First Time Ever: Plus Size apparel hits the red carpet Fashion Show

Fashion Week is all the buzz here on Fashion Avenue in NYC, but yesterday a different kind of buzz emerged in the plus size industry. For the first time in over 57 years of fashion shows, our sister brand- OneStopPlus.com produced the first ever, Plus-Size Fashion Show at the Lincoln Center! A ground-breaking event felt all over the media as it marked the beginning of plus size women being slowly, but surely recognized by the fashion moguls as true models of our time. All the work and effort that went into planning such a monumental event surely paid off as the rewards are just beginning to be reaped.




Our talented designers, Zahir Babvani and Galina Monaco did an amazing job with the collection that included a resounding theme of soft, dreamy looks with a touch of shine.


A look at the collection: Artisian Drape, Aquatic Lace and Guilded Shine were among them.


It also included a celebrity guest to the likes of “High School Musical’s” KayCee Stroh, “Hairspray’s” Nikki Blonsky, plus size icon Emme and Academy Award nominee for “Precious” Gabourey Sidibe who stated “…to be part of this historical moment is an honor.”


To find out more about the first plus-size fashion show, be sure to fan us on Facebook and see pictures, videos, interviews and so much more. All of us at Roaman’s are very excited about this new chapter in plus size clothing and look forward to many more advances!
