Plus Size on the Runway at Bryant Park

To:  IMG World

To IMG World. I am the producer of the Miss NYC Plus Runway Model Competition here in NYC, which was created as a venue for full-figured women sizes 12-26, because there isn't an outlet for us, such as Bryant Park. The first show was March 15, 2008, and it was extremely successful. The show sold out, and there were people left standing, which means there is a demand for more!

I am pleading with you, to please acknowledge us during Fashion Week. We are not asking you to give us the whole entire tent, but rather, just a segment of one of the shows. If there was a runway built exclusively for the plus models, and if each designer contributed one designer outfit as a special "project" towards the benefit of size acceptance, I truly do believe that it would be an asset to Fashion Week. The time is now because the average size woman is a size 12/14, and we have spending power. We are tired of being ignored by the fashion industry. Please stop ignoring us, we want to be included. Curves are beautiful. Please give us a chance. As you can see, this petition speaks in volumes. We are striving for change, and size acceptance in the fashion mecca of the world. Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
