Ask any plus size woman who lives in a colder climate about the hardest items to shop for and chances are that wide calf boots falls at the top of the list. Finding a boot thatโ€™s functional is hard but finding a wide calf boot thatโ€™s fashionable is damn near impossible. Plus size model Laโ€™Shaunae Steward, 21, ย is working on changing that. On June 17, she dropped a size inclusive capsule collection with powerhouse shoe brand, Jeffrey Campbell, featuring two wide-fitting sandals and three wide-calf boots.

Laโ€™Shaunae X Jeffrey Campbell Gives Us Shoe Life!

Laโ€™Shaunae has been a fixture in the plus size fashion realm for some years. She made headlines in 2017 when model Reece King stood up to a fat shaming tweet about her style. Her popular Instagram account, @luhshawnay is followed by 72,000+ and growing. She started posting her looks online after high school and she says she received a lot of positive feedback from folks wanting to see a model that looked like her in high fashion. Although sheโ€™s not (yet) signed to an agency, Laโ€™Shaunae has modeled for a number of brands. She also walked for Whatever 21 at New York Fashion Week SS2018.

That very moment was when I was like โ€˜Hey, what if I just show the world what theyโ€™ve been missing?,โ€™โ€ Laโ€™Shaunae says of that experience. โ€œI think I started trying 10000% harder after I realized I was the only model walking that day who was not only 5โ€™3โ€, but bigger than a size 18. I was so nervous and I felt like I could do anything in life after walking down a runway while hundreds of people watched.

The Collaboration

By collaborating with Jeffrey Campbell, it seems like Laโ€™Shaunae has once again tackled the impossible. Laโ€™Shaunae had emailed the brand to collaborate but says her friend Sanam Sindh, Jeffrey Campbellโ€™s Creative Director, played an important role in making the collection come together. On her Instagram, Sanam says she asked if she could bring Laโ€™Shaunae to LA to create a collection that fit plus size woman.

She writes,

โ€ฆ if we [Jeffrey Campbell] claim to be accessible and for everyone then we have to MEAN IT!

The Process

Laโ€™Shaunae says once in LA, they did a fitting with her measurements. The sandals and boots from the collection are available in sizes 7W to 12W and the boots fit up to a 27โ€ inch thigh circumference. Although the collection only features five styles, they cover a variety of styles including everything from yellow thigh high stiletto heeled boots to heart-shaped heel sandals. Laโ€™Shaunaeโ€™s collection is fashion-forward and exactly whatโ€™s been missing in existing wide-calf and wide-width options.

Y'all. We have a lot of designer collab wishes and the La'Shaunae x Jeffrey Campbell is right up there in the top! We are so excited about this!

In my opinion, plus size clothing and wide fit boots and heels are ALWAYS ugly.ย I always struggle into shoes not made for wide feet and literally kill my feet just to get a photo for Instagram. We need cute options like, stop giving bigger people ugly options because just because weโ€™re bigger doesnโ€™t mean we have to look and dress like a 60-year-old in our 20โ€™s and 30โ€™s.

A little louder for the people in the back!

Select styles are already close to selling out and although Laโ€™Shaunae doesnโ€™t know yet if she will do another collection with Jeffrey Campbell, this seems like a good indication that plus size shoe collections will sell! Since so many young girls are looking for ways to be a plus size model, I posed the question to Laโ€™Shaunae about what aspiring models need to know. Her response really says it all about the significance of her contributions:

Itโ€™s really damn hard to stay positive. Itโ€™s really hard to keep going too when you start to get those rejection emails over and over. But once you finally get to the top it will be worth it. I will open this door up for us. If youโ€™re shorter than 5โ€™8, and if youโ€™re bigger than those size requirements they put on model submissions, you are good enough and Iโ€™m going to prove it.

Sheโ€™s certainly proving to be an inspiration in the plus size community so keep on keepin on Laโ€™Shaunae!

Are you guys loving what youโ€™re seeing so far from the collection? Three pairs of wide calf bootsโ€“which ones do you see you sashaying in this fall?

Donโ€™t forget to check out Laโ€™Shaunae x Jeffrey Campbell before it sells out!
