Abercrombie & Fitch will begin offering plus-size clothing this spring. This marks a significant change for the company, whose CEO Mike Jeffries once said: "We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely." The plus-size selection will, at least, let people who are larger than a size 10 belong to the club; there will also be more colors and shoes. [Racked National]
