Meet the Team
At The Curvy Fashionista, we like to say it takes a fly village to keep you up to date on all things plus size fashion, lifestyle, and beyond! Our small but mighty team is made up of passionate writers, trend-spotting editors, a savvy social squad, and a newsletter guru—each bringing their unique flair to the TCF universe.
Whether we’re breaking the latest fashion news, serving up expert style tips, or sharing the latest on industry moves, we do it with wit, confidence, and a whole lot of love for this community. So, while our CEO may be the glue holding it all together, trust that the entire TCF crew is here to make sure you’re always in the know—and looking fierce while you are!
