The third annual Full Figured Fashion Week 2011 is coming this June and I wanted to share my experience with you girls! If you can go, I say GO, first off it is held in the most exciting city-New York. Secondly, you get to preview before everyone else Fall 2011 collections. Lastly, you meet so many great people! There are a number of events during the weekend to attend from a NYC Shopping Soiree, panel discussions, and runway competitions.
There is something to say about a woman who has confidence. I think she inspires and encourages others around her. Well, let me tell you, I was in a room full of that same confidence. Women my size (some larger, some smaller) but none of that mattered. The energy, style, and sense of self acceptance were out of this world at an event during Full Figured Fashion Week in NYC June 2010. I was only able to attend the final runway show and award ceremony but I had so much fun. Being around so many gorgeous women with curves seeing that you can be stylish, sexy, and successful was so inspiring to me. I am telling you even if you are not so sure and secure as others in your curves this crowd will rub off on you. I felt that it was okay to be me! There was no room for insecurity! We, Us, Our curves were being celebrated and you felt it in the air!
In addition, to this great feeling in the atmosphere of belonging to something that we are usually left out of, was great fashion! Some of the best in plus size designers were showing off their amazing designs! Familiar names like IGIGI, Monif C, and Lane Bryant, but also new designers Susan Moses, OSUN Designs, and KRene designs were showing their per Fall collections. Everyone who is everyone in the plus size industry from models to bloggers was checking out the latest in plus size fashions also. The great thing is that it is open to whoever wants to attend. The festivities start Wednesday June 15th and last through Saturday June 18th for more information on events and ticket go to www.fffweek.com
