Rebel Wilson to design plus-size collection

London - Actress and comedian Rebel Wilson, best known for her roles in films such as Bridesmaid and Pitch Perfect, is collaborating with American plus-size fashion brand Torrid on an exclusive capsule collection.

Entitled, Rebel for Torrid, the capsule limited edition holiday line of affordable, stylish, plus-size looks, will launch in November, and will feature Wilson’s personal touches throughout including a koala-print tee reflecting her Australian background and microphone-shaped hardware and charms speaking to her life performing on stage.

"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,” explains Wilson. “It's really only been in the last few years that I've seen companies try. 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.”

The Rebel for Torrid holiday range will be exclusive to Torrid stores across America and worldwide via Torrid.com, and will be followed up by a spring/summer 2016 collection due out next year.

Wilson added: “I've been loving designing the clothes for my capsule collection. I've been putting my unique style and personal loves into the clothing and literally can't wait for the collection to launch."

Wilson worked with Torrid’s SVP of design, Liz Munoz on the collaboration, who stated that the actress has a “natural instinct” for design, and that she was very “hands-on throughout the process”.

Lisa Harper, Torrid CEO commented: "We are excited about this partnership with Rebel. She represents everything that Torrid is: young, fun, fearless. She has a strong point of view and inspires girls around the world to wear what they love, no apologies."
