The legendary comedian and actress, Whoopi Goldberg, is out here making big moves and investing a lotta paper into her ambitious dreams. Here’s the thing about her latest venture though- it isn’t necessarily what one would expect from her…which may, or may not be a good thing.
Ms. Goldberg has officially launched a new clothing line, called Dubgee. The brand is referred to as an ‘all-inclusive’ line for women of all sizes and goes up to size, 3X. Dubgee offers styles that are specifically catered toward Whoopi’s personal fashion choices and retails between $90 to $400.
In a new interview, with Business of Fashion, The View co-host admitted that her personal body insecurities pushed her to create the brand that will encourage women of all sizes to ‘like’ and ‘love’ themselves:
“For me, the idea has always been to be comfortable…. This is as serious to me as anything else I’ve done in my life. The first thing you should communicate is, ‘I like me.’ I think the motto of the company is, ‘The last thing you should ever fret about is what’s in your closet.’
I started feeling kind of weird about my body, which is something I had never experienced before. And it suddenly occurred to me that if that’s how I’m feeling, maybe other people are feeling the same way.
I want to wear what we are making. I want to say, ‘Here’s why I love it, here’s why I think you’ll love it.’ I can convince people to take a shot at feeling better.”
