Another celebrity has ventured into the plus size fashion world.
Actress Whoopi Goldberg announced this week that she has partnered with Ashley Stewart to be the exclusive plus size retail partner of her new clothing line DUBGEE.
The new clothing line that’s inspired, founded and designed by the actress was born after Goldberg struggled to find clothing in her size. Inspired by her initials “W.G.”, the collection empowers and promotes individuality with stylish, comfortable and aspirational products that fit every lifestyle.
Meant to be worn, layered and lived in, each garment is created with its ambitious, fun-loving customer in mind.
Goldberg said in an official statement:
“Ashley Stewart is more than just a clothing brand. It’s a movement, a lifestyle and a broader platform that I’m grateful to be a part of. I’m delighted to partner with Ashley Stewart because their mission to empower women, inspire ambition and strengthen the community really hits home, and ultimately is what this new fashion line is all about. I am proud to say that I Am Ashley Stewart.”
Ashley Stewart will carry 27 DUBGEE styles, which includes tops, bottoms, dresses, loungewear and accessories, available in sizes 1X – 3X. Prices range from $19.50 to $89.
James Rhee, Chairman and CEO of Ashley Stewart said in an official statement:
“For thirty years, Ashley Stewart has stood for individuality, strength and fun, so a partnership with Whoopi was only natural. We couldn’t be happier to welcome DUBGEE into our family and our increasingly influential platform.”
The DUBGEE collection is available now online at AshleyStewart.com. Select Ashley Stewart stores across the country will carry the collection in time for Memorial Day weekend.
