Rebel Wilson is collaborating with US based clothing company Torrid for a new plus-sized clothing collection. ‘Rebel for Torrid’ will hit stores in November this year and will feature 25 pieces for the holiday season. Commenting on working with the brand, Rebel says that she has always struggled to find a clothing brand she loves with pieces available in her size that also make something to represent her personality, and she thinks her designs for Torrid will be a great balance of everything she’s always looked for. She explained:
“I’ve had a ‘torrid’ affair with buying clothes all my life. I’ve never really felt like there’s a brand out there in the plus-size world that is creating cool stuff, that fits well and is good quality yet affordable. So it was awesome to team with Torrid, who I think are doing such a great job in making plus-size fashion relevant and dope.”
Liz Munoz, Torrid SVP of Design, has explained that the comedian and actress had a natural design ability and cared about every little detail that went into the new collection. She adds that the whole company love the results and are very excited for the launch at the end of the year:
“Rebel’s got a natural instinct for design. She’s been totally hands-on throughout the process. She cares about every detail, down to the diamante rivet on the jeans. We love the results… she crushed it.”
The collection isn’t Rebel’s first time designing – she previously create a collection of plus-sized pieces for Fat Mandi in 2013.
