Let’s talk about plus size *AND* LGBT-owned brands! This month at The Curvy Fashionista, we’re celebrating Pride Month by highlighting LGBTQ+ creators, fashionistas, business owners and members of our community!
Plus and LGBT-Owned Brands
In putting together this list of Plus and LGBTQ-owned brands, I’ve done my best to gather resources – I’ve sought references via social media as well as leveraged brands I personally know and love.
However, I know there are brands missing from this list – and it can be a bummer to open such a list and NOT SEE yourself. I’ve been there! Therefore, we invite you to “nominate yourself” and comment below if you are eligible! We would love to include all members of our community who should be on the list.
Are you ready?
