Upon the glimmering horizon of New York Fashion Week, PrettyLittleThing has announced a show-stopping collaboration, one that marries international supermodel Naomi Campbell‘s timeless elegance with the avant-garde brilliance of rising designers Victor Anate and Edvin Thompson.
Naomi Campbell, the face and heart of countless global brands, lends her fervor for nurturing budding talent, elucidating, “This collaboration is an extension of my commitment to creating and promoting opportunities for emerging young designers.” Her dedication manifests through the fabrics, styles, and silhouettes of the exclusive collection. She adds, “Recognizing and including some of the incredible talents that exist was paramount. I’m determined to utilize my platform to pave opportunities for the next wave of worldwide creatives.”
True to her words, Campbell brought Victor Anate into the spotlight. Hailing from Nigeria, this 20-year-old prodigy, with inspirations rooted in romance, literature, and cinema, founded Vicnate in 2019. Nestled in Lagos, his brand captures the transformative power of the right attire. For this capsule, Victor amalgamated his finesse with the design mavericks at PrettyLittleThing, crafting a sculpted, cut-out design – an immortal piece echoing holiday spirit.
On the other hand, Brooklyn-based Edvin Thompson, the genius behind Theophilio (established in 2016), celebrates culture, community, and diversity. Garnering accolades such as the 2021 CFDA Emerging American Designer award, Thompson’s designs are imbued with the pulsating energy of New York, juxtaposed with Jamaican dancehall vibes. For this venture, he bestowed an exquisite off-white satin dress upon the collection.
Slated for a September 5th, 2023 release, Naomi Campbell’s fifteen outstanding designs for PrettyLittleThing promise a chromatic spectacle. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s a melange of innovation, glamour, and empowerment. As the electrifying runway unfurls, viewers across the globe can immerse in the experience live on YouTube.
Chris Parnell, PrettyLittleThing’s design head, exclaims, “This alliance with Naomi Campbell isn’t just a collection launch; it’s history in the making. Our most monumental collaboration to date!” With expectations soaring, Parnell anticipates, “I’m eager to witness our clientele adorning these creations.”
Prepare for a fashion feast where Naomi’s iconic jumpsuits, glitzy designs, outerwear statements, reimagined chainmail dresses, luxe faux leather touches, and dramatically elongated pieces dominate. Velvet-clad cocktail dresses, shimmering sequins, crystal adornments, and oversized jackets make powerful statements. And what’s more, the collection complements the flagship shoe and bag lineup of PrettyLittleThing, ensuring a holistic look.
