City Chic is a plus size fashion retailer that is bringing the latest trends to the plus size market
Eighteen size 14,16 & size 18 models blitzed their skinnier sisters out of the water with the first ever plus size fashion parade held at Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival on Thursday 20th August 2009.
It was the first time such an event has been part of a major Australian fashion week. The event received an overwhelming response from both the crowd and the media, hailing the fact that it was about time to see gorgeous curvy women on the catwalk.
There was a definite vibe of excitement and fun in the air from the crowd and the models. The models owned the catwalk like they had been doing this for years, and there was of course City Chic’s closing model Laura who gave the crowd more then an eyeful when she tore off her skirt.
Phil Ryan, GM of city chic, says,”It’s about time the fuller figured woman is represented on the catwalk. We’re proud to stage these plus size parades as we’re actually showcasing the average sized Australian woman i.e. size 14!”
“Plus we’ll be showing all the hot items for Spring 09 – available in sizes 14 – 24.
These are exactly the same as the hot items designed for size 8’s and 10’s because, at city chic, we believe every sized woman should be able to wear the latest fashion”.
“Our customers are sassy. They’re bold, they’re proud and they embrace their curves.”
“Our city chic ‘role models’ are Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifa and our very own Ricki-Lee Coulter – all fuller figured women who are happy in their skin!”
