CHICAGO, IL, October 2012 – Plus Fashion Week Chicago is partnering with The ThYck Troupe Organization to further its awareness of the plus size fashion industry, placing the full-figured community in a positive light to show the fashion world that “plus is more.”

ThYck Troupe founder, Tressa Thomas, believes the under-representation of the full-figured talent pool has a wealth of knowledge, experience and artistry that deserves better recognition. She has founded this organization in order to make it known to not only the plus size community, but the non-plus-size population as well, that Plus Size Fashion Week is definitely needed in an environment where beauty, talent and commerce are often linked to a size zero.

The mission of The ThYck Troup, founded in 2009, is to train, inspire, energize and showcase full-figured performing artists who are pursuing professional careers in the arts.

“It is not our goal to ‘compete,’ but rather expand diversity within the arts arena,” Thomas said. “This means we collaborate with many like-minded organizations toward a common goal.”

Currently, while Thomas manages the day-to-day activities of The ThYck Troup, she continues to share stages with the likes of Hip-Hop legend COMMON, King of The Hill’s Kathy Najimy, American Idol finalist and Billboard 100 artist Diana DeGarmo, Academy Award winner Mo’Nique, and many others.

Thomas believes that the time has come for Chicago to showcase and honor the talented designers, boutiques and artists that encompass the plus-size community, hopefully providing for a shift in thought and perception of plus size society.

“Plus Size Fashion Week will show the consumer and the media that the full-figured market is talented, lucrative and deserving of respect and recognition. It will be instrumental in bringing under-represented talent to the forefront, providing more options for the full-figured individual to look his or her best.”
