This year’s winner of the Full Figure Fashion WeekAward for Best Plus Commercial Print Model of the Year is the HOT Brazilian model Fluvia Lacerda.

The Red Carpet event starts at 6:00pm, expect to see Fluvia there in full glam.

“The fact that I won this award is a major deal and I’m very passionate about my work, mostly because I feel that I represent the body image of many women,” says Lacerda. “I'm not only a healthy woman, but one who wears a size 18 and am confident about it.”

As late as last year, mainstream fashion argued the legitimacy of plus-sized fashion in the industry. Full figured fashion has made significant strides over the past few years, and continues to earn much deserved credit and praise for positive body imagery for women. Overcoming society’s stigma, Full Figured Fashion Week celebrated those who have contributed to the plus size fashion industry.

St. John ropes in Kate Winslet as new face

The luxury knitwear manufacturer brand, St. John has roped in actress Kate Winslet as its brand ambassador.

The actress replaced Angelina Jolie and Karen Elson who formerly endorsed the brand.

Reports regarding a row between the brand and Jolie started coming last year, when some of the media channels claimed that, Jolie had some issues regarding the outfits that she was required to put on for the brand.

The brand managers said that they roped in Winslet to endorse the 2011 line as, she best exemplifies the brand’s contemporary sensibility.

On the other hand, Winslet said that, she took up the offer as she feels that the brand symbolizes the dressing and living style of today’s women. She said that the brand’s collection is stylish and elegant, and that she is thrilled to be associated with the brand.

Dog on catwalk gets RSPCA hot under collar

Ksubi, then Tsubi, once had rats on their catwalk. And, yesterday, the label Terri Donna, presenting as part of the swim-wear and resort wear group show, sent a bikini-clad model clutching a shaved, dyed dog down the runway of Sydney's Overseas Passenger Terminal.

Reminiscent of the film Legally Blonde, dog and carrier were perfectly coordinated, down to their matching hair bows.

The cute factor was an obvious hit with the audience with many at the show raising their cameras to get a photo. Outside the show, a leashed Pomeranian, also dyed, was sighted.

Animal welfare organisation RSPCA ACT was unimpressed with the use of a dog as an accessory.

Chief executive Michael Linke said he disagreed with the shaving and dyeing of the dog for aesthetic reasons.

''Manipulating the animal, shaving it and changing it for a fashion show is not normal,'' he said. ''To make aesthetic changes to suit humans disrespects the animal.''

While the shaving was unlikely to cause the animal any profound suffering, unless it were susceptible to the cold, it could end up bothered by skin irritation.

The designer, Terri Donna, could not be reached for comment.

The other shows in the group presentation were animal-free. Foxton Danger showed big, bold kaftans with huge tropical flower prints, ruffles to embellish and a kaleidoscope of vivid hues.

Karen Neilsen Collection offered digital prints of giant pairs of sunglasses and butterflies, scanty bikinis and body-baring tops.
