READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THOROUGHLY:

*1) With regards to height, for now, this is what we need for the future projects. Age requirements must be achieved at the time you have sent your application. For example: Today, June 18, 2013 your age is 34 but you will be 35 before the go see on October 2013. IT'S OKAY. As long as you are within that age range 18-34 when you have submitted your application, IT'S OKAY.

In another example, you are 17 today (June 18, 2013) and you will only turn 18 years of age after the GO-SEE on October 2013 (ex your birthday is on November 2013 and so forth), unfortunately you will have to wait for next year.

*2) We really need models who are flexible in terms of modeling garments and is confident enough to wear sleeveless and tube.

We are open to both VETERANS AND AMATEURS. If you can do the poses that we require of you, then we are good.

We highly encourage that you get your photos done professionally or at least submit photos that are clear. This way, we can see you better. We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE that you at least submit the MINIMUM PHOTO REQUIREMENTS so that you give yourself a fairer chance when it comes to review. You are not giving yourself justice if you send us NUMEROUS HEADSHOTS and NO BODY SHOTS of yourself (AND VICE VERSA). We will only cater to those who have the minimum requirements to be fair to others who have exerted their effort in following it.

*3) to be revealed when model is chosen for project.

*4) We will only accept applications VIA EMAIL with the CORRECT FORMAT. Any application that has violated this format will be AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED to be fair to those who have complied with the instruction. Thank you.

*5) A lot of your girls are asking if we accept models OUTSIDE OF METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES. Yes we do. As long as your comfortable travelling to MANILA for the go-see and (if chosen) for the shoots on your own, we are okay.

There are also questions about the sizes. Please see the requirements above. You must have AT LEAST 2 of the measurements down to be accepted.

Example (1) you are good with the BUST AND WAIST but is beyond or short on the hips, IT'S OKAY.

Example (2) you are good with the WAIST AND HIPS but is beyond or short on the BUST, IT'S OKAY

Example (3) you are good with the HIPS AND BUST but is beyond or short on the WAIST, IT'S OKAY.

It is also good to note that you must know how to measure your body because only APPLICATIONS WITH COMPLETE AND CORRECT requirements are going to be accepted.

*6) ONCE YOU HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR APPLICATION, please wait AFTER THE DEADLINE (SEPTEMBER 30, 2013, MONDAY) for the announcement of the RELEASE OF INVITES on all of our social sites which will be around OCTOBER 2013. That is the ONLY TIME THAT WE WILL RELEASE INVITES. We will only review and screen the applications THOROUGHLY AFTER THE DEADLINE.

OTHER FAQ'S:

1. Please read and re-read everything before you ask any questions. Any questions that have been answered by the FAQ’s and this post will not be replied to. ONLY APPLICATIONS THAT CORRECTLY FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS will be entertained to be fair to those that did.

2. This go-see is for THE NEXT ERZULLIE ICON(s) which will be participating in the ERZULLIE 2014 collections. Models chosen for this plus size model go-see will become Icons and will have designated projects and responsibility for the brand. It's for the FASHION LINE ALONE. We are not a modeling agency (JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR). For the plus size model go-see we may get 1-2 models or none depending on how the go-see turns out and what the 2014 projects need.

This also means that YOU WILL BE MODELLING CLOTHES AND THERE WILL BE CLOTHES ON YOU.

3. It's a plus if you are a natural supporter of the brand or if you have bought and worn Erzullie before.

4. After the deadline, the fashion line will release INVITES via the OFFICIAL EMAIL OF ERZULLIE (erzullie@yahoo.com) ONLY to all the TOP 50 models accepted. Only THE FIRST 15 models to confirm their slot on a given deadline (to be stated in the invite) will be entertained. Only then will they be given instructions on the process of the plus size model go-see.

5. To those who have sent their applications last year 2012 and still want to join this year, OF COURSE YOU CAN. You just have to submit the requirements above again. WE DO NOT KEEP YOUR PORTFOLIO AND INFO WITH US FOR YOUR OWN PRIVACY AND PROTECTION FROM OUR END.

Cheers and good luck!

PLUS SIZE LIFE: "I BUY FROM LOCAL PLUS SIZE FASHION BRANDS"



We are still on a high after the Fierce+Flaunt event. Still continuing the spirit of both Filipino and Plus Size pride, the Erzulliesta mantra for this week is "I buy from local plus size fashion brands".

We know that it is somehow hard to find local plus size fashion brands at times, but rest assured we are all here to serve your needs. Aside from Erzullie, plus size fashion lines like Bilbiling, Chubbly, Love Curves, Tby, Ward88 and the like are all present and ready to give you your fashion fix. I also heard that Karimadon has plus sizes! Hopefully, by the next Fierce+Flaunt event, we would be able to invite more plus size brands for you to shop from.

Super hugs, ladies! Let's do this! Plus size women unite!

Cheers!

PLUS SIZE FASHION: THE ERZULLIESTA JUNE 2013 (3)



Greetings, Erzulliestas!

Well it is time to wrap the week up! We know it's late again but you know we had an event last Saturday and we must admit that we needed some rest. Hehe. But fret not, let's start catching up with your favorite plus size fashion brands!

For some context, you can read up on the last issue: The Erzulliesta June 2013 (2)

This week is all about pride for us --- Philippine and Plus Size.

#1 We started off with the plus size mantra that has been making waves in twitter (if we can say so ourselves lol). In spirit of the Fierce+Flaunt event happening last Saturday, the plus size mantra was "I Am Proud To Wear Plus Size Fashion".

#2 Speaking of the event, we have been announcing left and right developments about it. The slots were running out fast and well, we had 50 guests that reserved! The slots got filled up on the day of the deadline. We are very thankful for that! We also shoot out a small announcement the day before. The event was a huge success! A lot of plus size fashionistas went to the event in their fiercest outfit and if you are curious for more details, we have made the event post already.

#3 The same week we also had the Philippine Independence day. True to our culture, we have found some awesome Filipina giggles. And then we share our thoughts on what we think freedom means for a plus size woman.

#4 Our family is also growing, as such we definitely need more personal shoppers! If you think you have what it takes to handle our fierce Erzulliestas, by all means apply!

#5 As we went near the end of the week, we just had to take a look back at the Erzullie Pre-Holiday 2012 collection. After all, it is one of the most definitive decisions we have ever made as a brand. It was the first time that Berna and I have parted ways and divided the seasons among us fully. Ch-ch-check it out!

#6 Of course, what would Erzullie be without some fashion news? We know that the Resort 2014 collections has not been fully out yet. However, we are already observing some trends occurring. Short dresses are prevalent for Resort 2014. Question is, will plus size women buy it?

#7 Finally, remember the discussion about the cropped top? (Yeah, I even mispelled it.) Well, last minute, we were able to pull it off (Self high five!) in a different way (rewind of the high five). It may not be the exact sketch, but hey! It's still smexy fierce. So to give you girls some expectations of what the Erzullie Pre-Holiday 2013 collection would look like.

PLUS SIZE POWER: FIERCE+FLAUNT --- BUILDING A STRONG PHILIPPINE PLUS SIZE FASHION COMMUNITY



It is time ladies. No longer are we just, Erzulliestas, but we are now also part of a bigger community --- the Philippine Plus Size Fashion industry. Of course, it is fun to have our own universe here and there is definitely nothing wrong with that. But somehow, combining and meeting our other fashion blood sisters and cousins out there makes our existence so much richer and definitely a bit more fun.

Last night taught me that. As I saw plus size women from different fashion sides combining and mingling in one amazing plus size shopping event, all that I can see is the possibility of creating, with these women, a stronger Philippine Plus Size Fashion community. These plus size women, at the end of the day, no matter what the plus size style preference has something to share and connect with. They all have some strength to spare and wisdom to take in. The support for each other and sincere desire to uplift and have fun with each other in the event is utterly breathtaking and heart warming. It is this positivity that we all need as plus size women. In fact, I feel that this is the energy that we need to start making our community stronger.

I knew in my heart last night that this is it. It is time my fellow plus size fashionistas to start rallying together and meeting each other. Together, all of us --- plus size fashion brands, designers and consumers, can create a vibrant plus size fashion industry, where all curvy women can feel proud and safe for who they are and what they like.

We are a force to be reckoned with ladies. Why not exert that power? No longer should we beg for attention, when we can command it ourselves. No longer should we crave acceptance from others when we can just give that to ourselves and be with other women who think and feel the same. The Fierce+Flaunt plus size shopping event showed me that. You girls, showed me that.

As a plus size fashion industry lover, you girls made me realize that there is nothing to fight for, but there is something to strive for and that is creating a stronger and bigger Plus Size Fashion industry. And with the help of every sincere and passionate plus size woman out there, we can make it happen. We can all do this. All of us for ourselves.

You know why? Because we are Plus Size Filipinas, we put the "F" in the "Fierce" and the "Flaunt".

'Til the next event ladies! (We hope to invite more plus size brands in the future. Watch out for the announcement! For now, here are the photos of the event.)
