Always For Me Celebrates Plus Size Fashion Collaboration with Timothy Snell in NYC
The leading plus size swimwear e-tailer celebrated its successful partnership with celebrity stylist Timothy Snell recently in New York City.
The event focused on showing attendees the new capsule collection up close via live models and stunning imagery, as well as celebrating its success in bridging the gap between plus size customers and high fashion when it comes to swimwear and athleisure.
Snell was there to meet and greet attendees, which included top plus size fashion bloggers, media and even actress Queen Latifah, whose brief appearance was the big highlight of the evening.
PLUS Model Magazine was in the building, with Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones interviewing Snell LIVE via Always For Me’s Facebook page, prior to the beginning of the event. Stylist and blogger Meaghan O’Connor hosted the event.
Other guests included People Stylewatch Assistant Editor Ashley Kiely, InStyle Magazine Assistant Market Editor Lashauna Williams, Essence Magazine Fashion & Beauty Director Julee Wilson and Hello Beautiful Editorial Director Allison McGevna. Style expert and celebrity stylist Denise Caldwell was also there, wearing a gorgeous sliver metallic dress paired with a dark floral bomber jacket.
Bloggers who attended included Liz Black of PS It’s Fashion, Ty Alexander of Gorgeous in Grey, Beck Delude of Manfattan, Shay Tucker of A Thick Girl’s Closet, The Instagram Wives and others. 
We were also delighted to see celebrity stylist, designer and new author Susan Moses at the event, looking fabulous in dark florals and a chic black fringe shawl.
Live models Christina Mendez and Maxey Greene looked stunning as they modeled several pieces from the capsule collection throughout the event.
All in all, it was a fantastic evening and the Always For Me team should be very proud of this amazing collaboration. We can’t wait to see more!

SwimStar All Stars Partnership With Renowned Plus-size Model and Swimsuits For All Ambassador, Denise Bidot
Inclusive Swimwear Brand Collaborates with Prominent Plus-Size Model Denise Bidot to Empower Aspiring Models…
Swimsuits For All, a pioneer in inclusive swimwear, proudly introduces its inaugural SwimStar All Stars campaign in partnership with renowned plus-size model and Swimsuits For All ambassador, Denise Bidot. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, nearly a decade following Denise’s groundbreaking “Beach Body, Not Sorry” campaign with Swimsuits For All in 2015, which showcased unretouched imagery aimed at promoting unapologetic confidence.
Denise Bidot and Swimsuits For All have jointly unveiled the SwimStar All Stars nationwide search, dedicated to discovering emerging talent in the realm of swimsuit modeling. Encouraging aspiring models to share their personal narratives, the initiative aims to inspire women of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. Following a rigorous selection process, Brittany Wilborn, Camryn Henry, and Sharon Clawson emerged as the chosen winners. In January 2024, these models embarked on a transformative journey to Harbour Island, where they had the unparalleled opportunity to shoot alongside Denise under the expert direction of internationally acclaimed photographer and director, Ben Watts.
Reflecting on the initiative, Denise Bidot remarked, “This was a truly exceptional opportunity to celebrate the diversity of plus-size models and cultivate an atmosphere of support, empowerment, and knowledge sharing. The camaraderie on set was palpable, and I am deeply honored to impart the wisdom and insights I’ve garnered throughout my career. Opportunities like these are scarce for plus-size models in the industry, and it has been a privilege to collaborate with the exceptional team at Swimsuits for All to bring this campaign to fruition.”
The models showcased the latest swimwear offerings from the Swimsuits for All 2024 collection, featuring innovative designs tailored to meet the diverse needs of women, including:
Feel-good Fits: Addressing common concerns such as tummy bulges and fit issues, Swimsuits for All offers a range of fits designed to instill confidence and comfort in every body. Incorporating features like Power Mesh for a smooth, flattering silhouette, and adjustable straps for customizable support, the collection caters to various body types.
Bold Prints & Colors for Summer: The summer swimwear collection boasts vibrant colors and captivating prints, injecting excitement and personality into beach and poolside attire. From vivid neon hues to tropical motifs, the collection encourages self-expression and style experimentation.
Liquid Shine: Introducing Liquid Shine, a striking swim fabrication characterized by a glossy, liquid-like finish, adding an edgy allure to beachwear. Available in multiple silhouettes, including bikinis, Liquid Shine ensures you stand out with confidence.
Bikinis that Suit You Best: The Mix & Match Bikini collection offers a personalized approach to swimwear, allowing individuals to mix and match colors and silhouettes for a bespoke look tailored to their preferences.
Beyond showcasing inclusive swimwear designs, the SwimStar All Stars campaign embodies a celebration of women uplifting one another in an industry often marked by competitiveness. Throughout the week-long shoot, models engaged in one-on-one sessions with Denise, fostering meaningful dialogue about the evolving representation of plus-size bodies in swim and fashion.
Jordan Hauser, Senior Director of E-Commerce & Marketing, expressed, “This campaign transcends conventional notions of body positivity and representation in the swim and fashion industries. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and authenticity in reflecting the diverse experiences of our customer base. We are committed to fostering a movement where women find strength in unity, and we are thrilled to embark on this journey alongside Denise Bidot, one of the industry’s foremost advocates for inclusivity.”
The summer 2024 swimwear collection is now available. For further details about Swimsuits For All and the SwimStar All Stars campaign, please visit www.swimsuitsforall.com.
