by EventPR

On Sunday, September 17th 2017, Aboutthatcurvylife.com held the first edition of its “Fashion Day Out” event, in collaboration with Ma’ Bello Clothier at Grey Velvet Stores, Lekki.

ATCL held the outing for a select few of its followers to connect curvy fashion lovers with plus size clothing designers; Ma’Bello Clothiers being the first in what is to be a monthly series. Osa Aisien of Ma’Bello Clothiers held a short question and answer session with the women before gifting each of the ladies a dress from the new Obobo collection.

The afternoon was filled with lots of laughs, nibbles, photo ops and women swapping tales of their experiences with fashion as curvy women.

The atmosphere was one of solidarity, sisterhood and empowerment as each curvy woman walked out with her newly acquired outfit to the cheers of the other women and above all gratitude to Aboutthatcurvylife for the fantastic opportunity to meet and mingle with others.

Founded by Latasha Ngwube, ATCL is Africa’s premier online destination and subculture conceived with the aim of inspiring and supporting the plus size community.

Check out photos from the event, and stay tuned for the next one!
