Day 2 of V Magazine’s Plus Sized Issue

Marie Denee is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Curvy Fashionista, the leading plus size digital media publication she launched in 2008, making her one of the longest-standing voices in plus size fashion media. Known industry-wide as the "walking wiki of plus size fashion," Marie has spent over 17 years covering plus size style, culture, wellness, and the business of fashion, building a community of 59,000+ readers and reshaping how plus size fashion is covered, discussed, and celebrated.

A digital media strategist, content pioneer, and unapologetic advocate for plus size representation, Marie launched TCF in direct response to the fashion industry's systemic failures: poor merchandising, back-of-store placement, and a chronic lack of size-inclusive expertise. As Editor-in-Chief, she leads TCF's editorial coverage across style, wellness, entertainment, lifestyle, and the business of plus size fashion, bringing sharp editorial perspective, deep industry relationships, and nearly two decades of on-the-ground expertise to every story.
