The Importance of Plus Size in Fashion Week

Here's another very interesting article that I came across a couple of weeks back, that I love to share with my fellow fashionistas ... 

Here are some sneak peaks to it....

Why Plus-Size weekend is a big step forward for fashion week

• British Plus-Size Fashion Weekend is second annual show focusing on fashion for size 14 and up
• Event brings together retailers, designers and consumers of fashion
• Hayley Hasselhoff opened the show on Friday, demanding respect for non-skinny models
• London Fashion Week AW14 runs until Tuesday 18th February

British Plus-Size Fashion Weekend (BPSFW) is an event dedicated to clothes made for sizes 14 and up and, although not officially affiliated with London Fashion Week, the timing of the second annual show was of course planned to initiate a discussion about the shape of things to come in the industry.

At the BPSFW shows retailers, designers and customers are brought together to highlight an aspect of British fashion mostly ignored by the British Fashion Council in their biannual fashion weeks. Here Cosmopolitan columnist and presenter Laura Puddy explains why events like this need to become the norm rather than remain niche.
