For the first time ever, New York Fashion Week debuted a plus-size-only runway show hosted by OneStopPlus.com.
It was the first ever plus-size fashion show to take place at a Major Fashion week. OneStopPlus.com is a company that sells plus-size clothing for full-figured women sizes 12 to 44, as well as lingerie, accessories and wide-width shoes.
Come Spring 2011, there will be many options to choose from, as the Belle Epoque collection for 2011 captured the beauty and elegance acknowledged as “The Golden Age” by Zahir Babvani and Galina Monaco, VP of Design and Designer, respectively.
Draped dresses, some asymmetrical, emerged from the runway, most in hues of peach, lemon and blue. The collection than transitioned into sheath dresses, trousers, cardigans and blouses but this time with hints of lace.
Fashion icon and one of the top earning plus-size models, Emme, who is also the brand ambassador for OneStop Plus.com, told CBSnews.com,
“I think there is going to be a ripple effect from this fashion show to all of the fashion community. 62 million women are a size 12 and above, why hasn’t this been done before?'”
