(FYI, posting has slowed down this week due to the snowpocalyspe that has currently shut down much of the northeast US. There is a great Valentine’s Day posting coming tomorrow though!)
As the kickoff to New York Fashion Week gets closer and my anticipation builds, I figured for this week’s ‘Dose of Fierce’ I’d post images of plus models working it on the runway! There are images from Elena Miro, Monif C, City Chic, Qristyl Frazier and more! Also there are a few videos from City Chic and Elena Miro’s runway shows. Enjoy!
Its that time again!
Due to the massive success of the 2009 fatshion recap post, I decided to do monthly recaps where everyone can send in their favorite outfits from the past month and showcase their fashions! Thank you to everyone who participated this month and if you missed out, look out for the details for the February recap!
Onto the fatshions!

The internet is all abuzz over the latest sneak peek from V Magazine’s (Plus) Size issue. The editorial was shot by Karl Lagerfeld, who as we all know is not a fan of ‘curvy’ women in the fashion industry, features burlesque sensation Miss Dirty Martini photographed in the apartment of Coco Chanel. It makes me wonder why he agreed to participate in an issue such as this, with all of the disparaging remarks he’s made about plus size people in the past. Whatever the case is, these photos are absolutely gorgeous and I will be running, not walking, to my local Borders to pick up this issue in exactly 7 days.
Side note: You can totally see her non-retouched body in the side mirror’s reflection in the last photo!
Thank you to everyone who agreed to participate in this post! This is, by far, my favorite post!I had this idea back in December, in the midst of the 82186342 ‘Best of 2009’ lists to have a list of my own. I wanted a chance to showcase all the amazing fatshion that has been floating around the internet this year and hopefully inspire others the way I have been. Honestly, I was nervous that no one would participate and it would just be a post of my outfits, and whatever I could force out of my fellow blogging buddies! So I’m happy to say that there were almost 40 participants and almost 200 outfits submitted! Obviously this post will take a bit to load but its so worth it! Below each participant there is a link to their blog or Flickr so be sure to check them out!
ps. I’m thinking of doing a monthly fatshion recap post, so let me know if any of you are interested in participating!
Without further adieu, onto the fatshion!

A few posts back, we all got our first glance at V Magazine’s ‘One Size Fits All’ editorial featuring Crystal Renn and Jacquelyn Jablonski. The debate over what message the magazine was trying to send was debated for days, its most likely still being debated by some people. Well V Magazine has released a second editorial from the forthcoming issue entitled “Curves Ahead” that is sure to spark up more debate. It features 5 plus models in everything from swimwear to lingerie to denim to a Lady Gaga-esque leotard. The editorial, shot by Solve Sundsbo, is filled with beautiful woman who have hips, thighs, and maybe a little belly pudge and muffin top but they are all working it for the camera. See for yourself.

So what do you all think of the newly released editorial? I know I’m looking forward to January 14th! Can’t wait to see what else they’ll do!
