The partnership with the actress serves as a continuation of the brand's series, which asks the question:“If you could design three pieces that you always wished you had in your closet, but could never find, what would they be?” The three pieces include an elegant off-the-shoulder dress, overalls and a poplin dress, that was inspired by Solange. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Direct-to-consumer Fashion:** The rise of direct-to-consumer fashion brands like Universal Standard creates opportunities for inclusive sizing and personalized shopping experiences. - **Body Positivity and Representation:** The partnership between Danielle Brooks and Universal Standard highlights the demand for inclusive fashion that celebrates diverse bodies and promotes body positivity. - **Celebrity-driven Fashion:** Celebrity collaborations like the 'Tria Collection' provide opportunities for brands to leverage star power and create exclusive and highly sought-after fashion collections. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take advantage of direct-to-consumer models and collaborations with celebrities to reach a broader customer base and explore innovative design concepts. - **E-commerce:** The rise of direct-to-consumer fashion brands presents opportunities for e-commerce platforms to cater to diverse customer preferences and streamline the shopping experience with advanced personalization tools. - **Entertainment:** The partnership between Danielle Brooks and Universal Standard highlights the intersectionality between the fashion and entertainment industries, showcasing the potential for cross-industry collaborations and audience engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Daily Style Accessible Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demi-lovato-x-amazon.md) - [Romantic Size-Inclusive Intimates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gabi-gregg.md) - [Inclusive Denim Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life.md) - [Inclusive Undergarment Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taimi.md) - [Size-Inclusive Shirt Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curve-by-the-shirt-company.md) - [Inclusive Lace Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md) - [Eco-Friendly Professional Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dana-bandi.md) - [Country Star-Collab Glamorous Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joleans.md)
