Apr 22, 2002/ FW/ --- When Mode Magazine folded, it left a gaping hole in the fashion mag industry. It was the only magazine dedicated to plus size fashion.

Thank goodness, we have been blessed with "Grace," the new magazine for plus size fashion.

The first issue of Grace spotlights an interview with top model Kate Dillon "Up Front." Readers will discover Kate's views on fashion -- how dressing beautiful leads to feeling beautiful; on inner and outer beauty; and on accepting who you are.

The new "full-fashioned" women's glossy, Grace Magazine, will launch its premiere issue on newsstands May 14, 2002, as announced by Grace Magazine editor in chief, Ceslie Armstrong.

Grace is redefining the "plus sized" category as "full fashioned." The magazine embodies the full-fashioned lifestyle with features and columns that highlight relevant fashion, beauty and style tips while offering an extensive shopping and resource guide that caters to the 68% of women who are a size 12 and above.

Grace will stay true to its mantra, "living life to its fullest," by going beyond fashion and beauty, devoting sections to travel, food, wine, pop culture, entertaining and home design.
