Plus Size fashion festival and beauty contest kicks off in S

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Twenty fashion designers from Russia, Bulgaria, Belarus and Kazakhstan present their Plus Size collections for women at the Plus Size Week Fest 2016 in St. Petersburg, which started on Saturday.

The festival will also host a beauty contest among women with XL size and bigger. The organizers believe that many plus-sized women's rejection of their beauty is just the result of low self-esteem and doesn't represent men's real attitude, because beauty can be very different.

The Plus Size Week Fest 2016 will last for two days.
