The infamous Donatella Versace carefully responds to a reader question on Vogue.com about why designers may not make plus size pieces.

Why do designers typically refuse to design for sizes above 10? This question is not meant to be confrontational; I’ve just always wondered about this. Is it simply a prejudice? Wouldn’t it be a good business decision? I can understand not wanting to start a stand-alone plus-size line, but what about extending sizes to 14/16? We have money, too! —Daphne L. Scott, Chicago

We do offer larger sizes at Versace, but I take your point. I certainly wouldn’t want to do a plus-size line, as I have no problem with women of any size wearing my clothes. I guess some styles lend themselves to being scaled up, while some others just don’t work. Sometimes it can depend on the specific piece.

Some are saying that Versace doesn't want to design plus-size clothes, but I have to honestly say I can see her point, different body types can carry different styles differently.  Whether this was a sugar coated response, I don't know, maybe she should leave it up to the customer in deciding what to buy.  What do you think about Versace's response?
