The Celebrate My Size Expo was an official stop on The Ashley Stewart #LOVEYOURCURVES Tour in conjunction with Full Figured Fashion Week, #FFFWEEK.
FFFWEEK and Plus Model Magazine hosted a "Celebrate My Size" Blogger Experience that allowed us to 'sip and speak' with some of the many Full Figured Fashion Week Sponsors and with this being Wordless Wednesday across the interwebs I couldn't think of a better day to share my photo highlights!
This Latina Full Figured Fashionista got to meet:
Above: I thought the display from Ask Fashion was cute, 'Don't Guess Ask'
Above: Ask Fashion Designer, Amanda Koker proudly displays her designs!
Above: Designer of Cameo de Boré Clutches modeling her design! We have invited them to join our Featured Handbag in the Spotlight Feature, so stay tuned butterflies hopefully we will have something fun to present you with soon!
Above: Fruit of the Loom’s Fit for Me Collection put the emphasis on comfort and fit for their plus size underwear
Above: I am HUGE fan of Fox's television series Empire, so this stopped me in my tracks! I HAD to know more!
Above: I stopped to watch Artist Lena Jackson in action. Nothing better than a photo of an artist at work!
Above: I just had to stop and get a "GLAM-A-CATURE' by Lena J! She NAILED it. I love mine and made mine the profile picture for my facebook page!
Above: TIH - True Indian Hair was on display at the Celebrate My Size Expo!
Above: XPANDASOX caught my eye as they are socks that accommodate those of us with Wide Calves. Just like you shop for boots with Wide Calves, why not make sure your socks are too?
MY TAKE:
My apologies to designer Cherie Christmas and to Ashley Stewart for some reason my photos of their collections on display came out super grainy which is odd because I did bring my pro-cam and was pretty proud of most of my shots!
The Town Hall discussed the #DropThePlus/#KeepThePlus campaign debate, delving into maintaining the mainstream exposure for the need for plus-size fashion and the future of plus-size representation in consumer marketing. No matter where you stand on the issue, it's an important debate!
I greatly enjoyed being exposed to such great brands, and being curvy girl myself, finding brands that cater directly to my fashion needs is super helpful!
Are any of the brands above new to you? Which would you most like to try for yourself?
