[PrettyLittleThing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-la-anthony) recently joined forces with Australian Model La'Tecia Thomas on the next Second Skin collection. La'Tecia is a model, makeup artist, and body-positive activist. She worked in conjunction with PrettyLittleThing to create a
20-piece collection that pays homage to women wanting to feel confident in their own skin. The series includes form-fitting dresses, figure-flattering skirts, complimentary tops, and more. These stunning pieces are available in mauve hues, rich cholates, and sand shades.

Speaking on her edit, La'Tecia said: "I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to create my very own collection with [Pretty Little Thing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-girl-parlour). It was our intention to create pieces that can be worn by anyone and everyone that will make you feel confident and comfortable in your skin. I really feel as though we achieved exactly that with this collection and I'm super excited to see how each piece is uniquely worn! I hope you love my [PLT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-muse) collection, and it makes you feel like the best version of yourself!"
