Initially interested in consulting with brands to help them expand their clothing ranges into larger sizes, lcchan realized she could do even more by starting her own line.
Chan joins the ranks of fashion founders aiming to make the retail space more inclusive. Focused initially on sizes 12-24, Henning offers an underserved market a fresh perspective on cutting-edge style. “That minimal, professional, and fashion-conscious sharply tailored look had been missing for women over a size 12,” said Chan over the phone, from the brand’s Brooklyn headquarters. “That’s what I wanted my entire career in fashion, and was never able to find.
The experience Chan garnered as a model and editor served to inform Henning’s perspective, but creating her own line from scratch required a crash course in the nuts and bolts of clothing production. “From button sizes, to the nuances of patternmaking, to the importance of selecting the right fabrics. I had to learn it all—and very fast,” she explains.
Inspired by some of her favorite labels, like Theory and Joseph, Chan wanted her debut collection to focus on modern workwear. Despite 68% of American women wearing over a size 14, options that are both office-appropriate and size-inclusive continue to be limited. In professional settings, where dressing well can mean the difference between success and failure, the absence is most keenly felt.
