Fashion is for everyone. Clothing can heal.

One of my biggest personal gripes with the fashion industry is how exclusionary it is – not just in size and price accessibility – but in pretension. Everyone wears clothing – yet the industry at large spends money + energy making folks feel left out, not good enough. They hope this is “aspirational” – that we will pay hand over fist to get an invite to the cool club. But for many folks – it just makes us not want to participate at all. No more. Not here. Fashion is for everyone. And it can heal. I’m so excited to…

In #FashionForAll, #AllMeansAll : Disability

One day I received an email from a cane user who told me she was in tears (happily) after seeing a model glamorously posing amidst the other models on my site, while using her cane. I won’t go into too many details, for the privacy of both her and my model – but suffice it to say, she had never seen that before, and this is why just one example of why representation is so important. There is so much “othering” happening in our society today – and a group that absolutely feels the brunt of it are disabled folks….

SmartGlamour Celebrates Pride!

SmartGlamour stands with the LGBTQ+ community in celebrating all the colors of the rainbow, all the milestones achieved and the continued efforts in the name of liberation and human rights. To celebrate Pride month, a portion of proceeds from the sale of these Amelia Tees will be donated to our customers’ LGBTQ+ charity of choice. We also thought that, in honor of Pride, our blog would be a great space for sharing personal perspectives on “Pride” from some of our favorite members of the SmartGlamour community – our models! We are thrilled to have been a support to the LGBTQ+…

In #FashionForAll, #AllMeansAll : Size

At SmartGlamour, when we say #FashionForAll, we truly mean all. Throughout 2017 we are highlighting the various marginalized groups that are often left out when brands + media say all or everone. In our first #AllMeansAll campaign, we highlighted how clothing should be inclusive of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals – that clothing items on their own do not actually have a gender, society chose to dictate that. Now as our year long campaign continues, we are highlighting the most under served plus-size population, those in sizes 24 and up. Because #AllMeansAll continues to mean just that; whether that all…
