I would be so effin excited if he did a plus size line. I love his designs. They show such an eye for evolving fashion. Please Marc? Please do extended sizes!
I have been a fan of Marc Jacobs for years until I heard him say “He would never make his clothes of size 14″ This hurt because I had so much love for his work. So I stop even looking at fashion shows that featured him.
This is great if he does it but it does not dismissed what he said.
Is he doing this just because everyone else is and for a profit or is because he supports plus size.
Omg, that would be awesome! This is an iconic moment for the industry!
