Curves Day History
To support and inspire the plus-size community worldwide, a great step was taken in 2015.
For the very first time, the idea of celebrating a day for curves came into the mind of Zak, the CEO of a famous clothing brand whose target audience is the curvy/plus-size community.
His thought to reduce the body shame among plus-size people gave way to those people embracing themselves as they are. This was a great contribution by him to society.
He inspired women and men to embrace their curves as they are by introducing Curves Day.
This day was celebrated globally in 2016 by a global non-profit social organization.
This organization has a motive to promote inner tranquility, self-assurance, and love for others.
