The plus-size fashion retailer is launching REBEL FOR TORRID, an exclusive capsule collection created with the actress, writer and comedian.The limited edition Holiday collection launches November, and will be sold in TORRID stores nationwide and worldwide on TORRID.com.


"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,” Wilson said. “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. 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!"
