Marc Jacobs becomes first top fashion brand to create plus-size line
News 09 August 2010
Marc Jacobs, one of the world's most successful design labels, is set to become the first major fashion houses to produce a clothing line catering for women bigger than size 14.
Although there is yet to be an official announcement, Robert Duffy, president of the Marc Jacobs label, wrote about the move on Twitter, confirming that the company was in the early stages of discussions to produce a plus-size range. He said that it would be a year before the line was available. "We are in talks now. For plus sizes," Duffy tweeted. "Listen, we are in the very beginning stages of talking to a partner about plus sizes."
Marc Jacobs has recently launched Little Marc Jacobs childrenswear, Bark Jacobs dog accessories and a fragrance for men called Bang. During New York Fashion Week next month, he will launch Book Marc, a bookshop.
