In today’s episode of TCP, we talk with Selina Weekes, the founder and CEO of Manik  Magazine.  Manik Mag is a fashion and lifestyle mecca for curvaceous women. They cover fashion, beauty, health, and pop culture. They define fashion, news, and personalities that shape the curvy community. Combining the beauty of a high-end fashion magazine and the  dynamic energy of a website, Manik Mag delivers the latest on independent plus size designers; plus size labels; runway reviews; and the latest MUST HAVES now.
 
Selina is also one of the creative minds behind New York Fashion Week Plus.  NYFW+ is in it’s first season and will take place from Sept 9-Sept 13.  
 
Selina discusses NYFW+ and where the inspiration to create such an event came from.  She discusses the importance of maintaining the integrity of Plus Size fashion events and helping emerging designers gain exposure and notoriety.  NYFW+ isn’t about making money or making a big name for the show producer(s), it’s about the designers, their collections, and getting back to the roots of fashion.  
 
We go into more detail about the show, what to expect, the ups and downs of producing a groundbreaking show such as this,  and all of the designers as well.  Here are a list of Designers for NYFW+
