Here it is at last - the web site of FFFWeek 2012 has officially launched.
The most significant page for many readers will, of course, be the model-registration tab.
http://fffweek.com/2012/model-registration
It comes with a graphic showing one of the stars of last year's FFFWeek, Katherine Roll. It's an effective reminder of why Full Figured Fashion Week is the gold standard of runway shows in the plus-size industry - because it features models like Katherine, gorgeous and genuinely full-figured, at a size 18.

The specifics for models to qualify remain unchanged. They exemplify the standards that all clients should use when booking plus-size models
Minimum height- 5'7" without heels (if you are a plus petite model, you are encouraged to submit but your weight MUST be proportionate to your height. First consideration will be given to models who are at least 5'7")
Dress sizes between - 14-22
Runway experience is mandatory
The fact that plus-size models should begin at a size 14 is the critical cutoff to ensure that the models actually represent full-figured women and exhibit visible fullness. The openness to petite plus-size models is also admirable.
The model-registration page lists further particulars for candidate submissions, each of which must be followed to the letter.
Further tabs at the FFFWeek site are also open to designers, volunteers, the Face of FFFWeek, etc.
Last year's show was truly the greatest runway event the fashion world has ever seen. I can't wait to see what this year's show will be like!
