US plus size retailer Lane Bryant has announced an exclusive collection with blogger Tanesha Awasthi from the Girl With Curves, to mark the brand’s first-ever collaboration with a top fashion influencer.

Set to debut in Lane Bryant stores and on LaneBryant.com during New York Fashion Week on September 9, the Girl With Curves x Lane Bryant collection will feature “polished, feminine must-haves” according to the brand in a press statement.

The 20-piece collection will include an assortment of dresses, sportswear separates and outerwear designed to “favour curves” and will combine Lane Bryant modern femininity with Awasthi's “sophisticated-yet-approachable take on style,” which will be available in US sizes 12-28 with pricing from 34.95 to 149.95 US dollars.

Awasthi, who has more than 1 million blog subscribers and over 320,000 Instagram followers, has become known for her championing her unapologetic confidence by encouraging all women to look and feel amazing, regardless of size.

"As a long-time customer and friend of the brand, I was intrigued that the company was founded by a woman in 1904, paving the way for every girl with curves to have a place in fashion," said Awasthi in a press release. "Words can't express how excited and honoured I am to collaborate with a company as respected and iconic as Lane Bryant, and I can't wait for everyone to see the amazing collection we created.”

Awasthi added on her Instagram: "My personal goal was to design clothing you would look + feel amazing in, and each piece was designed to favor your curves (AND everything from dresses, skirts and even blouses have POCKETS!!”

Lane Bryant will introduce the Girl With Curves x Lane Bryant collection in New York City during fashion week with an exclusive pop-up shop located at 393 Broadway from September 9-10.
