Gayla Bentley Fashion Shark Tank Update

Gayla Bentley Fashion Shark Tank Pitch

Everything is bigger in Texas. Gayla Bentley is an obese fashion designer who finds luxury brands do not cater to fat people because it diminishes the status of their luxury brand.

Gayla Bentley Fashion fills this avoided market by designing luxury clothes that cater specifically to the 40% of people too large to purchase from the leading luxury brands.

Gayla is doing $500k revenue a year. She is the face (and body) of the brand with her charming character and is loved in Houston, Texas.

Barbara is the only shark interested and persuades Daymond to join her on a deal by disrespecting him and his "trophy wives." Daymond's past success in clothing feeds Gayla's appetite and she happily accepts.

Daymond and Barbara seek to profit from and gain social acceptance by incentivizing poor health decisions. You could say they want big money.
