There are times when I'm happy about the progress that seems to be happening when it comes to fashion for the larger sized woman, and there are times when I'm not so excited!
I'm excited when I see the types of design and products that are offered to us curvy divas. Beautiful, well-made clothing, some of them by house designers, or by brand named designers; accessories to die for, and the men who love us! There are now many different Medium, such as magazines and online fashion stores geared towards us, not to mention the many big and beautiful bloggers out there!
I don't get excited however, when I keep seeing clothing that makes absolutely no sense, such as those that are just like shapeless sack cloths, or the designers and/or the industry itself that keeps putting us in the corner! "No one puts baby in the corner!" Sometime it seems as if we're being thrown a bone to keep us happy and sated! I was excited to read about an upcoming Plus Sized Fashion Weekend in London (LFW) via Refinery29.com, scheduled for February 15 and 16, 2013. Libby Banks writes that she's thrilled to find out about the launch of this Plus Sized Fashion Weekend which will be at the same time as London's Fashion Week! They will be showing collections from international designers aiming to "enhance, educate, empower, and support", us curvy divas! Go to the article here.
I noticed something else in the photograph of the model used for the article, (a) she's not a plus sized model, although her chin seems to be a little rippled, and that alone says nothing. (b) the dress she's wearing looks tight, ill-fitting and unflattering and (c) that's not a very photogenic picture used either!!!! Why would they put someone who looked so uncomfortable in an article where they are seemingly happy about the Plus Size Industry? Maybe I'm just being picky?! I'm sure you do care about how you look and how your style is represented right curvy divas? If it is not visually appealing to us, why would we be interested? Got it Fashion industry? We do not go around looking as ill-fitting as that model used in the article! Hopefully, the fashion week will go well! I will keep an "eye" out for it and report back to you!

So the plus sized fashions will be running con-currently with the regular and size zero fashions? On the same stage? or Not? I'm unsure about that. If not, why can't they be showed on the same stage? Plus size fashion will be on it's own catwalk? So, I guess we should be happy that it will be running the same time as the regular London's Fashion Week, instead of on different dates, different times of the year, as they did last year?!
