# Plus-Size Designer Collaborations Lane Bryant's Lela Rose Collection Features Summery Options By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-12-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lane-bryant References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/lela-rose-lane-bryant-collaboration?utm_medium=rss) & [lanebryant](http://www.lanebryant.com/?mcid=AFF&sid=AFFLBxTnL5HPStwNw&siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-tQOGGOD7KlDvL7c8EGwWVg) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bach-mai) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace)). We sincerely hope that this trend of making stylish options available for bigger sizes and diverse body types will continue into the New Year! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stylish Plus-size Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with high-end designers to create fashionable and trendy clothing options for plus-size individuals. - **Designer-plus Retail Partnerships:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Form collaborations between designers and plus-size retailers to expand product offerings and cater to a wider range of customers. - **Inclusive Fashion Collections:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop collections that prioritize inclusivity by offering diverse sizes and body types a wide range of fashionable choices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the growing demand for plus-size fashion by offering a variety of stylish options for larger sizes. - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with plus-size retailers to design collections that combine high-fashion aesthetics with inclusivity. - **Body Positivity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Support the body positivity movement by creating clothing lines that celebrate diverse body types and sizes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantic Size-Inclusive Intimates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gabi-gregg.md) - [Inclusive Bridal Gown Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-kissed-collection.md) - [Modern Occasion-Focused Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-plus-one-edit.md) - [Size-Inclusive Shirt Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curve-by-the-shirt-company.md) - [Affordable Designer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-navy-x-anna.md) - [Inclusive Denim Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md) - [Print-Forward Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection.md) - [Inclusive Lace Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace.md)
