In an industry that too often designs for the average, Above The Crowd is raising the bar, and the inseam. Founded by Laurice Lockhart Sosa and Charlene Johnson, this visionary lifestyle brand celebrates height, confidence, and individuality through elevated, tall-inclusive fashion made to fit, flatter, and empower.

The mission is simple but bold: create clothing that embraces height instead of hiding it. Every design, from plush unisex robes to tailored sweatsuits and sleek accessories is made to remind tall women that their stature is not a challenge, but a gift.

“We started Above The Crowd out of necessity and love,” says CEO Laurice Lockhart Sosa. “After years of struggling to find stylish, well-fitting clothes as tall women, we decided to create the solutions we and so many others have long needed.”

Her co-founder, Charlene Johnson, adds:

“We don’t just add extra inches. We design from the ground up with tall bodies in mind. It’s about proportion, confidence, and giving women clothing that truly meets them where they stand.”

The Statement Piece: Plush Robes That Redefine Comfort

If luxury had a feeling, it would be Above The Crowd’s signature plush robe soft, sophisticated, and unisex by design. Made for lounging or layering, the robe effortlessly blends comfort and couture with a fit that flatters every frame. It’s more than just loungewear; it’s an experience in self-love.

With extended sleeves, thoughtful tailoring, and a belt that cinches to perfection, this robe proves that tall-inclusive design doesn’t stop at denim or dresses. It’s everyday luxury, reimagined for people who know that confidence is the best accessory of all.

Brand Built on Confidence and Community

Above The Crowd has built a loyal following by merging comfort with empowerment. Their message is clear: own your height, own your power. Every collection, from their Stand Above The Crowd hoodies to the Taller Than Your Daddy duffle bags, carries an attitude of pride, style, and unapologetic presence.

The brand’s voice resonates with women 5’9” and up who are done compromising on fit or fashion. Whether it’s extended inseams, elongated sleeves, or proportioned silhouettes, Above The Crowd ensures that tall bodies are not just included but celebrated.

“Height is not a challenge to hide,” says Laurice. “It’s a gift to celebrate. We want tall women everywhere to feel seen, styled, and unstoppable.”

As Above The Crowd continues to grow, their focus remains on inclusion and innovation. Each new collection pushes boundaries in design and comfort, from tall-fitted leggings and hoodies to plush lounge sets that transition seamlessly from day to night.

The founders’ commitment goes beyond fashion. They are building a community rooted in empowerment, visibility, and self-acceptance. Above The Crowd is not just about what you wear, it’s about how you walk into every space knowing you were made to stand out.
