Robert Duffy Marc's business partner tweeted: "We are in talks now. For plus sizes. For all you who seem to know my co. Better than me. Hope it works out. Lighten up!"
For some this news may be shocking but to me it was predictable. Saks Fifth Avenue announced offering plus sizes, did you think all of a sudden there would be a new set of luxury designers being placed on the Saks Sales sales floors??? Plus size women want the same designers offered to them, it's only natural for designers to quickly react by creating plus size collections.
For those in disbeleif Duffy later tweeted: "Listen, we are in the very beginning stages of talking to a partner about plus sizes. Relax. It won't be based on the collection line... Marc and I are building a brand. That's what we do. We will Always have a collection line..."
Brands who are not featured in Saks Fifth Avenue and vertical retailers will also begin to cater to plus sizes in order to compete and gain market share in the luxury plus size apparel market. The fashion business is evolving...There are always sudden changes in fashion and companies either have to get with it or get lost...
