The eight-piece collection is available in sizes 00-40 and features tailored suiting, fluid cupro, vegan leather and faux fur.
Universal Standard, a women’s fashion brand that offers sizes from 00 to 40, is introducing a holiday collection with entrepreneur, model and inclusivity advocate Lauren Chan on Thursday.
When Universal Standard acquired Chan’s company Henning in 2023, Chan stayed on to serve as head of brand partnerships.
Chan began her career as a fashion writer, and became a features editor at Glamour, where she oversaw the fashion team. In addition to editing, Chan designed 10 collections for the Glamour x Lane Bryant collaboration. She went on to launch Henning, her own brand of luxury plus-size clothing, in 2019, dressing such people as Ashley Graham and Stacey Abrams, before selling to Universal Standard.
Universal Standard’s holiday collection features eight styles, spanning tailoring, fluid cupro, vegan leather and faux fur. It’s Chan’s take on holiday dressing with pieces meant to look as luxe as possible and make the woman feel powerful, seductive and considered. The apparel carries the Universal Standard label.
Chan created the collection with Universal Standard’s chief creative officer Ramon Martin. It started with a shared vision for a tuxedo suit inspired by 1970s Yves Saint Laurent. Chan helped shape the pieces throughout fittings, including turning a midi dress into a floor-length gown she’d wear to a holiday party and a wedding. Masculine and feminine dressing come together in the line, which retails for $228 to $388.
