Search is on to find 2016’s Star in a Bra

Plymouth Students are to host D-plus lingerie brand Curvy Kate’s Star in a Bra party on Thursday 10th March 2016.

In conjunction with Breast Cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!, the Star in a Bra party will promote the lingerie brand’s search for their next curvy model, whilst raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and encouraging party-goers to get to know their boobs. The parties will be taking place at universities across the country from Edinburgh to London, with the tour stopping off at Plymouth University’s student union on Thursday 10th March. Each event will see bra fittings, bargain lingerie sets and £1 briefs. There will also be special drink offers, cupcakes and competitions and a LOT of boob chat.

The annual Star in a Bra competition launched in 2009 and champions the use of customer role models and promotes a positive approach to body image, which all women can relate to. All sizes, ages, shapes and heights are encouraged to enter as the brand continues to celebrate every body. The winner will go on to model with Curvy Kate in their latest campaigns and take away a modelling contract with top agency, Bridge models.

Star in a Bra title holder, Lotte Williams states, "Winning the competition meant so much to me, I love the idea of being able to stand up and represent all women by being the face and body of such an amazing brand. I want to help inspire women of all ages to be confident in the skin they’re in and to change the way body image is represented in the media. Why should we listen to someone telling us what the ‘perfect body’ is? We need to revolutionise the way the world sees ‘the perfect woman’ and I think Curvy Kate is the brand that will help us get there!”

“We are delighted to be teaming up with Curvy Kate in a bid to get the bra-wearing public of great Britain checking their boobs” – Sinéad Molloy CoppaFeel! Uni Boob Team manager
