So often it feels like we give attention to brands that have yet to embrace a wider demographic of consumers, that the ones who do seemingly fly under the radar. Well, it’s time to give Universal Standard the praise it rightfully deserves. The minimalist and modern label that helped J.Crew finally expand its size range introduced its latest launch, Foundation, on on Thursday, and it’s being offered in sizes 00 to 4o — a variety unprecedented in the fashion industry.

“We’re not a plus-size brand, we’re not even a size inclusive brand,” Alexandra Waldman, co-founder and CCO of Universal Standard, tells Refinery29. “We’re just a brand of clothing for women, which is what the future holds for the fashion apparel industry and I think the sooner that’s embraced, the better for everyone.” This is evident not just through the latest product launch, but through its corresponding campaign imagery.

Photographer Ronan Mckenzie brought the brand’s vision of inclusivity and diversity to life by featuring 35 people who have been “foundational” to Universal Standard, including La’Shaunae Steward, Jari Jones, Georgia Pratt, Molly Constable, Aweng Chuol, Jess Miller, as well as brand partners and friends Christian Siriano and Julia Kisla.

“We just love Steward’s spirit, what she stands for, and the courage that it takes for her to do that,” Waldman explains. “It sounds a bit patronizing to say it takes courage, but it does. It takes a certain strength of character to put yourself out there and say, I am beautiful and have every right to be here, and I’m going to participate in every way that I possibly can.”

The hope is that this mindset will translate to your layering pieces — trusted standbys that make you feel good in the best possible fabric, ever. Right now, the collection includes a bandeau, a camisole, a T-shirt, and a turtleneck, as well as a long-sleeved tee, available in a crew and V-neck. “We will continue to build on these pieces,” Waldman says, “to make it easy to put your clothes on.” That way, you won’t have to think about what you’re wearing for the rest of the day. And, as Waldman says, that’s the ultimate freedom.

Universal Standard’s Foundation collection is available for purchase at its 11-month “retail experience” at 65 Greene Street in New York and online. Prices range from $35 to $200 for all seven pieces, which can be purchased individually or in a four-piece or seven-piece “kit.”
