Visionary stylist Carla Welch says the perfect under・50 dollar white T-shirt exists

Powerhouse Celebrity stylist Carla Welch dresses both Beavers: Justin in a boxy Balenciaga suitable for the Grammy Awards and Haley in a Saint Laurent dress for the Met Gala. With Sarah Paulson in Valentino Haute Couture, Olivia Wilde in Gucci gowns and Tracey Ellis Ross in Bottega Veneta, she still has a warm look after her debut on the runway in Milan just a few days ago. In all these experiences, and in her decades working with heritage fashion houses and megawatt stars to create the greatest red carpet moment of all time, Welch's proudest fashion effort is a白48 white t-shirt.

In partnership with philanthropic essentials brand Michael Stars, Welch has released the Karla Tee, a simple short-sleeved crew neck. 10% of the profits go to the Period Rich Foundation, an organization co-founded by Welch to end world period poverty.

"The humble white t-shirt is much more iconic than any red carpet look," she said in a video call, and the semi-fitted Kara T-shirt, made of 100% brushed cotton, is "perfect.""The stylist certainly knows what the perfection of white tea looks like, given that she has spent about eight years in pursuit of it.

"The origin story of me and the white t-shirts is that they needed them for Justin [Bieber, Welch has been working together since 2011]. When I couldn't find the right one, I realized I could make them.So Welch cut a bunch of XL Hanes tees and Frankensteined back together using her own pattern. The end result (Bieber wore through his 2016 purpose tour) was that Welch launched a joint line, X Karla, and later teamed up directly with Hanes Seven-piece Sha

Now Welch has once again transformed the basics of the age-old wardrobe through her Michael Stars collaboration. It is repeated to. But it's the charitable cause that pleases her the most: "I actually feel like everything I've done in my career is getting me at this moment and this is the job that I'm meant to be doing." [Styling] has given me a platform and people that can amplify the messages I want to send," she says. "A lot of my clients are very, very excited to get their [Carla] T-shirts for a very good cause."

Marie Claire's chat with Welch is mainly focused on her newly launched, typical classic white tee, but the stylist also touched on a genius bit of advice from her illustrious career, Justin Bieber himself, and how being a "crazy Virgo" gave her a chance for more. Give killer eyes.

Valuable fashion Lesson: I probably learned the most from Justin because he is just fearless. He reminds me not to bother, and that fashion is fun. You put on your clothes and tomorrow is a fresh day. Monday attire does not matter on Tuesdays.

The willingness to express what you want to do and say, "Oh, someone who cares if there's anything to say about it," has learned a lot from Justin. How do you feel about yourself [that's important] because other people's preferences are subjective. It's literally just clothes. A critic is a person who knows the road but does not know how to drive a car. I'd rather drive a car.

Find the identity of fashion: If people do not know what their style is, look at other people, be inspired, repeat a little, but [style] is not so valuable. Shop your closet and have fun. Put a little energy into it. We are often afraid to put energy into fashion, but it is fun to plan your looks. It is also a form of self-care. And if there are days when you want to wear your sweatpants, go for it. Just put a nice trench on top.

Celebrity stylist Role: As a stylist, you're still working, so it's an interesting balance. You are still a waiting woman, compressing the dress. But I see every client as a partnership. What can I bring to the table' If it means bringing a deal to the table, then I am entitled to a part of it. [Stylist] has been a power broker for many, many years. My relationship with the fashion house is probably bigger and more important than the relationship between agents and managers. [Being a celebrity stylist now] is much more organic and community-based and exciting.

Addressing Period Poverty: About 1.8 billion people are menstruating each month, and about 26% of the world's population is menstruating. This means that about 800 million people are menstruating at any given time. There is not much we can agree with — especially in the current United States — but we can agree that no one should go without a period product and the statistics on period poverty are shocking: 4 in 1 person in the United States and the world go without a product.

If someone can't wrap their head around it, if one day you didn't have tampons, cups, sanitary underwear, or pads, personally think about what happens to your heaviest day and have to go through it every month, five days of the month. What happens to your life? What happens to your dignity' It's not an unintended pun, but it's an ongoing cycle of monthly fear that holds you back. You lose autonomy over your body. It is a system designed to suppress women and girls. Our mission of a company on a period-rich basis and a period-rich is to change it. The baseline we give to someone is the dignity to take care of their body. But we know more than that.Economic status at home and in the community will increase, women will be able to feed their families, and girls will stay in school longer in the care of an accessible period.

And do something about it: Our main focus is to ensure that people are cared for. Many organizations deal with stigma, which is a huge and important thing to talk about. But if we're not actually offering products to people who need them, I think it's a joke. Like, 'Oh, let's talk about the stigma of your period, but you can go month-by-month without the product.'"There is no better word, so it's time to stop talking and walk. We are operating on many, many different levels, but the main thing we operate on is impact and purpose.

About making a difference: You fight the gray and melancholy of [the world] by serving your community. That's really the point of our conversation: it doesn't matter what you wear. We are talking about periods and how to be creative and influence change. If you want someone not to feel pessimistic, be activated in your community and watch, learn and listen to your own skill set. Show your influence by getting involved.

[Collection] I have been tied to all social justice causes that have gone through my career, from gun safety to the poverty of the period to the problems of black living. It's my way of amplifying and funding meaningful influences while bending my creativity and artistic [vision] of what I want to see in the world. I'm not perfect. I don't have [all] talking points. I say "like" many times. But I'm involved.
