Full Figured Fashion Week Announces Dates For Casting Tour

December 1, 2015

 Models and aspiring models, it is that time of year again. No, not Christmas or New Years… It is time to knock the dust off those heels and start practicing you best runway presentation. Why? Because Full Figured Fashion Week is all geared up for it’s 2016 casting tour.

Yep, hot off the presses (social media), the Mogul Diva, Gwen DeVoe has announced the casting dates for 2016. As we all have learned this will determine who makes it to “the wall” and ultimately becomes a part of the elite group of models who will rip the runway during 2016 Full Figured Fashion Week.


Since I am officially a part of the FFFWeek team, I can tell you that this year the casting experience will be different. I won’t say better because the setup was already great, however this year you can look forward for a little more. Now don’t get it twisted, some things will never change; The Original Runway Diva , Sharon Quinn will still be watching to assure that models represent the brand… WELL! Oh yeah, and Sir Icon, Marco Mays will be on hand to make sure potential models are ready and well informed before they meet the queens of the plus size runway.

While I am not a model or a coach, I learned a few things from last years casting. I wasn’t gonna share but I think I will.

1. Bring your A game! Aside from being former models, Gwen and Sharon have worked with the greats. Mediocre won’t cut it.

2. Follow instructions! This a major production, respect that. If the attire is all black adhere to that. You wouldn’t want to be cast out for failure to follow directions.

3. A clean natural beat please! Ladies, please for the love of Christ don’t come to the casting with your face all caked up.

4. Be comfortable! Make sure you clothing and you shoes are cute, within the guideline but comfortable. You can’t walk trying to keep your skirt from riding up nor can you walk your best in shoes that pain your feet.

5. No selfies! Again I say, this is a major production; even if you don’t fully know the industry you must know that a certain level of professionalism is expected. Photo need to be current and one that shows you in your best light.

Now that I have given you the good news and added my two cents,  are you ladies ready?

I don’t know to much about FFFW except that i keep mis sing the events because i only see tid bits about it from different bloggers page after ithe iso over,I am just trying to stay ahrad this year so i dont missue oit . I realy would like to get some clarity and get further involved. Do they normally have casting calls in January and the event the month after? What exactly are the casting calls for? Is there a way I can get alerts on the events ahead of time.How does it all work?

            January 1, 2016 at 2:32 am

            The event is in June. You have to your research because I am not sure about hotels in the city. However, for a model, you need to bring your “A game”! Good luck.

            Best,

            January 5, 2016 at 12:58 pm

            No, this event has been in place since 2009. It is a staple in the plus size community, they just have a way of doing things. The dates are announced ahead of time to give models the opportunity to prepare in the event that they have to travel. However, as the dates get closer, they announce locations and times. That is just the way they do things. I can assure you, there is no funny business I have attended the castings and the event.

        • Phat Girl Fresh says

          January 5, 2016 at 12:59 pm

          The locations and times are announced at a later date.

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
