Show Me Your Closet

I've been looking curvy divas . Searching and reading and trying to find anything, since I wrote about Fashion's Night Out worldwide , and Fashion Week in New York in earlier blog articles, I promised to find out if there were any plus sized fashions featured there.  So far, I've found none.  That's a sad tale really.  I did found out however, that earlier this year, June 2012 to be exact, there was Full Figured Fashion Week !  I wonder why the two can't go together?  Would the thinner people be upset if full sized fashion were featured at that time as well? I think not!  It perhaps has a lot to do with the designers, and perhaps the retailers too, who knows?! FFFW.com gave awards to those who have played unforgettable roles in the industry!  The full figure fashion show had many sponsors, including Lane Bryant and Ashley Stewart.  The plus size fashion magazine, Full Blossom Magazine , dedicated an entire issue to the occasion and events ...

Did you know that Fashion's Night Out (FNO) happened all over the World last week curvy divas ?  It did!   Fashion's Night Out originated in 2009 because of the hard economic times being experienced not just by the retailers in the fashion industry, but by many consumers as well!   The first events held in New York at that time was done to encourage people to shop thereby increasing sales for retailers and the fashion industry .  One of FNO's biggest sponsor is a favorite magazine of mine, Vogue !  In New York, Fashion's Night Out culminates with New York's Fall Fashion Week! Countries such as Australia, Mexico, Portugal and The United Kingdom are among the many that do participate in what is now an Annual fashionista of events!  Retailers and other fashionable establishments held events in their countries. I also love that monies from these events go to different charities as well! To see a list of the countries that participated...

It's that time of the year again when one of the greatest city's in the world, New York, hosts one of it's most fabulous theme, it's Fashion Week!!!  I'm not in the fashion world, but I love it and wish I could be the fly on the wall looking at fashion whizzing by!  Heck, being a fashion photographer is one of the best thing right about now! Although the event started yesterday, (missing it by a day - with the start of Fashion's Night Out on September 5th , of course -more on that later), the online fashion magazine, The Cut , here's a schedule of events listing some of the fashionable events for this week! http://nymag.com/fashion/fashioncalendar/fashionweek/ I am going to seek out plus size designers, if any will be showing their curvilicious designs at these venues!  Image from Eyong Clauretta-Brudi Ashu  a young Blogger I've recently read from a Google search [click link to go to her site]
