Davies is the fashion entrepreneur famed for launching Next, the George range at Asda and the Per Una collection at Marks & Spencer.
Davies has not been involved in supermarket retailing for 10 years, after he left Asda in 2000.
The Bradford-based supermarket is thought to be in advanced talks with Davies, and the range could be launched as early as this autumn, according to reports.

The move into fashion is a central part of Morrison's chief executive Dalton Phillips' plan to expand the brand into new areas.
Davies launched Per Una at Marks & Spencer in 2001 and subsequently sold it to the retailer for £125m in 2004.
Davies’ latest clothing business, GIVe, is slowly being phased out. The brand's name is a play on "George IV" as it was the designer’s fourth range, launched in 2009.
Morrisons declined to comment.
