Polina Veksler and Alexandra Waldman had become tired of the established fashion standard; size had become the dividing line determining who had the privilege and freedom to dress with quality and style. So, determined to solve this problem, they launched Universal Standard in September 2015. Starting with the premise that clothes should look and feel good, they designed their own fabrics, applied keen insight into their designs, and with unrelenting attention to detail, created a line of modern, elevated essentials with a chic, downtown but classic aesthetic — giving women a new standard in style, experience and innovation.
