Gwyneth Paltrow Invests in Plus Size Line

According to Fast Company, there's a new brand in town and they're making the big bucks thanks to people like Gwyneth and Toms. 

Universal Standard launched last year with a line of sleek, stylish outfits for women sizes 10 to 28, and an exchange policy called “Universal Fit Liberty” that allows customers to trade in different-size clothes as their bodies change. Its design and strategy recently earned it a spot on Fast Company‘s Most Innovative Companies list in the style category. The brand just landed a $7 million round of Series A funding from a range of institutional investors, plus people like Gwyneth Paltrow, and the founders of Toms, SoulCycle, and Sweetgreen.
