NYFW: PLUS+

For the first time in history, New York Fashion Week has expanded to include plus size models from around the country. The body positivity movement did, in fact, make it all the way to Fashion Week. Co-Founders Selena Weekes and Brandee Joyner wanted to make this groundbreaking event a showstopper, and did so by including a strong group of models that represented plus size women with a bang.

The designers represented in NYFW+ are Oseas Villatoro, Tatiana Castro, Marco Hall, Phoenyx Reign, Ava Jones, Danielle Ferguson, Harvest Powell, and Eula Taylor.

Legendary plus model Ashley Graham owned the runway in her new lingerie collection with Addition Elle. The motto was “I am size sexy,” empowering plus women to view themselves as such.

This event made Fashion Week history and has already shone a positive light on high fashion for plus size women. It can only continue to improve from here! #iamsizesexy
