Get ready to dive into a weekend where empowerment meets runway glam, and community ignites confidence! The recent Crusade of Curves event delivered exactly that: a vibrant celebration of plus size fashion, powerful connections, and an all-around atmosphere of pure, uplifting energy. The excitement kicked off on Thursday night with an exclusive model meet-up, setting the tone for the entire event and featuring the remarkable 2025 Cover Model, Krysten “KG” Gutrich.

A Seat at the Table, co-sponsored by ELOQUII, was truly inspiring! Connecting with beautiful, intelligent, strong plus size women living their truth was amazing. The panel, including Mallory B., Sheena Bilonn, Marcy Guevara-Prete, and Poohnana, discussed their experiences and shared their thoughts on what they believe is next for plus fashion.

Friday night got turnt up with Curvy Karaoke, as everyone let their hair down and sang their hearts out!

Saturday’s fashion show absolutely slayed! The women strutted their stuff and showed out, including designers Mallory B., Moonlight Serenade Apparel, The Plus Bus, Studio. Noelle and Cherri Cheeks. The looks were fire, and I wanted to buy almost everything I saw! If that wasn’t enough inspiration, it was also followed by a panel of fashion experts discussing the latest industry trends.

If you missed LA‘s Crusade of Curves, don’t worry because there’s one coming up in the fall in Charlotte, North Carolina, from September 25-28. Be sure to check it out!
