“It's [the plus-size market] the last unexplored opportunity in the fashion business. If I were Tom Ford or Miuccia Prada, I would make upscale, groovy, hip clothes for plus sizes. The problem is a prejudice against large sizes in the fashion business.”

–Simon Doonan, creative ambassador-at-large, Barneys New York, The New York Times, 2002
