Longtime lifestyle vlogger Alisha Marie McDonal, who has been on YouTube since 2008, is foraying further into fashion entrepreneurship with the launch of a new clothing line called Parallel Apparel.
Billed as a unisex, size-inclusive, and ethically-made brand fusing activewear and loungewear, the collection was co-created by McDonal and her older sister, fellow creator Ashley Nicole, with the first collection dropping today. Parallel ranges in price from $35 to $105 and in size from XS to 3XL, with all items manufactured in Los Angeles. The brand’s tagline is #SexyAsIs.
The name Parallel is a nod to the sisters’ dissimilar yet complementary styles, and is available exclusively on its proprietary website today beginning at 3 pm ET. Items include sweatpants, sweatshirts, bodysuits, bralettes, T-shirts, leggings, and more.
