She and her husband Ruben Toledo met and greeted customers, fans, bloggers, media and others at the store locations where Isabel was available for interviews and photos.
PLUS Model Magazine was there at the New York City event on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 with Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones, Blog Editor Marcy Cruz and Executive Fashion Director Reah Norman in attendance.
Isabel spoke candidly with the PMM staff about how excited she is to be designing for plus size women because she believes that fashion should be available to all women. Stay tuned for our October 2014 issue, launching on October 1, which will feature more on this awesome event and our conversation with Isabel Toledo.
The event, which was captured on social media by using the hashtag #LBtoledo, was attended by many of the plus size fashion industry from bloggers and media to stylists and makeup artists. We spied bloggers Kellie Brown of And I Got Dressed, Sheri of Shapely Chic Sheri, Sandra Negron of La Pecosa Preciosa, Kelly Augustine of KellyAugustine.com, Jessica Torres of Tiny Red Shoes, Shainna Tucker of A Thick Girl’s Closet, Darlene Lebron Lopez of Suits, Heels & Curves, Sarah of CurvilyFashion.com and others having a great time and enjoying the fun atmosphere.
Chante of the blog Everything Curvy and Chic hosted the event along with independent fashion and style website Refinery 29. All in all, what a successful event! Kudos to Lane Bryant, Isabel and Ruben Toledo and Refinery29 for making this event possible where customers and others were able to get face time with Isabel and Ruben and see the collection up close.
Lane Bryant also gave attendees 20% coupons, which could be used immediately to score their own pieces from the beautiful collection. Here’s some images from the event…check out our Facebook page and stay tuned for even more images: https://www.facebook.com/plusmodelmag.
