Eloquii

Torrid, a 20-year-old brand that IPO’d Thursday, has benefitted as body positivity has entered the fashion mainstream.

Walmart said the deal is expected to close this quarter.

This week, Mark Sebba has been appointed as an independent board member and advisor to Eloquii, and J.Crew's Jenna Lyons is exiting the company after 26 years with the company.

Fashion e-tailers Navabi and Eloquii are tapping online communities of plus-size consumers to enter one of fashion’s most underserved markets, worth $17.5 billion in the US alone.
