Run to the Sun is an Anchorage business for woman’s clothing and also tanning. They had a fashion show at the Woman’s Show in Anchorage, Alaska in April 2010. The show is pretty good but the lighting at the Sullivan Arena is absolutely horrible – like something out of a bomb shelter. Hopefully these photos aren’t too bad. I met several of the models and shot with them at separate photo shoots – but it will take some time to post those photos.

The explosion of the plus size fashion industry and plus size modeling industry has the demand for photogenic, size 12-16 models exceeding the current supply. The following guide contains a few general tips to optimize your success in pursuing a career in the industry.
1. Professional photographs certainly aren’t required by any agency representing plus size models and shots taken by a friend or family member will suffice till a portfolio is created. Make sure your shots are current, and clean meaning with minimum makeup and natural hair. Include at least one full body shot and make your pictures tasteful. Save the boudoir shots for your honey!
2. A reputable agency will not require money upfront to represent you, however anyone with modeling aspirations must expect to incur some expenses. The creation of a portfolio will include photographer’s fee’s, possibly stylist, hair and makeup artist fee’s. Make sure you’re able to shoulder minimal expenses prior to electing to pursue a plus modeling career.
3. Please accept industry standards. 5’8″ is the general height requirement in plus and standard size modeling. This standard simply does not vary in high fashion genre’s! A few clients, such a Torrid elect to employ girls below 5’8″, however they truly are the minority. Clothing is made and preferred to hit the body at a certain point regardless of size. Designer’s create samples for 5’8″ plus women, thus there’s no demand for shorter models.
4. The most effective model is healthy and fit, regardless of size. Crash dieting, yo-yo size changes and poor diet wreck havoc on your health/appearance and frustrate your clients. Consistency is essential in the fashion industry. Maintain your size, places an emphasis on fitness, muscle tone and health. You’re proud to be fit, healthy and well-fed, show off that glow you were hired for!
5. Be professional. Modeling is a professional industry, not a lifestyle or status club. You’re hired as a commodity and a professional one at that. Arrive to shoots on time, keep phone calls and text messages to a minimum and be willing to work hard. Standing on your feet in often uncomfortable poses for hours on end is hard work! Be prepared to be challenged when entering the industry; happy clients equal a successful model.
6. Avoid self-criticism. A client or design house has a specific look in mind to represent their company prior to your attending a go see. Recognize that often, you may not fit that product, or look. Not getting a gig is not a reflection of a personal defect, it simply means you’re best suited elsewhere. Be true to yourself, love yourself and your clients will love you!
7. Focus on fitness. Industry standards for a plus size model range from size 8 to 16, with agencies specializing in plus modeling seeking 12 to 16′s. Regardless of size, you will need to be fit and toned. Focus on cardiovascular fitness and core training to improve posture and body fat/muscle ratio. Pilates is a wonderful exercise for elongating muscles and promoting tone. Excessive weight-training can be counter productive, focus on flexibility, cardio and body-weight resistance training. When in doubt, consider employing the services of a personal trainer making sure to express losing excessive weight is not your goal.
With the explosion of the industry, the role of the plus size model is ever increasing and shifting. Remember to speak up. With the majority of American women wearing a size 12 or larger, expressing the need for diversity may be just the key to landing spots previously unseen in local runway shows and magazine editorials. Maintain a positive and enthusiastic attitude and success in plus size modeling will be yours!

Some women wear colorful clothes matching with their hippie look with the hippie band. Some men even wear flare pants with their colorful long-sleeved polo with a huge collar.

I was recently invited by my buddy, fashion photographer extraordinaire Jeremiah Wilson, to visit one his fashion shoots. He was shooting a campaign for Steve Madden shoes at Poly Prep in Brooklyn. I went down to pay Jeremiah a visit, and decided to shoot some photos of my own, and interview Jeremiah for one the publications I write for. I thought a ‘behind the scenes’ of a fashion shoot piece would be interesting to work on, and it turned out that way. I had a blast doing both. Some of mt photos came out great, but I was cheating. Jeremiah was the one who set up models, shots nd lighting. I just stood back and pressed the shutter. August 5, 2010, Bay Rideg Brooklyn.

Street fashion is not an uncommon term for any of us. It is also known as “LA Street Style”. The term is mainly associated with youth culture and it mainly comes from urban centers. It refers to fashion that has emerged from the grassroots and not from the studios or catwalks. But mainstream fashion is often influenced by street fashion. In fact you will find many designers who have been inspired by street style. A number of styles come under this genre such as Teddy Boys, Hippies, Skinheads and so on. But the most popular of all is Hip Hop fashion.
Hip-Hop features a distinctive style. The early history of this fashion trend lies with the African-American, Latino and the Caribbean-American youth who were based on The 5 Boroughs, a famous city of New York. Though originated from The 5 Boroughs, Hip Hop style was influenced by various other places including East Bay, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago and The Dirty South.
The influence of all these places contributed to the overall style of Hip-Hop. The mingling of different elements make Hip-Hop what it is today and the style obviously reflect the expressions of hip-hop culture. If you notice carefully you will see that Hip-Hop never maintains a stereotypical style rather it has changed with the passing time. It has become a part of the popular culture across the world.
It is not only the young generation who has made its own new styles but the big brands also took on the Hip-Hop fashion which contributed to its ongoing popularity. Leather bomber jackets, sneakers, Dr. Marten’s boots etc dominated the fashion world of 1980s.
Hip-Hop fashion dresses were different for men and women. While blousy pants, baggy jeans, heavy work boots and sunglasses were the favorite of the men, women preferred tight jeans and light make up. But many of the women adapted the men’s style adding a feminine touch to it.
The latest fashion trends were not only witnessed in clothing but also in accessories. Large eyeglasses, multiple rings, heavy jewelry, oversized name tags signified the Hip-Hop culture. In the 80s African culture was reflected in the new hairstyle as well as jewelry. Dreadlocks and African chains became very popular.
Towards the beginning of the 90s neon clothing, rolled in, baseball caps etc started dominating the fashion market. Red, black and green were the color for the Hip-Hop fashion. Wearing clothing backwards became one of the hottest fashion trends.
Just as clothing fashion shoes were made popular by many sports brands. Both clothing and shoes were worn by famous models which gave the new trends an additional dimension. Black leather jackets with gold or silver chains were the favorite of the youth.
Late 90s witnessed a significant shift in the Hip-Hop fashion. Fashion style of the gangsters and street thugs were incorporated in the mainstream fashion trends. Oversized still dominated the fashion scene, whether cargo or denim. Wearing pants without belts was a common practice.
Hip-Hop became most popular of all street trends with its unique dressing style, exclusive accessories and shoes and stunning hair style.

In the sizzling climate women wears sandals year around. Having professional pedicure is impossible for some of us during this tightening belt season, having toenails with chipped nail polish are just not attractive.
There are some examples of fashion mistakes that are totally not acceptable, but were once in fashion style.
There are few mistakes which you should avoid:
Cracked heels and chipped toenails
In the sizzling climate women wears sandals year around. Having professional pedicure is impossible for some of us during this tightening belt season, having toenails with chipped nail polish are just not attractive. And worse will be the cracked heels. It takes very little money, effort or time to fill a bucket with warm water and salts, grab a nail file and pumice stone, and finish it at home pedicure with a foot massage using Vaseline or lotion, apply 2 coats of clear nail polish, and you’re done in about a half hour.
Sunglasses
How the ‘trend’ started it’s unsure, but how is it possible to wear colored shades at night and be able to see anything?
Wrong accessories
If the outfit is cheap or plain even that can make you stand out in a crowd with the right fashion accessories. Necklaces which are of the right length are stylish, and even more so when paired with matching bangles. For example, the shorter the chain, the larger your neck will appear. If you wear so many bangles that your arm is no longer visible, remove a few; wearing some bangles on one hand is enough. Wearing so many of a good thing can quickly turn your outfit into a fashion ‘no- no’. If you’re wearing huge earrings, what I like to call door knockers, skip the necklace. Handbags and purses are also pieces to completing an outfit, but for evening wear, use a shiny, stylish purse rather than a slouchy, oversized bag. Save that huge bag for schoolbooks, your laptop, or when you travel.
Makeup
During carnival, excess applying makeup is certainly an exception, but throughout the rest of the year, it is inappropriate to apply three to four shades of eye shadow with 5 inch fake eye lashes, unless you are a professional clown. It is certainly not the right look for the office. There are numerous modeling websites that offer tutorials on applying eye makeup such as my favorite, The Queen of Blending. Save the sparkle and bright hues for Carnival Tuesday or Friday night at Zen. Try mineral powders that are hypoallergenic and healthy for your skin, rather than makeup bases that stop up your pores.
Turtlenecks
Even if the air conditioning in your office is frosty, turtlenecks are just not fashionable. You can choose options to keep you warm in the office such as a classy cardigan, a huge shawl, or a business jacket. If you wear a turtleneck it will only hide your neck. It does nothing for your figure, and just looks funny.
In short, the general fashion rule is less is more. Just because something is in fashion style it doesn’t mean you have to purchase every fashion trend that is current or that is on display on the mannequins. It’s important to be honest about your body type, and purchase clothes, shoes and accessories that match your skin tone, frame, and budget. You have to choose wisely.
