Show Me Your Closet

One of the things I loved about working with DOFW was the diversity in the articles they featured. They were not afraid to acknowledge that curvy women love fashion too! I enjoyed discovering new designers, one of whom I interviewed for the magazine, Lakisha Livingston-Brown, the reigning Mrs. San Diego 2013 , who was also a plus size model!   She started her own fashion line Z by Zevarra , and debut a new website in October 2013.  Let me tell you, her designs are not for the feint of heart! You must be a confident and fierce woman to show off your curves in her bodycon designs like these. Read more about Z by Zevarra here  

I have had the link to this video for a while, however, due to the previous template I didn't share it in the proper way until now!   In 2010, six emerging designers had a conversation with Eric Wilson, New York Times Reporter, about developing their business in New York. They talked about the opportunities that were "out there" and shared their individual experiences, as well as their mentors, if any, and other designers who they admired. They gave New York props because people are more willing to work with them being new and emerging designers. What stood out to me from this conversation curvy divas , is the love each of these designers have for their craft, sticking with what they believed and not giving up! It is great that each of them realized their own design aesthetic showcasing their individuality!
