Plus size at Marc Jacobs?


Marc Jacobs's CEO, Robert Duffy, announced on twitter that there was a possibility to add a size 18 to the collections. Marc Jacob tweeted "As soon as I get back to NY. I'm on it! It will take me about a year. But stay with us. Problem solving is a big part of our job". It's a good thing that he thinks about ladies who're not a size 0 or 1! Since beauty comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes, he should really consider making clothes for plus size women. (Funny thing is Marc Jacobs himself is very far from what you can call a "skinny" guy).

The Commanders are OUT!

  1. ça me fait penser à MANGO, eux aussi ils avaient fait une collection "plus size".
    mais c'est gentil de faire des fringues pour les grosses mais le problème est pas là tu vois, c'st dans la conscience des gens et les regards de la société.
    Pcq les grosses elles trouveront toujours comment s'habiller. Le jour où il fait DEFILER des nanas avec des tailles 44, là c'est un avancement......

  2. Complètement d'accord avec toi! C'est bien beau de penser aux filles un peu enrobées mais le jour ou elles seront vraiment mises a l'honneur c'est lorsqu'elles auront autant de chances qu'une fille de taille 0 de faire la couverture de Vogue ou Vanity Fair!!
    Le combat contre les stéréotypes et le lavage de cerveau par les médias (ils nous font penser que telle ou telle taille ou couleur de peau est meilleure)continue!

    Merci pour ce commentaire!
