Product Description
I was super Richard Tandy 1948-2024 Thank You For The Memories Signature T-shirt excited to shop for wedding dresses,” said Kaylee Slagus, a plus-sized content creator who got married in 2022. Slagus also trawled Pinterest for inspiration, but only saw “smaller” bodies. Buying plus-size clothing is generally frustrating – there’s little variety, it sometimes costs more than straight-sized clothing, and plus-size items often don’t fit my body the way I like. To make it even more confusing, bridal salons use their own sizing. We all complain about vanity sizing when it comes to buying regular clothes, but bridal sizing goes in the opposite direction: a bridal 10 is roughly a street 6, although there’s no real industry standard. A 2019 study by the Knot found that 50% of brides who were a size 12 or higher were self-conscious about the dress shopping process – twice the proportion of brides under a size 12 who felt anxious about it. Despite all this, I was determined to have a good experience. Having been in several weddings as a bridesmaid, maid of honor or guest, I was prepared. I emailed several stores before making appointments to ask if they even had samples of gowns big enough for me to try. Still, after five appointments at various salons around New York City and Long Island, the whole thing left me wondering how – in 2024 – the bridal industry can still be so anti-fat.

Richard Tandy 1948-2024 Thank You For The Memories Signature T-shirt senior fashion features editor, says part of the trend’s appeal is that it adds a unique element to the wearer’s look. Lischke, who describes himself as “a souvenir superfan”, likes to wear chunky beaded necklaces he picked up for €10 on the Greek island of Hydra, and a feathered brooch he found in the gift shop of the Fife Arms, in Scotland. “I love pieces that are specific to the area you find them in. They help add personality to a simple outfit. I’d much rather go to a souvenir shop than a luxury shopping mall.” I-D’s global editorial director, Olivia Singer, has made an all-black wardrobe featuring sharp silhouettes from Marc Jacobs and Alaïa her signature, but it’s a pair of cheap Eiffel Tower-shaped earrings bought from a merch stand in Paris that she wears the most. Other favourites include a shell necklace from a beach holiday and a silver pyramid charm necklace from a trip to Egypt. “It’s a fine line between wearing souvenirs and dressing like Edina Monsoon, but it’s nice to wear nice memories of things,” says Singer. Pikol’s founder, Dan Branston, says he sourced the glass cloths from car boots, explaining that nostalgia is an important part of the trend. He favours a faded cloth. “It has more of a back story. It makes you think about the person that brought it back in their suitcase from a holiday.” Lischke believes the trend is a wider backlash to the quiet luxury mood that has dominated fashion discourse. “Souvenirs aren’t minimalist but they do have forever appeal. People want to wear things that evoke joy. We are heading towards a loud fashion moment. Souvenirs are the first wave.”
