Full Figured Fashion Weeks have become increasingly popular due to a demand in the consumer marketplace for trendy clothing for the modern, curvy woman. According to PLUS Model Magazine, roughly 50 percent of women wear a size 14 or larger; however, most standard clothing outlets cater to smaller sizes. Additionally, outlets that do offer larger sizes have traditionally been conservative in style. Tonia Minor, CEO and Founder of Virginia Full Figured Fashion Week, agrees with this statistic. She planned the event as result of her own experiences and difficulty finding fashionable clothes to flatter her figure in retail stores. "This event is meant to empower a group of people not focused on at all, “she said."I want to show women that we can be curvy, fashionable and healthy." Virginia Full Figured Fashion Week is open to the public. Virginia Full Figured Fashion Week 2014 will feature designers from all over the country.
