Carmen Marc Valvo Creates a Home Line, Hates on Plus Size Women

Posted by , on April 10, 2009 at 9:00 pm

Citing “entertaining in the Hamptons” as the reason he created a line of house wares to be sold exclusively at QVC, Carmen Marc Valvo gets ready for his April 18 broadcast on the television shopping network. He tells WWD that his Carmen Marc Valvo Home line will consist of flower-shaped plates, space-saving stackable vases, cottonwood nesting bowls and beaded mosaic pillows, among other items.

For all of you out there hoping for a QVC diffusion line based on the designer’s high-end evening wear, this probably won’t ever happen. Mr. Valvo scoffed at the idea of creating a lower end clothing line for QVC when he told the industry newspaper, “What am I supposed to do 1X, 2X, 3X eveningwear?” Ouch.

    I’m not sure why Rachel Strugatz called Carmen Marc Valvo a fattist. He already has a plus sized line of evening wear that is worn by celebrities such as Oprah and Queen Latifah. Maybe his comment was taken out of context. He’s also a businessman and just doesn’t do low end clothing lines. Sorry honey!

    What he meant was that he does numbered sizes, not 1x-3x sizes. QVC’s plus size lines are not numbered like his are currently. He said somewhere that you just cannot get a true fit when an item fits 3 different sizes into one! I mean seriously? A size 26 and a size 20 are both supposed to be a 3x? that’s ridiculous.
