A new year is almost upon us and that means new beginnings, including fashion.
Indie brands always bring it, in our opinion. They design pieces that are sure to make you stand out. No basic offerings here where you might bump into someone wearing the same look. Indie designers are passionate about what they create for their customers so when you find an indie designer who loves to dress plus size women, support them 100%. They are here for us, to offer us clothing that’s fabulous, fits well and is slay-worthy.
Here’s 7 indie brands we personally love that we will be shopping this holiday season to prepare to slay in 2018, so watch out!
