Curves and Fashion Shows!

Hi Beautiful People! Last night I attended Fashion Bang Out Fashion Show in Newark, NJ; this event also supported Breast Cancer and many audience members participated in the Walk that took place earlier in the day. I was also there to support one of Fashion Plus's Beauties of the Week who walked in the show. I'm here to tell you that the designers showed up and showed off! Of course, I have my favorites and YES! there were defiantly crowd pleasers, but (there is always a but right?) I wanted to see more from the full figured community. The designers had great collections only most were for the "sweet & petite" and not for the "thick & sexy." Although, there were two designers who showcased mostly plus size garments( only very few sweet & petite) one of them show outfits were geared more for a older woman. What happened to the early 20's to mid 30's ladies?

The other designer was in a word "AWESOME" she had a different style that really brought out a woman's curves no matter the age range she was in. Most of her outfits were African inspired, and for me it was love at first sight. Unfortunately I don't have any websites, but I promise I will do some digging and post them as soon as I can. I was also happy to see that even the designers that featured small models had a few curvy girls in their roster with beautiful clothing on; however, those outfits won't fit a woman bigger than a size 18.... Well, we win some; we lose some...

Overall, we were kind of left out. For all the progress Full Figured Fashion has made there was almost no evidence of it last night. That was the only part I would have changed( well that and I would have gotten a better seat).

The fashion show itself was a great event to attend; I really got inspired by the hosts, the presenters, the designers, and last but NOT least the confidence of the models! I don't know if I could ever do what they have done, but I do know one thing they came there with a purpose and the fulfilled it with not even a hint of hesitation; and for that and the awareness that was raised for Breast Cancer I salute you!

Stay Beautiful, Confident, and Sexy!
