Ashley Stewart and PLUS Model Magazine Welcome Spring In Diva Style

Editor-in-Chief, Madeline Figueroa-Jones — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:41:16 +0000

Retail giant Ashley Stewart and the number one plus fashion magazine, PLUS Model Magazine, are passionate about the plus size woman, and the fashion options this Spring Season has to offer. After a very successful collaboration last month with Coast to Coast Curves Model Search, they are back to celebrate plus size women by offering great color, style and inspiring images.

The April 2011 Spring Issue of PLUS Model Magazine features plus size model Wyinnetka in a stunning cover, a 5 page editorial spread featuring PMM favorite Mia Amber Davis, Marquita Pring, and a $100 gift card giveaway from Ashley Stewart.

In an interview with Jan Harvey, Strategic Marketing and Social Media for the brand, Ms Harvey offers insight on what plus size women could expect “We are thrilled to show off our dress selection for the season which covers all the latest trends including maxi dresses, wraps dresses and tube dresses. Our entire assortment including jewelry, handbags and intimates will be filled with bright colors and dramatic attention to detail. They are really show-stoppers!”

Ashley Stewart has been a long time favorite inside the plus size community and was brought to the forefront when they became the only major brand to feature a size 18 plus size model in their campaigns, Mia Amber Davis.

In her editor’s letter, Madeline Jones says, “I’m excited about partnering with Ashley Stewart during such a momentous time in their business. As a customer, and plus size industry professional, it’s important for me to see, and feel, the connection and the intentions of brands towards their customer. Ashley Stewart is reaching out and listening to what this woman is saying and it shows.”

Ashley Stewart will be celebrating a new look for their Ashley Stewart stores in mid- April at their Brooklyn flagship store on Fulton Street in New York City.
