“Many fat-bodied people have never had the luxury of walking into any store they like, feeling welcome and finding clothes that fit straight off the rack.”
What led you to create SÜK Workwear?
I grew up a tomboy on farms and cattle stations, and I was very attracted to hard work and the classic cowboy aesthetic. As I got older and started work, I was drawn to intensive labour environments, which I always really enjoyed and thrived in. I spent my twenties working on building sites, farms and long-haul ships. When I developed breasts and thighs, wider hips and a softer bum, I found it really hard to find work gear that held my body and made me feel as tough and professional as I knew I was.
