"OneStopPlus, the online fashion retailer for women size 12 to 44, held its first-ever New York fashion week show yesterday, and two exciting things happened: 1) We got to watch one of our favorite real-size models, Lizzi Miller (aka the woman on page 194) walk the runway and 2) We met Precious star Gabourey Sidibe! First, about the clothes: Plus size customers looking for something a bit trendier than traditional plus offerings will definitely be thrilled with what&amp;#x27;s in store for spring&amp;amp;#8212;everything from modified harem pants to cargo shorts made an appearance. Most of the looks were either fairly-form fitting and/or short, proving once and for all that plus size ladies needn&amp;#x27;t hide behind shapeless, oversize garments. Lizzi Miller and her fellow models all looked great. It&amp;#x27;s worth noting that although OneStopPlus carries up to size 44, the women in the show only ranged from 12-16&amp;amp;#8212;more real size than anything. (Fact: about 62% of American women wear size 12 or higher.) Famous faces attending the show included plus size modeling icon Emme, High School Musical&amp;#x27;s KayCee Stroh, Hairspray&amp;#x27;s Nikki Blonsky and of course, Gabourey Sidibe from Precious. After the show, we asked Gabourey&amp;amp;#8212;who was sipping from a champagne flute in the front row&amp;amp;#8212;a few hot topic questions. STF: Why did you decide to attend the plus size fashion show? Gabourey Sidibe: I&amp;#x27;m a woman. I love clothes. I&amp;#x27;m always shopping and looking for clothes that are an accurate representation of me. STF: The models in this show weren&amp;#x27;t really &amp;quot;big.&amp;quot; Did you think they were a good representation of the plus size figure? GS: Yes, I thought they were beautiful. STF: Did you have a favorite look today? GS: The purple dresses. Purple is my favorite color. STF: Well, there was a lot of purple in the collection so you must be happy about that. GS: Very! Thank you, Gabourey, for sharing your thoughts with Glamour&amp;amp;#8212;hope to see you in one of the fun purple outfits that lit up the runway!
