Fashion brand Universal Standard has been at the forefront of efforts to create a more inclusive fashion industry, whether through its design collaborations, exchange policies or extended sizing. The brand, which has always offered sizes 6 to 32, has recently expanded that range to cover sizes 0 to 40.
LaShaunae Steward is a size 24 model who appears in Universal Standards campaign to launch the new range. A striking photo shows her wearing just a tank top, socks and underwear. In a post sharing the image on her personal Instagram page, the 5-foot-3-inch model called it the most powerful picture shed ever seen of herself.
