PrettyLittleThing just broke the news of a huge collaboration between the world-famous supermodel Naomi Campbell and up-and-coming fashion designers Victor Anate and Edvin Thompson.
This incredible partnership blends together the elegance of Naomi’s fashion sense with the avant-garde creativity of Thompson and Anate.
This collaboration shows just one example of Campbell’s commitment to developing more opportunities for young, aspiring designers in the world of fashion. “Within my collection, it was important to recognize and include some of the amazing talent that’s out there,” said Campbell.
As Campbell has grown into a popular supermodel, she understands the power she holds to make serious changes in the industry. “I’m very intentional about using my platform to create opportunities for the next generation of creatives from around the world,” she added.
Victor Anate is a 20-year-old fashion designer from Nigeria who gains inspiration from literature, romance, and film. He believes these topics allow the wearer to explore and express through new realities. The young visionary has even built his own company, Vicnate, which was formed in 2019. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, Vicnate is a contemporary meditation on glamor and the transformative power of the right piece.
Edvin Thompson is also a successful designer with a strong background and skill set. His label, Theophilio, was established in 2016. It’s a ready-to-wear, contemporary clothing brand that focuses on community, culture, and diversity. The label even won the CFDA award for American Emerging Designer of The Year for 2021.
Located in Brooklyn, New York, Theophilio designs a variety of bold staples that showcase Jamaica’s dancehall culture and New York’s nonstop urban energy.
Naomi Campbell’s PrettyLittleThing collection debuts during New York Fashion Week on September 5, 2023. The collection includes an impressive 15 different looks, all being released in various colorways. This astonishing fashion experience will display Campbell’s glamor, innovation, and empowerment. While the best way to witness this incredible show is by attending in person, viewers can also tune in on YouTube.
PrettyLittleThing is ecstatic about this collaboration, which is a huge moment for the successful fashion company. According to Chris Parnell, Head of Design at PrettyLittleThing, “This collaboration with Naomi Campbell is a monumental moment for PrettyLittleThing. We are not just launching a new collection; we are making history with the most significant collaboration we’ve ever undertaken. We can’t wait to see our customers wearing these designs.”
This new collection features fun, playful designs that align with the upcoming holiday season. These clothes also project a sense of strength and confidence, which Campbell shows in her everyday life, both on and off the runway.
The upcoming show during New York Fashion Week will showcase Naomi’s tailored signature jumpsuit, bold sequin designs, dazzling outerwear, innovative chainmail dresses, hints of premium faux leather, and striking floor-length items. The exquisite collection has been styled with shoes and bags from PrettyLittleThing’s main range, providing a finished look for all wearers.
