Listen, it was beautiful walking through the event, and looking at the artwork on the wall gave me “Art Basel” vibes. It was absolutely beautiful. Attendees were able to take in a gallery featuring curvy women and plus models. But what made the event stand out were the paintings of the models! It was absolutely impressive and I was speechless.

Jonquel Art, Tan Bee, and Courtney Noelle gave a fresh perspective to plus-size fashion event. (The food was on point too. I went HAM on the fried chicken. I had to chill because I didn’t want to mess up my clothes. And I can definitely vouch for the rum punch.) I am here for it.
It’s awesome that models of all body types were present. Brands such as Eyani Couture, The Massive Collection, Brandon Kyle, showcased at this amazing event.

I had the privilege to model for this awesome event and was paired with model, Tazah Richardson (I am still on cloud nine about being drawn, I’m literally a work of art. Ha!) It displayed the true talent of what the curvy community has to offer.

The event was certainly worthy to take place during #NYFW. I am still trying to process it all because I had a really good time with like minds and some great company.
