Coverage from the 2013 Plus Night Out in NYC

On this past Friday, September 13th, the curvy girl world shut down the end of New York Fashion Week with a banging runway presentation. Plus Night Out gave attendees an inside glimpse to what plus-size fashion should be all about. Daring silhouettes, high-glam fashion and of course beautiful full-figured models. Hosted by “Curvy Girls” reality star, Joanne Borgella, the event which was held at Hotel Pennsylvania, showcased the latest designs from retailers and boutiques such as Just Raymona of ‘NBC’s 24hr Catwalk’, The Cotrice Collection (from the Lifetime show, Project Accessories), Ashley Stewart, Chocolate Sushi Couture, Serita Bell, Intimate Plus, IGIGI, Curvaceous Boutique and the the event host herself, the Joanne Borgella’s JBNY Collection. Although I wasn’t personally able to attend this year, I’ve heard nothing but great things and thanks to one of my fave photographers, Doug Swaim of Never Forgotten Photography, I just got a hold of some great pics from the show. I’m really digging these pieces below:
