PLUS Model Magazine & Model Fluvia Lacerda Featured in Puerto Rican Newspaper El Vocero
PLUS Model Magazine has been working with Suzanne Ujaque from Su-Style.com to offer plus size models in Puerto Rico more modeling opportunities as well as modeling workshops.
Our Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones just returned from the island where she shot four models in pieces from plus size fashion retailer Always For Me. The retailer is known for offering swimwear, activewear and lingerie in up to size 26W.
During the visit, plus size model Fluvia Lacerda, who was also in attendance, was interviewed by the local newspaper El Vocero de Puerto Rico. Within the article, that is available online and in print, PLUS Model Magazine is mentioned for their work with local plus-size models to prepare them for a successful modeling career.
You can read that article and interview with Fluvia online here (please note, the article is in Spanish). Fluvia is wearing swimwear from Marini Brasil. Photography by Maddy for Lucaspictures.net.
Please note that the other four models were NOT shot in Marini Brasil (only Fluvia). As we mentioned above, the four models shot by Maddy were wearing Always For Me.
Here’s some other images from PMM’s visits to the island, continuing our work with local plus size models:
We also have exciting news for aspiring plus-size models in Puerto Rico and beyond. Our first plus-size modeling 101 workshop during Caribbean Curves Weekend was so popular, that we’re doing another one!
This time, the workshop has been extended to 3 days and will take place March 27 – 29, 2015. Returning for the workshop are PMM Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones and plus-size model Christina Mendez. For more information, please see the below flyer and check back on the blog this Friday for all the information.
Special thanks to Suzanne Ujaque from Su-Style.com for all she does for the plus-size community and plus-size modeling industry. To learn more about Suzanne, who was one of our 2014 Women of the Year, click here.
