ABOUT
THE EVENT
Opening in Lagos for the first time is the
only fashion runway show ever dedicated to Plus Size Models and Apparels. In
the light of realities, this will be the first TRULY AFRICAN fashion runway
show! African culture celebrates the healthy looking plus sized woman. She is
the everyday woman in the African Office, Shop, Market Place and on the
streets.
Western Fashion Trends has tended to
alienate the plus sized African woman, almost to the point of stigmatising her
body size. This fact has tended to question the integrity of conventional
African Fashion runways with ‘zero’ sized models strutting the runways being
viewed by audiences, 85% of whom are plus sized! This tended to create a
divide, between the audience and the fashion show.
To Bridge this gap and put the real needs of
the average African woman on the runway, the Plussize Fashion Week is finally
born, thus bringing an African Fashion Feel to an African Audience.
The Plussize Fashion Week is poised to
celebrate the African Woman’s Body, while not excluding zero sized and other
sized models and apparels as well. It also not a female exclusive fashion show,
male apparels and models are also to be showcased.
