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!

 

 

Miss Universe Regal in Red Evening Gown

Miss Mexico won the heart of the judges last night at the Miss Universe pageant last night in Las Vegas when she swept across the stage in a dramatic one-shoulder evening gown with flowing chiffon train over a sheath skirt. Who wouldn't fall in love with Jimena Navarret, a striking 22-year-old beauty from Mexico City with coal-black hair, deep dark eyes and a soft, warm smile?

Red, a color of romance, ranks in the top five colors shoppers at Sydney's Closet favor. Looks like we have a lot of passionate customers! Are you one of them?

Sydney's Closet Sponsors Beauty Pageant

We just had to say "Yes!" when our dear friend and femme fatale Angela Howell asked Sydney's Closet to sponsor - again - the American Beauties Plus Pageant next month in Georgia. As pageant director, Angela serves as a great role model wearing more beauty crowns than you can count on my hand including the Ms. Georgia Glassic Beauty 2007. The Gov. of Georgia also personally presented Angela with the award for the 2005 Georgia Volunteer of the Year Award for the amazing work she does for charities. This year's American Beauties Plus Pageant takes place February 8 through 10 at the Holiday Inn Select Atlanta Airport South in Atlanta. Contestants will be judged on a five-minute personal intervew, modeling dressy sportswear and formal evening gowns plus their on-stage personality. Check back here for photos of contestants looking very glam on - and off - the runway. Best of luck to everyone competing in the plus size beauty pageant!
