.Reading time 1 minute.

curvy7

London Plus Size Fashion Week held their inaugural event over the weekend in London.  The 2-day  events included dressing tutorials, panel discussion, and a runway show for women’s fashions sized 8 (UK size: 12) and up.  The show hosted 13 designers, and a bevy of curvy plus-sized models full of confidence. The plus sized fashion industry credits Kim Kardashion, Beyonce, and other curvy stars with helping boost interest in plus-sized high fashion.

Cupcakes were served backstage and models were greeted on the catwalk with full applause- a world away from the official London Fashion Week shows around the corner.  After reading a few review of the inaugural event, it looks like London Plus Size Fashion Week has carved out its own place during London Fashion Week.  Get more at http://www.lpsfw.com.

She plans to run the plus-sized event again next year, hoping to emulate the success of New York’s Full-Figured Fashion Week which is in its fifth year.

We should all embrace our shapes and sizes. What do you think about this fashion show ? Let me know in a comment below.
