Plus-Size Fashion Has No Future: How Universal Standard Has Disrupted the Clothing Industry
Hosted by Universal Standard

One hundred million American women are size 14+, and fashion brand, Universal Standard is proving that plus-size fashion has no future. The three-year-old clothing line is doing what was once unthinkable for a plus-size label, making garments 00–40. Hear from Cofounders Polina Veksler and Alexandra Waldman about their vision for the brand and how Universal Standard is leading the apparel industry toward true fashion diversity. After a discussion and Q&A with the founders, tour the showroom to see how their approach has been unique from day one, as they became the first fully inclusive fashion company to serve women in a broad range of sizing.
