Following our recent report on body image, it’s great to see that Full Figured Fashion Week has now launched in New York.

A recent study showed that negative body image can cause a lack of self-confidence, depression, physical, emotional and societal problems, so it’s important that more realistic body shapes are celebrated.

Gwen DeVoe, Creator and Executive Producer of FFFWeek says, “It is time for designers, retailers, boutique owners and businesses with an interest in the plus size market to combine their resources and talents and partner with a plus fashion event that will rival other Fashion Weeks and Full Figured Fashion Week™ IS that event.” 

Plus Model Magazine also reports on the latest plus size fashion, curvy trends, beauty, interviews and inspiration.
