We are sexy, we are driven, we are fabulous and finally...we have representation in New York Fashion Week!!!
Whether admitted or not, we've all run into that stunningly beautiful plus-size woman (in the store, on the train, at the club, etc.) who make us think to ourselves, "Wow she should/could be a model!" According to Daily Mail, dozens of outfits from OneStopPlus.com will grace the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) runways Wednesday at Lincoln Center NY. The store carries US sizes 12W-44W. This will be the first time a plus-size runway has ever been included in NYFW. With the average size of American women said to be size 14 US (NY Times Article March 1, 2009), the inclusion of plus-size women in New York Fashion Week is well past due and highly welcomed!
"This show is a collaborative effort to provide the extraordinary community of plus-size American women with the uncompromising style that they have always deserved but never received. It's about inclusion and fashion democracy: fashion risk-taking and empowerment. No more seeing what you can't have; this is a fashion party that invites and inspires everyone."-Zahir Babvani, VP of Design of OneStopPlus.com. (Marketwatch.com)
Super models walking the runways in next week's shows include Lizzie Miller and Toccara Jones. Let's hope this show is a step in the new direction of celebrating beauty and style for what it is and removing size from the equation.<

@Courtini & Anonymous: Unfortunately, some of the models who seem thin are still "large" according to industry standards. I do feel things are beginning to slowly change and beauty is being represented for what it is more often these days!
