Guess Who's Making Their Designer Debut on September 23rd, 2023!
August 26th, 2023
On September 23rd, 2023, I will be a featured designer for the Curvy Chic Closet fall fashion show! You can get your tickets by clicking here!
Curvy Chic Closet is one of the largest plus size pop up consignment events in North America. Twice a year, these body positive events attract hundreds of women across Portland and the Pacific Northwest to purchase clothes and accessories at incredible discounts and attend the largest plus size fashion show on the west coast. Dozens of local vendors are represented and each event has its own fashion show.
The fashion show has grown tremendously and features women of color, women of different abilities, women of all ages from 14 to 60+ which empowers and inspires women and now men of size (Big & Tall) to believe in their personal beauty and confidence. In fall 2018, Becky Jarvis created the Curvy Closet Foundation a 501c3 (non-profit) to embrace the fashion show and create youth and adult empowerment workshops for people of size.
I hope you will join me and the other amazing local designers here in Portland, as we put on the fashion show of the season! For more info on Curvy Chic Closet, check out their website at https://ccc.foundation.
Now on a personal note, being a designer for this show has made me step outside of my creative bubble. It's a challenge I have never done before but I am excited for the path that this new adventure will take me. In the past couple of months I designed and ordered custom printed fabric from Real Fabric and the results are amazing! If you are a fellow designer who also designs your own digital prints, I highly recommend them! Here's an example of what I purchased below...
