Plus Size Marketing Group Launches Extensive Plus Size Survey

June 17th, New York - For the third consecutive year, plus size women are taking New York by storm. The highly anticipated Full Figured Fashion Week™ (www.fffweek.com) will welcome thousands of beautiful plus size women to the "Big Apple" for three days of shopping, empowerment and FASHION!

The Plus Size Marketing Group™ comprised of Jennene Biggins, Founder and CEO of the Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc. ® and 14 year plus size advocate and Tonye' Fubara, an entrepreneur with over 15 years experience in Marketing and Research, will announce their Plus Size Marketing Survey this weekend during the 3-Day event.

Over the past 6-7 months Ms Biggins and Ms Fubara have worked to develop an extensive survey geared towards the plus size market, which will not only encompass fashion but the lifestyle of today's plus size woman. Today's plus size woman has a significant amount of discretionary income, however, product and service providers do not recognize the buying power of the plus size woman . The only way to make an impact with these companies are to hit them "where the money is".

We urge all plus size women to participate in our extensive survey. PLEASE help us make a difference. You can access the Plus Size Marketing Survey Here .

Jennene Biggins and a host of other plus size industry professionals are part of Full Figured Fashion Week's™ The Pulse of the Plus Size Community panel on Friday, July 17th @ 3pm at the Affinia Hotel.

The Plus Size Marketing Group™ looks forward to working with plus size industry professionals (bloggers, retailers, magazines, models, etc.) on this awesome project.

Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ Brings the Best of Plus-Size Fashion to Los Angeles Fashionistas--October 28th-30th, 2010

New York, NY. Gwen DeVoe worked for decades to get full-figured fashion, models and designers respect and attention in the fashion industry. This past June she landed major international coverage for the second annual Full Figured Fashion Week™ --from a front-page piece in The New York Times to dispatches on dozens of fatshion blogs and magazines that cover fashion trends for women size 14 and up. Today, DeVoe announced the fall launch of Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ Los Angeles from October 28th-30th, 2010.

While Full Figured Fashion Week™ has been a NYC-based production, shoppers, designers and models in the plus-industry have been asking for an L.A. show for years. "Most people don’t think 'fatshionista' when they think of Los Angeles-- they think of women dieting themselves into size zero dresses," says DeVoe, "but there is a growing and vocal plus-size community in L.A.. When we sought to expand Full Figured Fashion Week™ into other markets, L.A. was my first choice."

Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ L.A. will bring a fashion-filled three-day weekend brimming with information, inspiration and great clothes to for aspiring plus-size models, designers and consumers. And exciting line-up of panels and events will be capped off with a full-scale fashion showcase hosted by Full Figured Fashion Week™ creator and executive director, Gwen DeVoe. The search for designers and models has already started--but there are still opportunities for plus-size designers and models. Says DeVoe: "We're looking for new faces and new looks that will really wow the crowd. This a celebration of curvy bodies, so we're looking for designers who know how to show them off best. We want designs that will accentuate, not hide, our plus-sized selves."
