Gladys Knight presents “Knightwear”
Soul diva Gladys Knight has launched a lingerie line: Knightwear. She collaborated with the plus-size fashion company Ashley Stewart for the venture.
According to an interview in Women’s Wear Daily with parent company CEO Ethan Shapiro, Knight had been thinking about this type of line for quite a while.
Knight apparently wanted her clothing to serve the African-American pleasingly plump market because there “weren’t any luxury looks like this for people who would be considered plus-size,” Shapiro said.
There are close to 20 styles in the line with lots of satin and animal prints to go around. Prices start at US$27. For more information, check out the Ashley Stewart site.
