I just found out that Saks will begin offering select designer clothing in sizes up to 20 starting this fall. Pieces by such designers as Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, and the mothership of fashion, Chanel, will be offered in the NYC SFA starting this fall and if it goes well, will eventually expand to other locations. I'm keeping my fingers crossed even though there is just a Saks outlet in Minneapolis. Quite simple, it's all good for plus size women because it ups the ante in terms of what designers are offering to all potential customers. Who among us hasn't dreamt of wearing a Chanel jacket?
On this same note, Marc Jacobs (cutie pictured above) will soon be offering a plus-size line. It apparently will not be based on the collections shown in annual fashion weeks, but since Marc is known for his stylized, modern updated pieces, it bodes well for those of us begging for this look. As with Saks, it also expands upon what is out there for all women, not just a select few and that can't help but be a positive sign that the retail world is finally getting it. Are they finally getting the message that plus size women simply want the same resources their smaller sisters have for clothing? My hats off to Marc Jacobs and a selection of some of the fun pieces he offers currently (not plus size unfortunately) via http://www.net-a-porter.com/ (including a pair of grey suede booties that I covet. Oh fall..where are you?!)
