Luxury British womenswear label KJINSEN has today relaunched with an 11-piece \u2018Debut Collection\u2019 specifically designed for customers under 5ft 4\u201d, which it says is \u201ca customer vastly underserved by current fashion industry standardisations\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The premium capsule line offers tailored pieces in sustainable luxury fabrics designed by KJINSEN Founder and Creative Director Liza Belmonte, who is 5ft herself and knows the limitations of existing customer offerings, despite over 50% of the world\u2019s female population measuring under 5ft 3\u201d.<\/p>\n

KJINSEN was\u00a0originally launched in 2021 as a \u201cstraight sized\u201d brand with a desire to create womenswear that showcased British craftsmanship through the use of luxurious natural fabrics. But Belmonte felt very limited by the sizing implications of the existing development process, and the \u201ccookie cutter\u201d approach the fashion industry took to creating womenswear.<\/p>\n

After the launch of the first iteration of KJINSEN as a straight-sized brand, Belmonte found herself faced with a situation where she had created her \u201cdream wardrobe\u201d but could not wear it herself because it didn\u2019t fit her. She then made the decision that she was going to pivot the business and, staying true to the sustainable credentials and approach to craftsmanship, dedicate KJINSEN to catering exclusively to the shopper that is 5ft 4\u201d and under.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
