History of National Curves Day

National Curves Day was established in 2015 by Zak Bell, the Creative Director and CEO of Jon Marc Collection. The day was created to inspire plus-size women to embrace their bodies and boost their self-confidence. It initially focused on women but soon expanded to include men as well. The celebration aims to combat body shaming and promote body positivity, encouraging individuals to appreciate their unique shapes and sizes.

In 2016, National Curves Day became a global nonprofit organization, extending its mission to empower everyone. The organization promotes inner peace, confidence, and self-love through various events and campaigns throughout the year.

It collaborates with fashion designers, influencers, and activists to spread its message of inclusivity and body positivity. This annual event has grown into a significant movement, advocating for better representation of plus-size individuals in the fashion industry and society.
