Umar Kamani, chief executive at PrettyLittleThing added: “This felt like a natural fit for us. Molly has been a huge part of our PrettyLittleThing journey and she is so invested in the brand.
“We wanted to explore different avenues together and bring her on board as more of a creative, where she can work closely with our team and be involved in our wider strategy across the UK and Europe over the next 12 months.”
The news drops alongside Hague’s first exclusively designed collection for PrettyLittleThing, which takes inspiration from the influencers off-duty style. The collection includes easy-to-wear separates and classic silhouettes, co-ords, sharp tailoring and wardrobe essentials like jeans, tops and swimwear.
“The collection cultivates her own style capturing those on-point ‘gram looks whilst continuing the #everyBODYinPLT ethos,” explains PrettyLittleThing.
Highlights include an olive statement suit with split hem trousers and an oversized blazer, oatmeal draped detail bodycon dress, and a sage green oversized blazer dress. Styles are available in UK sizes 4 – 30.
Hague’s appointment follows PrettyLittleThing naming American singer-songwriter and actress Teyana Taylor as creative director in a yearlong partnership last year. Taylor’s debut collection for the brand launched in January 2021 and was part of the company’s bid to boost its presence in the US.
