Rebdolls is a fashion-forward Latinx-owned brand that champions inclusivity by offering a wide selection of sizing options. The brand was launched in 2014 by founder Grisela Paula after she struggled to find clothing that accommodated her straddling the line between a large and a 1x. Paula also recognized the lack of modern, trendy styles that went past a large and created Rebdolls. The company is minority and female-owned.

Rebdoll’s latest collection taps Denise Mercedes, another Latinx, [body-positive influencer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nara-smith-2) who wants to raise awareness about [size inclusivity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life). Denise Mercedes’ Rebdolls collection puts florals at the forefront, depicting Mercedes in a blooming field with bouquets in the campaign images. The dresses embody the aesthetics of spring, featuring [keyhole bodycon dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-by-miraclesuit), airy buttoned midi dresses, and corset-style floral tops.
