Plus-size retailer Lane Bryant partnered up with designer Lela Rose to create a capsule collection that will satisfy larger than a size two. This is the second high-fashion collaboration for the retailer, the first being a partnership with designer Isabel Toledo earlier this year.
This time around, Rose focused on her signature feminine silhouettes, vibrant color schemes and daring prints. Rose explained she wanted to incorporate several of her most identifying design techniques into this collection.
Plus-sized gals are treated to painterly shirts, gorgeous flare dresses and beautifully colored blouses (such as Rose's favorite, a lacy citrine-colored option). We sincerely hope that this trend of making stylish options available for bigger sizes and diverse body types will continue into the New Year!
