OneStopPlus.com - Plus-Size Retailer - Hits Runway for New York Fashion Week

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- OneStopPlus.com, a Redcats brand and the premiere online destination for curvy women, is receiving an overwhelmingly positive response to the announcement of its plus-size-only runway show debuting during New York Fashion Week. Set for September 15th, 2010 at The Atrium in Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, the fashion show will feature the leading plus-size models in the OneStopPlus.com Spring 2011 collection.

Attendance for the fashion show will be standing room only as the requests for invitations continues to grow.  Plus-size models like Lizzie Miller and Tocarra Jones will be among those gracing the runway in the top American and European plus-size fashions, and Emme, OneStopPlus.com's Brand Ambassador, will host the star-studded red carpet.  In addition, other special guests will include Nikki Blonsky ("Huge," Hairspray), KayCee Stroh (High School Musical), Whitney Thompson ("America's Next Top Model"), Caroline Manzo ("Real Housewives of New Jersey"), celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch, Richard Schiff (Solitary Man, Ray, "West Wing") and AJ Buckley (Skateland, "CSI: NY," "Supernatural").

"OneStopPlus.com is a global initiative that is core to the strategy of Redcats and is in line with PPR's (Redcats' parent company) broader strategy of offering quality fashion at every price," said Sylvain Desjonqueres, President and CEO of Redcats USA.  "We have been a leader in the fashion industry for decades and OneStopPlus.com continues our strong commitment to this important market segment."

OneStopPlus.com has been making history since its initial launch in 2007 as the world's first and only web-mall for plus-size women.  Over the last few years, OneStopPlus.com has continued to grow with the addition of numerous American and European brands, including: Woman Within®, Roaman's®, Jessica London®, AVENUE®, Taillissime, Ellos, Ulla Popken and most recently, La Redoute, with more partners to be added to the site in the near future.

The web-mall concept was also introduced in France earlier this year with the launch of OneStopPlus.fr, featuring well-known plus size European brands such as Active Wear, Anne Weyburn, Celaia, Daxon, Marianne James, Soft Grey, and Taillissime.

"The recent excitement and energy surrounding the plus-size revolution makes this the ideal time for OneStopPlus.com to debut at New York Fashion Week," says Stephanie Sobel, President of OneStopPlus.com.  "Since our announcement last month, the positive feedback from our loyal customers, the fashion industry and the media validates both plus-size fashion and the importance of our participation in this historic event."

OneStopPlus.com is a pioneer in the ever-changing fashion industry, proving that the 62% of American Women who are plus-size also have a love of fashion and are looking for the best trend-setting styles just as their thinner counterparts.    

OneStopPlus.com is working with 5W Public Relations and OBO LLC (the global event management firm), to create and execute this event.  For additional information, please visit: www.onestopplus.com, our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter at @onestopplus.
