Bio

Annette Richmond is a California Girl who currently lives in the South. A self-proclaimed Fat Girl and staunch supporter of the Body Positive Movement. She's worked in the fashion industry for over ten years and is excited to see the change happening in the plus size industry. From dressing top models and celebrities to trend and color forecasting. Her work has been seen in music videos, magazines and on the red carpet. She is currently a Senior Fashion Stylist for an online company and has styled thousands of women. She aims to be a voice for Fat Fashionistas. Traveling is her newest obsession. She's visited over 14 countries in the last two years. She'll be moving to Asia later this year to study culture, fashion, and beauty. She is also the creator of the group Fat Girls Traveling. Which aims to take the stigma out of the F word and encourage big and beautiful women to jump in front of the camera!
