YCS Events: Curvy Closets Plus Size Fashion Showcase

By Erika, Resident Fashionista

The fall is upon us and that means one thing . . . fashion, fashion everywhere! Throughout September and October you are going to find YCS covering a number of really amazing fashion events!  One such event is the Curvy Closets Plus Size Fashion Showcase on Saturday October 12, 2013 from 5pm – 10pm.

The Skinny (pun totally intended) on Curvy Closets

What:  “The brainchild of Domonique Revere-Lincoln CEO of Empress Lingerie and Blogger Colleen Stovall of  shortcurvyfierce.com,  this runway show and cocktail reception is becoming a legendary annual fashion craze in the Philadelphia area.  [The] goal is to bring the best of plus size fashion to Philadelphia for [an] astonishing one night affair.  In addition to having a great showcase and event, [they] are dedicated  to donating a portion of the proceeds from our show to 501 (c) 3 non-profit organizations.” (via http://www.curvyclosets.com)

When & Where: Saturday, October 12, 2013 from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM I Crane Arts, 1400 North American Street, Philadelphia, PA 19122

How much: $40 (purchase tickets: http://curvyclosets2013.eventbrite.com/)

Why we’ll be there: There are a number of reasons that this is a “must attend” event this fall.  I am all about any event that celebrates women and their curves! Far too often, unrealistic body images are celebrated in fashion; so I love the fact that Curvy Closets embraces curves – which are a reality for tons of women out there!  I also love the charitable tie-in!  This year a portion of event proceeds will be donated to Hairless 4 Her Awareness, an organization dedicated to promoting awareness for breast cancer through community outreach and engagement.  This a double win in my book because it supports a valuable charity and the charity supports breast cancer awareness, which is near and dear to my heart. Finally, two of my personal faves will be there – the gorgeous Allison McGevna, plus sized model, blogger, and designer will be hosting the festivities and the amazing Aleea Slappy, founder of A Happy Slappy Greeting, Inc.,  will be the Curvy Correspondent on the Pink Carpet!  Bonus: The title sponsor is Plus Model Magazine!

This is really a no brainer – you need to be there!!
