This is a unique project devoted to the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), a non-profit organization that is trying to improve the quality of life for overweight Americans. Well-known photographer Zed Nelson once visited the party of this Association. He always thought that everything he captured with his camera would be funny and even hilarious. But after spending a week with fat people, Nelson understood that they have a kind heart and a big soul and that other people laugh at them and treat them the wrong way. NAAFA allows overweight members to have a week of “self-empowerment and support”, and in 2010 it announced the $1 thousand fashion scholarship to encourage designers to create trendy plus-size clothing. The winner will be announced on August 5-9, during 2010 NAAFA Convention.
