One of the standout pieces from the collection was the Sample Size T, worn here by Sonny Turner. Designers make sample sizes, which usually range from a size zero to four, for models to wear in campaigns and on the runway. Becca McCharen-Train, founder of Chromat, told As/Is, "Sample sizing tends to be an excuse that other designers cite as a reason why they don't feature a range of sizes in their runway shows. At Chromat, we know that the designer has the power to choose what size they prototype their collection in."

Turner told As/Is, "Sample sizes are the easiest way to exclude plus size girls from shows. It's important that bigger bodies are represented on the runway so younger girls feel more confident in their bodies."
The Sample Size T is $60 and available in sizes X-small to 3XL. (Turner is modeling a size medium.)
