A Peek Behind the Scenes at Full Figured Fashion Week 2013!

From June 17th to the 20th, New York City has been abuzz with fierce, gathered, and curvy fashionistas on fire for Full Figured Fashion Week 2013. The Gathered Lady couldn't be there in person, but we planted a spy networked and got a sneak peek into one of their expo events. It just so happens that close personal friend, avowed oenophile, and award winning, wine-making genius Mikael Wargin of Wargin Winery was on the scene as an official sponsor of FFF week. Mikael's award winning winery is located near Santa Cruz, CA, but he flew across the country to attend the events bearing cases and cases of his Big & Beautiful wine label, complete with a very whimsical curvy fashionista logo. In the process of being a man about town, he snapped some pics of us of some of the looks on the scene this week. Thanks Mikael! 

Enough about wine (um, did I just really say that?)... more about FASHION! Here goes:

The Gathered Fashion Spread (June 15, 2013)

Happy Saturday! This week our ATL affiliate Queen Aftan attended the exclusive launch party for LA based Gourmet shoes' partnership with Young Jezzy and his new line of dope sneakers. The event was held at popular clothing boutique Wish in Atlanta. Special Guest Mimi Faust from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta showed up, as well as music artist Gloss, DJ Baby Yu and DJ RootsQueen and even Trinidad James. The event was serviced by Bottle Bar and with drinks by Avion Tequila. Jezzy's shoes are "the perfect blend of luxury and street". Suffice it to say, I definitely want a pair. Check out the fashion forward crowd and their swaggalicious style for your weekend inspiration!

A Gathered Event: Rosa Regale R&B Brunch

We are always scoping out the fashion savvy events and this week our Atlanta affiliate, Queen Aftan of I Am A Queen Royalty Productions, attended the very chic Rosa Regale R&B Brunch presented by Bravo TV's Chef Roble with the talented Estelle as a special Guest. Not only was the food phenomenal, the Rosa Regale sparking red was flowing and adding to the mood of mixing, mingling, and style. The ladies in attendance showed their sophisticated looks and the entire experience was indeed gathered. We loved the gift bags filled with valuable goodies like the lip gloss cell phone charm, light compact mirror, and a free download for Estelle's new single (jamming!). If you haven't tried Rosa Regale, definitely put it on your shopping list because it's love at first sip. Check out these fab ladies for some Monday Morning style inspiration!
