Prepare yourself, Los Angeles—the most prominent and enduring traveling event in the plus size fashion industry is making its highly anticipated debut on the West Coast, bringing along a bold, unapologetic sense of style and an invigorating atmosphere that you simply cannot afford to miss.
Crusade of Curves, initiated by Platform, LLC in 2017, is proudly celebrating nine transformative years dedicated to innovation within the plus size fashion and lifestyle sector. What once started as a powerful showcase rooted in the Southeast has now blossomed into a national movement, effectively uniting curvy creatives, beauty aficionados, and fashion enthusiasts in a space designed for us, by us.
The 2025 edition kicks off in Los Angeles, poised to deliver a spectacular atmosphere filled with the usual flair, excitement, and flyness that loyal fans have come to associate with Crusade of Curves. This year’s theme, “New Nostalgia,” transcends mere aesthetics; it embodies a vibrant celebration of the iconic moments that have shaped our cultural landscape, now remixed for a new generation of fashion trailblazers. Expect to see retro silhouettes reinterpreted, vintage aesthetics infused with contemporary elements, and narratives that pay homage to the past while paving the way for the future.
