Latasha Ngwube Makes History with #AboutThatCurvyLifeCollective at the Lagos Fashion & Design Week Powdered by #Intel

'Latasha has made us proud'. Those were my immediate thought when I saw beautiful plus size women and designers walk the runway at the Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2016. It will be in history that one of the first major plus size movement in Nigeria was championed by Latasha Ngwube of About That Curvy Life.

The About That Curvy Life Collective, powered by INTEL at the Lagos Fashion and Design Week featured Five plus-size designers. Contrary to popular opinion, Plus-size is Beautiful.This was made obvious when these plus size beautiful ladies hit the runway. 

Speaking to CNN Africa, Latasha recalls,

"I snuck into the crowd and was watching the girls go. I was looking at people standing, screaming, clapping and I started to cry. I was shaking and crying in the crowd, I couldn't contain it.
"I wish I could bottle that feeling and just sip on it every day of my life."

This validates the opinion of  Achonu, a regal 32-year-old who chatted with Fashion Network saying that in Nigeria, bigger can be better.

"Our culture appreciates plus-size more than other parts of the world," she said. "No woman should be subjected to looking a certain way." 

Nigeria Plus size fashion Industry has been given cold shoulders over the years with many designers catering to only regular size women. This awesome event is a beginning to bridging that gap between regular size designers and plus size designers in Nigeria.

The Plus-size Fashion Designers at the event took to Instagram to express their excitement,

Five {5} Most Memorable NIGERIAN Plus Size Events In 2014

Like Tyra Banks said, "Girls of all kinds can be beautiful; from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to skinned; the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between..." Despite that many people still put beauty into confining, narrow box of Size 0-6. Its is time we all agree with Tyra who disagreed with the term "plus size" and chose to rather call it “I Call It Fiercely Real”.
However, 2014 recorded tremendous growth in the plus size industry in Nigeria. It is interesting how Nigerians are beginning to understand and appreciate size diversity and the fiercely real ladies.

EMBRACE YOUR CURVES AS A PLUS SIZE WOMAN

Written by JENNIFER OGOO OKOLO

In Nigeria, the contemporary changes in the fashion and beauty industry has indeed neglected the plus size woman. The trending reception that values the thin and slim figured woman has undoubtedly put the plus size woman at a derelict corner. Now the conventional wisdom is that a healthy body is usually one that is within a moderate weight. While not entirely disapproving this contention, it is important to note that there are women who continue to live as a plus size woman and enjoy every aspect of it.
When you look around, plus size women tend to hide from publicity. They rather prefer to spend their days indoors and are seen only on rare occasions. But this should
