising, and plus modeling. Their goal is to highlight the very best in plus size fashions – both retail and independent designers, while providing an inaugural showcase of talented designers, models, stylists and plus industry businesses that serve the plus size consumer.
It is estimated that the Full Figure Fashion week held (June 25-27, 2009) will debut before an audience of over 1500+ plus size fashion enthusiasts, style mavens, models, boutiques, vendors, and the media. The finale showcase, which will take place on Saturday, June 27th, will feature the runway collections of high-end plus size fashion boutiques, retail stores, and independent designers.
This event is going to be amazing and I pity any plus size diva that is not going to be part of it. This is history in the making and we need to come together and support the plus size community. If you are attending the event please be sure to check out our new Plus Size Summer Collection in the finale showcase modeled by the face of Sealed with a Kiss Designs, Plus Model Danielle Line. We hope to see you there!
Special thanks to everyone involved especially De Voe Signature Events for bringing such an amazing event to NYC. For further information and a schedule of events please visit www.fullfigurefashionweek.com
