I laughed, I learned, and I got to hang in the closet of one of my favorite people!
On this episode of Walk In, I’m sitting down with the force of nature that is Lauren Chan (@laurenchan). From making history as the first queer, plus-sized model on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, to founding her own luxury brand Henning, Lauren is a true trailblazer. She is as absolutely stunning inside as she is out.

Lauren is a phenomenal example of what it looks like to create and drive meaningful change across multiple industries. Her career is a masterclass in creative entrepreneurship and advocacy.
Beyond being hilarious, courageous and brilliant, her ground breaking resume speaks for itself. In addition to being the first queer, plus sized model in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and on the cover, the 2023 Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards Model of the Year, the Founder & CEO of Henning; a luxury plus size workwear line, a former Fashion Features Editor at Glamour and contributing author at Vogue and Interview…
Her advocacy for size diversity and representation for all bodies and the LGBTQIA+ community has truly shifted the industry, and her career spans so much more than I could ever list here.
Spending the day in Lauren’s space and learning from her journey was an absolute privilege. I hope this conversation inspires you as much as it did me.
