“I think everything that Universal Standard creates is very luxurious. It’s been created very thoughtfully. There’s room in the garment, there’s stretch. The materials are created so that they have longevity and they make you feel really good. That works with what we stand for. It’s not throwaway fashion; it’s about style over fashion. It’s about being cool and comfortable.” — Katy
“[Katy and Georgia] were working with Universal Standard since day one. I had my eye on them since day one because I was like, ‘Ooh, what is this? Finally!’ Every single thing was speaking to me — the color combos, the styles. Between us already being huge fans and identifying with the brand and then knowing the one piece that we really wanted to make, it was a really easy and organic experience. It fit into their aesthetic too. We all have the same vision and the same style.” — Candice
