Win Tickets To Curvy Couture Roadshow

By 15 Comments

Curvy-Couture-eventsIt’s that time of year where us plus gals get to frock up for Melbourne’s hottest plus size fashion event, Curvy Couture Roadshow.

Curvy Couture Runway, as part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF) Cultural Program, will showcase the best of what Australia has to offer from 19 Plus Size fashion designers.

This is your chance to experience the unrivalled buzz and excitement usually reserved for the fashion elite of Fashion Weeks around the world.

Unlike last years event, the organisers have spaced out the event giving attendees a whole extra day of fashion. On Sunday prepare yourself for a selection of exclusive pop-up shops and designer shopping from a handful of plus size brands selling their collections at reduced prices. What’s not to love?

Now this event is coordinated 100% by volunteers, those with a passion not only for fashion but to bring the plus size community together to celebrate our bodies as we are.  So if you happen to come across one of the organisers, give them a big hug because they will probably need it.

With every person who comes to support the idea or the models or the designers, you contribute to the promotion of plus size bodies and design being a powerful force in the fashion world.

With every ticket bought, every post you share telling people to come along, you’re saying to the world that plus size fashion is every bit as beautiful, dazzling and wanted in the world as straight size fashion.

You’re supporting your own body shape, or your sisters, mothers and friends body shape, being seen as beautiful and worthy of wearing the clothes you want.

So if you haven’t heard about this event, {umm where have you been hiding?}

On Sunday the 30th of March 2014, as a proud member of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program, the Curvy Couture Roadshow will open its doors and introduce women to a new wealth of fashion and design for women in sizes 14+!

The Roadshow is not only the first plus size fashion event of its size to be a part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival but is also the first to showcase so many independent Australian & NZ plus size designers.

This event is a HUGE HUGE HUGE deal.  Seriously ladies, how long have we been begging for diversity on the Australian runways and to actually be able to wear {fit} items showcased?

Even though the event is tied in with the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival and has the fancy title, this event is run by a bunch of fabulous Aussie women working in the plus size industry who have volunteered their time, skills and a whole lot of patience to put this together for the curvy community.  The only way that events like this can happen is if you attend and spread the word about the event.

So please, from the bottom of my heart.  Tell your sister, mother, friends, postwoman, the lady at the bank, doctor, your neighbours, step cousins brothers dog walker.  Yup, you get the idea.  Tell everyone.  Spread the word and if you can’t attend make sure you follow the fun on social media.

Oh and as a sneaky side note I will be walking for Embody Denim and am on the Curvy Couture bloggers panel.

I would have LOVED to be walking in the main show for other brands however sadly I’m unable to due to the main sponsor providing models from their agency.  {Huge sad face} But one day my time will come to walk a mainstream catwalk in my hometown of Melbourne.
