People may come for the fashion… but they stay for the conversation.
And at this year’s the TCFStyle Brunch presented by Elomi, we’re bringing a plus size fashion panel that’s equal parts wit, wisdom, and wardrobe inspiration.
It’s called:
“Voices at the Table: Redefining Style on Our Terms.”
Because this isn’t just about what we wear, it’s about how we’re shaping the culture, challenging the industry, and setting the tone for what comes next in plus size fashion.
A Plus Size Fashion Panel Designed for Real Talk and Revelations
Moderated by our very own Marie Denee, this conversation will mix insider fashion intel with the kind of laughter, sass, and sisterhood that can only happen when the right women get in a room together.
We’re not tiptoeing around inclusion; we’re talking about building it, living it, and owning it. Expect spicy opinions, a few mic-drop moments, and plenty of inspiration you’ll actually take with you.
The panelists joining Marie each represent a different chapter in the evolution of plus size fashion, from luxury to indie, from artistry to accessibility. Together, they embody what it means to take ownership of style, power, and presence.
Meet the Voices at the Table
Tracy Christian, Founder of Sante Grace
If luxe, grown-woman glam had a spokesperson, it’d be Tracy. As the creative force behind Sante Grace, she’s redefining what power dressing looks like for women who refuse to blend in. Expect her to spill truths about confidence, entrepreneurship, and building a brand that makes women feel unstoppable… no matter their size.
Suzanne Vinnik, Designer and Founder of byVINNIK
A former opera singer turned designer, Suzanne knows a thing or two about taking up space… on stage and in fashion. Her brand byVINNIK fuses art, emotion, and elegance, creating pieces that make every woman feel like she’s center stage. Her story is a masterclass in reinvention, proving that the spotlight belongs to those bold enough to claim it.
Cynthia Vincent, Founder of Baacal and CFDA Member
As a CFDA member and the visionary behind Baacal, Cynthia has decades of fashion authority under her belt. She’s proof that luxury and inclusivity can coexist beautifully. From her CFDA recognition to her impeccable design sensibility, Cynthia continues to redefine what accessible luxury can look like for women who’ve been left out of that conversation for far too long.
And guiding it all?
Marie Denee, Editor-in-Chief of The Curvy Fashionista, media trailblazer and the voice behind countless conversations about visibility, representation and innovation in plus size fashion. Marie doesn’t just moderate; she cultivates space for real talk with real women moving the industry forward.
The Conversation: Style, Power and Presence
This isn’t a plus size fashion panel where we play nice. It’s a conversation about:
How indie designers are carving out space in an industry that loves to say “we’re working on it.”
What it really takes to design for and thrive in the plus size market.
How do indie designers build thriving brands in a system not designed for them?
What does inclusivity really mean when the runway keeps getting smaller?
How do we keep showing up when the industry tells us not to?
Why it’s time for luxury fashion to expand its vision of beauty body and value.
And how we’re all rewriting the rules one collection one conversation and one brunch at a time.
Because at this table we’re not waiting for permission… we’re leading with purpose and personality. This plus size fashion panel is the pulse of the brunch… bold honest and deeply rooted in community. It’s the kind of conversation that leaves you feeling seen inspired and ready to take your own seat at the table.
Why You’ll Want a Front Row Seat
Sure you could scroll fashion week hashtags all day but this is the conversation you’ll be talking about after brunch. It’s bold funny and full of moments that remind us why plus size fashion isn’t just important; it’s the future.
The TCFStyle Brunch panel is more than a conversation; it’s a statement: that our voices our stories and our style matter.
And yes it’ll get spicy. We promise.
Tickets are limited… don’t miss this lineup.
