Universal Standard teams with Planned Parenthood for women’s rights
It’s probably the last partnership you would have envisioned, but Universal Standard and Planned Parenthood are teaming up.
Over the years, Universal Standard has proven to be one of the most inclusive clothing brands when it comes to offering sizes that fit all women. With clothing that is not only stylish and stunning, but also available in sizes from 00 to 40, this is a fashion brand with women on its mind.
And now it looks like the company is taking its love for women a step further by teaming up with Planned Parenthood. This collaboration is all about raising money for a good cause: to help with reproductive health initiatives.
As part of this unique partnership, there will be more than just a sample sale happening; there will also be original content available online that includes personal stories from women who have utilized Planned Parenthood for their health services.
Of course, the Universal Standard x Planned Parenthood sample sale is also about the fashion as well. The sale itself begins on July 23 and runs until July 31 via a special website set up specifically for this event.
Customers who take part in the sale will find fashionable pieces on sale for up to 75 percent off their retail price. And it’s not just the consumer who will benefit from the sample sale, as 50 percent of the profits from each purchase will be going to Planned Parenthood directly.
According to Universal Standard CEO, Polina Veksler, “As a brand, we believe in access, and above all else, we are on a mission to make sure all of us are represented, as we are. Planned Parenthood provides the most vital access — information, education, resources, and treatment to help people live healthy lives.”
And Universal Standard was not alone in explaining the purpose of this partnership or why it is so important. The President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of New York City, Laura McQuade, also spoke about this special team-up, saying, “We want to live in a world where people are celebrated for their unique differences. Universal Standard is breaking barriers that limit individual expression — and they’re doing it with extraordinary style.”
Considering Universal Standard has already made strides to create a sense of “Fashion Freedom” for all, it makes sense that they would want to support an organization that is about supporting all people. This sale might be about fashion and getting a great deal, but at the end of the day it is also about supporting a cause. And that cause is one’s health and well-being.
