Mike Branney and Claire Henderson founded Oh Polly on the principle of helping others. They wanted to fund a charity to stop poverty and utilized eBay to sell clothes to raise money. Down the line, they created their own fashion label, Oh Polly, and today they're known internationally for clothes that embrace girl's curves. It said to be designed "for girls, by girls." The brand specializes in tight dresses, corsets, and flattering bikinis.
OH POLLY
KNOWN FOR FORM-FITTING, STRIKING PIECES
SCANDALS/ETHICS
Oh Polly did have an issue in the past regarding inclusivity. While the brand was trying to highlight body positivity, they did so in a way where many people on Instagram took offense. After creating a separate account for plus-size girls and minority models, it seemed to discredit their initial efforts. Many took to saying how separating the accounts didn't help their cause. Nowadays, Oh Polly hasn't had a recent scandal and is dedicated to having female leadership in the workplace, gender equality, and allow for a flexible workplace environment.
