Here's the message from LTS' COO Alison Doherty

I hope you are as well as can be expected in these unusual times.

This isn't easy to write, however honesty is always the best policy so I'll be completely transparent in explaining the decision we have made.

The changing economics of retail, along with fierce competition, have hit us hard. Trading has been incredibly challenging and we've relied heavily on shareholder support to bolster LTS.

The very sudden and very profound impact of Covid-19 has further weakened our position. The economic outlook is now too uncertain for our shareholders to continue to support the business, so it's with a very heavy heart that I must tell you we will be winding down Long Tall Sally. Please know we explored every possible avenue to continue trading but the financial impact of the pandemic means the business is no longer sustainable

I know how disappointed you will be to receive this news. I don't think it's an overstatement to say that, after 44 years of trading, it really is the end of an era. I only wish it didn't have to be this way.

If you have questions, I promise to do my best to answer them. Please click here for FAQs, which we'll keep updated as we progress. I'm sure you'll want to know *when* we're closing. At the moment, our aim is to continue trading until the end of August but if anything changes, you'll be first to know.

On a personal note, it's been my privilege to serve Long Tall Sally for the past ten years. I couldn't be more proud of the brand, the community and the incredible team we've built. I will miss them all immensely.

On behalf of the entire team here at Long Tall Sally, thank you for joining us on our journey.

Best wishes,

Alison Doherty
Chief Operating Officer

LongLady Fashion

LongLady Fashion Company – mode voor de lange vrouw

Vrouwen worden steeds langer, maar helaas is er nog weinig fashionable en aantrekkelijk geprijsde kleding te vinden die daarin écht goed voorziet. Mouwen van shirts en blouses zijn te kort en sluiten niet mooi rond de borst, de schouders zijn te krap, taillenaden bij jasjes zitten te hoog en er is geen rekening gehouden met meer beenlengte. Met de lancering van de Nederlandse webwinkel www.longlady.nl is daar nu verandering in gekomen. Ook de langere vrouw kan hier hippe, stijlvolle, casual en/of business kleding kopen die volledig aansluit op haar langere lichaam.

Anita van Komen is met haar 1 meter 89 zelf ervaringsdeskundige. Jarenlang had zij een probleem met het vinden van hip/chique vrijetijdsmode. Daarnaast, met een achtergrond in de financiële wereld, had zij ook moeite met het vinden van de juiste zakelijke kleding. Dit bracht haar in 2009 tot het initiatief om zich helemaal te storten op deze tekortkoming in de modewereld en begint ze met de voorbereidingen van een eigen modelabel en de lancering van webwinkel Longlady Fashion Company.

Basics & fashion items

De collectie van LongLady Fashion Company biedt een zeer compleet assortiment van blazers, pantalons, trendy workers, blouses, t-shirts, tunieken, jurken, leggings, jasjes en mantels en natuurlijk sportkleding. Mooie basics worden gecombineerd met snel wisselende items die de laatste modetrends volgen in belijning, applicaties en kleuren. Daarnaast biedt LongLady Fashion Company jeans in lengtematen 36" en 38".

De gehele collectie is ontworpen en samengesteld door Anita en haar team, waarbij veel aandacht is besteed aan afwerking en details, stoffenkeuze en duurzaamheid. De pasvorm is volledig aangepast aan vrouwen die langer zijn dan 1 meter 78. Niet alleen de mouwlengte en beenlengte zijn langer, maar alle items zijn zo gemaakt dat ze het gehele lichaam mooi omsluiten. Dit betekent dat de maatvoeringen van borst, taille, knieën en ellebogen beter in verhouding zijn; uiteindelijk gaat het om dié centimeters die qua pasvorm het verschil maken!

Winkelen en bestellen is heel eenvoudig. De website is helder, overzichtelijk en absoluut gebruiksvriendelijk te noemen. Daarnaast biedt de site volop informatie en heeft de bezoeker voortdurend keuze uit nieuwe collectiestukken. Veel winkelplezier (en pasvorm) toegewenst!

Lucky Brand

Tall women's jeans with up to 36 inch inseams and women's shoes in up to US size 11.

We know that jeans are much more than just denim and grommets; they’re a true blue American icon. 

Staying true to the rich heritage - and authentic, all-American spirit - of denim, Lucky Brand began crafting great-fitting, vintage-inspired jeans in Los Angeles in 1990. We gave them their distinctively Lucky look by literally putting them through the wringer - ripping, fraying, sanding, patching and washing by hand - to give them true character and soul. Then, we added authentic hardware, personalized touches and playful details, and an American legend was born.

Our jeans are made for the free-thinker, the artist, the dreamer; they’re made to dance, work, run, jump, play and rock ‘n’ roll (just like you). Our inspiration doesn’t just come from the rugged workwear of denim pioneers, but from the free spirit and laid-back lifestyle of our Southern California roots. We find inspiration everywhere, from the secluded outlooks of Big Sur, to the old-school tattoo parlors of Venice and the beautiful beaches of Malibu. We reference music, art and photography - old and new - to create truly unique pieces that you’ll wear over and over again. You’ll find Lucky Brand all over America - in 209 stores (and counting) - as well as select department stores and online.

By Dorothy Crouch | Thursday, March 15, 2018

When women who measure at least 5 feet 9 inches tall shop for denim, they are often left feeling as though styles such as flares or skinny jeans will end up resembling cropped gauchos or capris.

Standing at 5 feet 11 inches, former model and actress Kathryn Brolin decided it was time to launch Midheaven Denim to provide solutions for other tall women who want to find their ideal denim.

"Midheaven targets tall women like me who are looking for inseams a bit longer than what is usually found out there, but we’ve been so pleased to see that women of even average heights are ordering and absolutely loving their Midheavens. So, they've been rolling, they’ve been hemming, they’ve been self-altering their jeans."

With a soft launch of four styles in January, Brolin is aiming to introduce her entire line this April. Manufactured in downtown Los Angeles with a team of 25 sewers, the denim brand sources its fabric from Italy, a region close to Brolin's heart because she studied at the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence. The importance of finding a responsibly sourced fabric produced sustainably was important during the research-and-development process for Midheaven.

"The factory is literally located in a national park, so they have a bunch of different guidelines that they have to follow in terms of waste management and all of their production tactics. They use cotton that is sourced from the Better Cotton Initiative," said Brolin, who is married to actor Josh Brolin.

While the brand will offer sizes 24 through 33, with inseams that measure 33, 34, 35, 36 and 38 inches, there is a conscientious effort to accommodate women who have tall but also curvy bodies. In addition to choosing a soft fabric that will stretch with the body, but not lose its shape, Brolin would like to plan a plus-size capsule collection in 2019.

"It’s so incredibly soft. The fabric stretches, but it also has amazing recovery, so women with hips and booties, they try these jeans on and they notice it will stretch with their curves," she said. "It’s a very giving fabric."

Even though Midheaven’s fabric is sourced in a town near Milan, Brolin wanted to keep production stateside in Los Angeles. It took her one year to find the perfect group of professionals, which led her to try working with different people in the industry, but never finding the perfect fit until piecing together her current team.

"As the owner of a small business, especially one that is just starting out, many factory owners - at least in this town - don’t want to work with you due to the minimal value and volume of the goods that you are producing,” Brolin explained.

Despite this challenge, she is extremely happy with the devoted production team that cares about manufacturing Midheaven’s designs to her exact specifications. As a town that has been central to the production of many successful premium denim labels, Los Angeles is a city with extraordinary resources for a new launch, but Brolin also looked beyond her own needs when choosing this city.

"It's much more expensive to produce in the states, I get that, but there are so many talented garment production workers in this city that it felt odd to take this job opportunity away from them in order to take it to another place where I might make more money," she said.

Taking the first steps into the niche category of manufacturing jeans for tall women is a venture that Brolin recognizes will attract a specific consumer, but that is the clientele she wants to reach during her launch.

"I envision Midheaven as a full, well-rounded brand, but what is most important to me is to grab that customer who is really interested in finding denim that is long enough for them because it has been something that I have been looking for my entire life," Brolin explained.

Though she envisions Midheaven evolving into a lifestyle brand that includes pieces that fall within the athletic and sleepwear categories, Brolin’s intentions for her growth are clear and rooted in becoming a trusted premium-denim resource.

"Because we are starting small, with the intention of growing organically, we don’t want to offer too many things at the start for fear that our brand would get diluted," she said. "We want to be known as a denim brand first and foremost."

Once Midheaven launches exclusively at www.midheavendenim.com, styles will range in price from $189 to $280 retail.

'I wanted to make that excluded girl feel included.'

By Lauren Rae Jun 5, 2017

'I felt there was a girl like me, who was always excluded and I wanted to make that excluded girl feel included,' says London-based stylist Irene Agbontaen.

Bored of the difficulties that came with finding clothes for women her height (she's 5'11"), she decided to create a line of her own that could fill in the gaps in her wardrobe. Called TTYA (Taller Than Your Average), the line addresses all your tall girl woes and screams, 'I'm tall and I'm fashion.'

'It's about being style conscious, not self conscious,' Agbontaen explained. And her ethos is taking off; ASOS, Selfridges and Barneys New York all stock the line, which includes Jourdan Dunn and Iman Hammam among its fans.

This month, she expands her line with a new 'I Do' collection, which focuses on occasion wear. So, what better time to catch up with the woman behind the brand than right now. She opens up to ELLE about her views on body and ethnic diversity in the fashion industry and how her little startup became a global hit.

Tell us a bit about your design background?

TTYA: I just got really frustrated with the current availability on the market for tall women. At the time I travelled a lot and I found it so annoying to just get the basics, so I made my own; maxi dresses, maxi skirts, leggings, all of the basic wardrobe staples I couldn't find. I didn't have any design background at the time, but I've done a couple of courses since and I'm still heavily influenced in the design process.

You were quite the big in the London nightlife scene - how has that helped you in your new career?

I used to work predominantly at a night called YOYO [You're Only Young Once] at the Notting Hill Arts Club. It was a night that broke through a lot of artists before they got signed and then it would turn into a party. It was a massive cultural impact on London because we broke everyone from Jessie J to Tinie Tempah. It was fashion, art, music and was just a really cool underground subculture. I was the door girl at the time, so everyone had to get through me to get in. I met a lot of influential people organically, who became good friends of mine.

You started in an e-commerce and styling background, could you tell us a little about that and your transition into design?

I used to work at ASOS and Selfridges. You know when you go for a job and they mention that the company has 'ideals', Selfridges ideal was 'every woman should be able to come to our store, that's our thing' and I'd say 'well I'm tall and I can't shop here' so your ideals don't really work for me. So it was like, well, there must a market for this kind of girl because I'm surrounded by tall girls all the time and I know things don't fit them. In real life we can't Photoshop jeans to fit us, so that's the premise of the transition.

What struggles have you faced when building the TTYA line up from the ground up?

At the start, I knew how to make things look good because of styling and working at ASOS. No one really tells you the most important thing is how you make yourself visible. I can make it all shiny and amazing and it can be the best brand on the planet, but if no one knows that it exists, it's pointless. For me the biggest learning curve was how to self promote. I took loads of classes on SEO and Digital Marketing to make sure everything was brand aligned.

Okay, so, who is your key demographic?

The go to label for all girls who want to feel inclusive. That's it!

What were the #TallGirlProblems you faced before curating the TTYA line?

Sleeve swingers were a no no!

Very few brands cater to taller women, do you feel that TTYA fills a gap in the market?

My brand is made by a tall woman, so I know first-hand your frustration. You're not coming to a boardroom of men talking about tall fashion. If you want to relate to tall girls, you've got to talk to girls like me and I think that's what my brand does. I'm tall, I'm one of you and I've started this brand so we no longer have to feel excluded.

The fashion world is far more accepting of different sizes in recent times, but do you think the industry still needs greater diversity?

I feel like it's moved on quite a lot, at one point 'Curve' was probably one of the biggest market shares. You only have to look at what Beth Ditto did for Evans. When you've had a customer that feels so neglected and left out for so long, once you cater to them they will keep coming back, because there's a place for them to go. It's like you're giving them a home to keep coming back to. I'm happy that it's gotten so much better now.

You're currently being sold on ASOS, in Selfridges and Barneys New York - where's your dream place to be stocked?

I'd like to have my own stand alone store one day, perhaps a concept store where I can do TTYA Talks and make it more of a home base. For me, it's about reaching as many girls around the world as possible. A place where people can connect, chill and have a cup of tea. More of a community base, that'd be my dream.

Your brand ethos stretches further than just the clothing - it sets out to encourage women.Tell us a bit about TTYA talks.

I started TTYA Talks back in 2013 and set it up as a space to open up my black book. I'm lucky enough to be indulged in a community of women that I really respect. So TTYA Talks focuses on industry and career specific topics and it provides direct access to successful women working across the creative industry. Each series has a specific topic. We did one focused on entertainment and lifestyle - I had everyone from FKA Twigs to Donna Rooney speak at it. I've set up a podcast now so that if you're unable to come to the talks, you can always listen back to the podcast.

One of your recent campaigns features the beautiful Naomi Shimada - does she pretty much embody the aesthetic of your brand?

100%, she's carefree, she's free spirited, she's an activist and she's a feminist - I love everything about her! She makes me look at myself and think 'who am I?', 'who do I channel?', 'what do I represent?'. I went back to Lagos over Christmas and reconnected with my roots.

I shot my lookbook there and found the whole team through social media: the models were all Nigerian based, hair, makeup and photography were all sourced from Nigeria. I'm really proud of that. It's based around weddings/guests at weddings and it'll be live on ASOS from May and in my ASOS Black collection (called 'I Do').

The reason I shot it in Lagos is because, in my culture, it's pretty wild when you're in your 30s and not married. So I thought it'd be a bit lols to be like: 'well I'm going to shoot this wedding collection and I'm not married. I'm going against the grain, but I'm [also] reconnecting with my culture'.

There seem to be so few black women designers leading major brands, what are your thoughts on this?

TTYA: I think it leads to communication. Being a pioneer, doing what I'm doing and pushing a brand as much as I can, opens the gateway for new generations. I feel like it's always about educating the next level down and by doing that you position yourself as a gatekeeper, so you can now open those channels for others. We've got women of colour in our corner who are opening those doorways and kicking down those barriers for us.

Visit the Taller Than Your Average website

By Helen Gibson - 19 February 2015
Deputy Picture Editor

Oh the trials and tribulations of being a tall girl. Not only do we have to bend to fit in to rush hour tubes, whisper to friends and kiss boys, but also, nothing fits. Well, nothing that’s in fashion anyway. After years of constantly buying clothes two sizes too big just for the length, I began to accept that I would forever live in baggy clothes. That was until TTYA was born.

TTYA stands for Taller Than Your Average, because it’s a clothing range made for women that are, well, taller than your average.

At 5’11”, founder Irene Agbontaen was frustrated with never being able to find wardrobe essentials for tall women, and as a successful stylist, she knew just what was missing from the market.

“I grew bored of rolling up sleeves or wearing boots to hide the fact my jeans were swinging at my ankles," she told me. "I started TTYA to empower tall women to feel style conscience not self-conscience.”

Megan Thee Stallion designing Fashion Nova jeans for tall women

By Melissa Minton - September 28, 2020 | 11:57am

Megan Thee Stallion is living up to her name.

The Houston native, 25, is teaming up with fast fashion brand Fashion Nova to give all the hot girls above a certain height a very special line of denim.

"Oh yeah and remember when I said I was collaborating with @fashionnova to make jeans for tall women," Meg posted on Instagram Sunday.

"These are the first samples coming soon."

The 5'10" "WAP" rapper posed in a pair of boot-cut ripped jeans with a dip-dyed color, darker below the knees than the light acid wash above.

Midheaven Denim

Tall women's jeans with up to 38 inch inseams

After spending years in the modeling industry, Kathryn Boyd Brolin recognized a niche of women who, like her, were troubled by the lack of inseams long enough to fit their lengthy frames. Her search was accompanied by many frustrated hours spent trying on pair after pair, looking for a brand worthy of a tall girl’s loyalty.

What came next was the birth of a sexy, high end, fashion line for ladies who need a brand made specifically with the longer than average length in mind. Midheaven Denim is a line of premium denim made from the best Italian fabric, cut and sewn by experienced artists in downtown Los Angeles with a focus on detail, comfort and specificity of fit. We cater to all sizes of the longest legged women out there, and the most important thing to us is to make the jean feel personal to each person who becomes an owner of them.

The term "Midheaven" means "middle of the sky," the highest point the sun achieves in its daily traverse around the Earth. The brand represents that as a FEELING, an initiative, to evoke the confidence to live life as your best and most fearless self; to reach for your own personal midheaven. We believe height is not just a physical state, but A STATE OF MIND, and our clothes should not hamper us, but assist us in bringing our physical and emotional states together in synonymy.

Midheaven Denim uses fabric produced in the world’s greenest and most sustainable denim mill, with valuable measures taken to reduce waste and promote environmentally-healthy production tactics. All of our packaging materials are ecoconscious and each step in bringing you our quality product is taken with the Earth’s health in mind.

In its endeavor to provide a beautiful product to fit the likes of those who find themselves somewhat outside of the average sizing scale, MIDHEAVEN strives to bring confidence back to those who have lost it in the dressing room. "Take Back Your Height" is MIDHEAVEN’s mantra and intention; its goal is to focus on the importance of feeling your best and truest, most confident self, and bringing those necessities to the forefront. Sometimes all it takes is a good pair of jeans.

Mosaic District Pop-Up 'Park Story' Looking for Permanent Home With Summer Closure Around the Corner

Vernon Miles March 7, 2019 at 2:15pm

As is the eventual fate of all pop-ups, locally owned boutique Park Story could be relocating from its Mosaic District home.

Owner Meghan Evans launched her own clothing line in August 2017 and opened the store in the Mosaic District in October 2018.

"I am hoping for a more permanent home that caters to local designers and independent caterers," said Evans. "Something permanent than a pop-up. I'm expecting to be here through July."

Evans said she's currently in discussions with the Mosaic District about trying to stay in that area, but either way, she hopes to remain somewhere in Northern Virginia.

Evans started her clothing line after being frustrated with the lack of selection for tall women. The Park Story boutique was designed to not only showcase her collection, but work from other local and independent creators. Evans said the store hosts everything from local lipstick to jewelry and art.

"People are surprised there's such quality on the local market," Evans said. "People don't expect to find us here. We're surrounded by bigger box stores, but we're local and independent."

Evans' clothing line is manufactured in D.C. She knows most of the other vendors at her store following years of building connections and seeking out brands that she believes are complementary to the shop aesthetic.

"We are clean and modern with a feminine touch," Evans said. "The shop has more of a minimalist feel: light, bright and airy."

Evans said she hopes to know by April whether or not the store will be moving so she can begin to let her customers know her plans.
