Sydney's Closet honorable mention in St Louis Post Dispatch Buzz Around Full Figured Fashion Week

Recognition from the press is always appreciated, and when it's from your very own town, it's quite endearing.  A shout-out of huge thanks to Debra Bass for including Sydney's Closet in her latest article, Can plus-size and high-end designer fashion meet in the middle?  It has been great fun to hear many shoppers at the store talk about reading her article!

In the article Debra does a great job of summarizing the third annual Full Figured Fashion Week, which just wrapped up another successful weekend in New York. Increasingly designers and retail stores are realizing the need for bigger and better fashions for the plus size woman.  

Plus size model Fluvia Lacerda who modeled for Sydney's Closet Spring 2011 Collection, was honored as the Plus Size Commercial Model of the Year. 

Sydney's Closet was proud to be one of 15 designers from the U.S., Canada and Europe to be showcased.  Two of our lovely gowns were included, and were very well received by the FFF crowds!

 

 

Fluvia Lacerda - Sydney's Closet Model & now also Commercial Print Model of the Year!

The Fashion Team at Sydney's Closet is absolutely thrilled for Fluvia Lacerda for being honored as the Full Figure Fashion Week Award for Commercial Print Model of the Year! 

“The fact that I won this award is a major deal and I’m very passionate about my work, mostly because I feel that I represent the body image of many women,” says Lacerda.  “I'm not only a healthy woman, but one who wears a size 18 and am confident about it.”

 

Fluvia can be seen below as our beautiful cover bride of our Spring 2011 Bridal catalogue.  She also modeled numerous other bridal gowns and prom fashions.  She is a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who now resides in New York.  Fluvia brings confidence and style to her profession as a size 18, as well as femininity.  And lets not forget an edge of "hot" from her native Brazil.
