New York Fashion Week Plus (NYFW+) Breaks Down The Barriers!

I had the great pleasure of assisting the talented Brandee Joyner and the ManikMag team as they made history with New York Fashion Week Plus (NYFW+)! And let me tell you that history was definitely made with a week of astonishing fashion presentations from eight phenomenal designers. The collections from Oseas Villatoro, Danielle Ferguson, Harvest Powell, Eula Taylaor, Ava Jones, Marco Hall, Phoenyx Reign, and Tatiana Castro were full of bold color, prints, and textiles! Giving life to plus-size fashion!

NYFW+  broke barriers and created a platform for plus-size women and designers. All during one of the most iconic weeks in fashion, New York Fashion Week! Breaking down the door, setting the standards high and making it very clear that plus-size fashion/women are worthy of taking part in such an iconic week in fashion. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see what NYFW+ has in store for 2016!
