Just My Size Sparks Dialogue With 2010 Style Symposium

For years Just My Size has been known for designing comfortable undergarments and sportswear for plus size women.  They’ve worked hard over the years to add plus size clothing to their list of expertise and was a featured designer during 2010′s Full Figured Fashion Week in New York City.

As they continue to make their mark on the plus size fashion industry, Just My Size will host their 1st annual Style Symposium in NYC this weekend.  This event which takes place from October 19-20 will allow bloggers, editors and the Just My Size executives to share ideas and help generate more thought-provoking dialogue.

Topics discussed during the 2-day event will include:

• The Impact of Plus-Size Fashion in the Fashion World
• Plus-Size Women Designing Clothes for Plus-Size Women
• Fashion Forward and Fashion Affordable
• The Role of Social Media in Plus-Size Fashion

This event will bring together some of the most knowledgeable women (and man) in the plus community to share their thoughts in an open forum.  This all expenses paid trip will conclude with the JMS Winter/Spring runway show, which will also be attended by New York’s top fashion editors.
