Renown fashion label Marc Jacobs is ready to become the first high-profile house to produce a clothing line for plus-size women.

The president of the label, Robert Duffy, announced on Twitter that he was in the early stages of discussions to produced the said clothing line.

Many designers have said it is harder to design for fuller-figured women as body shapes differ in larger sizes. The controversial nature of the issue was highlighted by Duffy himself, who said he would no longer discuss plus sizes on Twitter.

“No more questions answered from direct tweets,” he wrote. “To upsetting for some. Let’s not talk about larger sizes anymore today. Upsetting for many.”

Marc Jacobs himself is a fashion innovator. He has created a range of childrenswear and a new fragrance for men. His company has increased the number of boutiques in recent years.
