What it Costs to Make a Luxury Blazer with Lauren Chan

DESCRIPTION Our plus size girlies deserve better than frumpy clothes or clothes that are gonna fall apart the moment you walk out the door. What we need is luxury, honey. That’s where our hero, Lauren Chan comes in. She is the founder of Henning, a luxury clothing brand for women sizes 12 and up. Oh, and did we mention she was Sports Illustrated’s first plus size queer model? Uh huh. Icon. Lauren pulls back the curtain on the business of fashion. While other companies complain about the “extra costs” of carrying plus size, Lauren made it work and made it beautiful. She talks about lessons learned from starting Henning, as well as the big A in business: acquisitions. Plus, Lauren shares how she’s planning to celebrate her wedding! We will be taking notes.  Stay up to date with us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @LemonadaMedia.  You can keep up with Lauren @lcchan on Instagram.  Joining Lemonada Premium is a great way to support our show and get bonus content.
