Designer Marc Jacobs to launch Plus Size Clothing Collection

The Mail online reported today that Marc Jacobs looks set to launch a plus size fashion collection after his business partner Robert Duffy announced on Twitter:

“We are in talks now. For plus sizes. 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.”

Duffy’s comments stem from his own frustration with fashion;

“I’m a big guy 6ft 4in, 210 lbs. [It's] not easy for me to find clothes,” he wrote.”Of course I can have them made. I know how everyone feels. I try to diet but… I don’t like the phrase plus-sizes. Any suggestions?”‘Your right. We gotta do larger sizes,” he added. “I’m with you. As soon as I get back to NY. I’m on it! It will take me about a year. But stay with us.”
