Full figured fashion week!
LINK!
In New York the Full Figured Fashion Week is happening right now, it is dedicated to the best plus-size fashion industry. Innovative silhouettes that flatter curvy
The second annual Full Figured Fashion Week is happening right now in New York, a showcase where some of the best and brightest in the plus-size fashion industry come to share their collections, represent their boutiques, and show promise for the future of full-figured fashion. FFFWeek, sponsored by retailer Sonsi, is showcasing nineteen collections from individual designers and brands, including Yuliya Raquel of Igigi, Angel Alternative (by Angel Myers), and Drapery (by Jaspher Knowles).
The entirety of the collections have shown the extent of the diversity in this segment of the fashion industry, showing feminine sportwear by Pure Energy, and sophisticated, tailored pieces by LaDan's closet.
Among the more promising of the new and emerging designers was Chan.nel Kamara, designed by San Francisco native LaToya Skinner, which possessed a certain edge not typically seen in plus-sized fashion. Her ability to create innovative silhouettes that flatter curvy figures is more than welcome in a market thirsty for this kind of evolution towards more fashion forward pieces.

Gorgeous editorial spread for Glass Mag
Some fab photographs here. Using models from a new model agency called 12+ uk model managment.
The latest article on the size battles
ARTICLE HERE
This morning i was sent a link to this article published in The Indipendant today. The article is entitled "
Designer says plus-size models are 'a joke'.
In my opinion these designers are missing a trick by alienating a whole chunk of the population. Women are not inspired by seeing clothing on wafer thin models, and would most probably be deterred from purchasing anything designed by someone who refuses to showcase them on anyone bigger than a size 10.
Please read the article and let me know your views.
Real Women
These are some of my final images from my ongoing project on real size women.
I believe that conventional fashion advertising featuring women places too
much emphasis on unrealistic size-zero models and it is for this reason
I have used only plus-size models of size 10 or more.
With inspiration from some of the greats such as Helmut Newton and John French
plus my love for vintage glamour, I have produced a set of images
that portray femininity, sensuality and power.
To enable me to capture this in my photographs, I used hand-made corsetry
to accentuate the models’ feminine curves, and to make them look and feel strong
These images are available to purchase, printed on fine art Hahnemuhle paper and framed. Please contact me if you would like to own one info@sarahjaynehinton.co.uk
