![]() Key names in the US include Universal Standard and Dia & Co, both launched in 2015. Although the sector was hit hard by the impact of Covid, it remains significantly more advanced than in China. In sharp contrast to China’s approach, the more developed European and American plus-size markets, which also started out with an emphasis on low-priced fast fashion, have evolved to offer many brands with more sophisticated options. However, the majority of plus-size specialists that have pivoted to serving the domestic market have used low prices as their competitive differentiator. Taobao's official list of “favourite” plus-size shops includes five in Hangzhou alone. Plus-size womenswear manufacturers initially emerged in cities such as Guangzhou and Hangzhou to serve export markets. “However, this is what I understand about a good brand - finding the right group of customers, serving this group of people well, gaining insight into and establishing a real emotional connection.”īestsellers from her brand remain in the affordable category, such as a skirt for RMB 200 ($30), although a coat priced at RMB 3,700 ($552) extends the price range. The cardigan, although not exactly like Bella's, was a close find from Madewell that matched my black and blue Eloquii snakeskin boots (from the 'fit above because gorgeous, gorgeous girls rewear pieces) perfectly.“It's getting harder and harder to build a big brand, unless it's a low-price strategy,” said Yang Tianzhen, speaking at a conference organised by social platform Red. I sized up to achieve a baggier feel and have managed to wear the jeans three other days outside of this one as well. The jeans I’m wearing are Eloquii and, truthfully, they are perfect. It’s also incredibly difficult to find “oversized” pieces, which Bella wears a lot of, especially when you need oversized of a size that seems to already be considered oversized to its creators. I’d Google search intensely the descriptors of each item, find something of similar styling, and boom, be saddened when the largest size carried is an L. A lot of this process of finding similar pieces to Bella was me getting my hopes up. I found several similar options to her turtleneck that were darling, but of course, they didn’t come in my size. The first piece I looked for was a closely similar style of turtle neck that pushed out, similar to Bella. Our final look of the week was another simple in theory, slightly more complex in practice. So mark your calendars for the launch since getting a pair of UGG shoes has become an actual mission! It is the same silhouette as the Platform style, but this version has been updated to feature the braid design detail that you see in the Tasman style. As we shared earlier, this specific pair of UGG boots have been sold out for months, but UGG will introduce a similar alternative, the Classic Ultra Mini Braid, on January 16. ![]() This look was fun, and the UGG platform minis are a staple piece in my closet now. I opted for a leather shearling jacket from UGG and being that it was definitely 30✯ outside in NYC when I wore this (that's -1,1✬ for everyone else), I was grateful for a little more winter coverage. ![]() The original jacket Bella wears is an oversized western one from Opening Ceremony. Now, will I ever suggest wearing tiny white shorts to your place of work? Absolutely not. As a larger girl, I don’t always choose the look that’s riskier, but this was a fun moment to really step outside of the box and really push my confidence. That said, personally, this was the look I was most fearful of. Rocking uber-tiny white panty-like shorts with a leather jacket, UGG boots, and scrunch socks is such a power move. Bella truly knows how to be a showstopper. This look will always go down as a personal favorite just because of how chaotic it feels.
