Speaking on her first collaboration with PrettyLittleThing, Saweetie says;

“I’m super excited about my collaboration with PLT! PLT is rich in taste and quality which is why our brands blended so well! The theme of the capsule is a boujie rich girl enjoying the finer things in life. I want to show the boys and girls that if you hustle hard your work will pay off. I want to thank PLT for believing in me and standing behind my Saweetie brand. I’m giving my fans a taste of the lavish lifestyle in different moods from a fly tomboy to a boujie girly girl. Whatever mood you’re in I got you!”

Umar Kamani, CEO at PrettyLittleThing says;

“Following PLTs success on our celebrity collaborations so far this year, I am delighted to be working with Saweetie & Artistry Group CEO, Max Gousse on her first collection for PrettyLittleThing and, showcasing at New York Fashion Week for our first ever show this season. Saweetie has been a huge part of our design process, creating a range for her target audience as well as allowing us as a brand to blend a mix of culture and music which has been a big focus for us this year.”

To bring PrettyLittleThing to New York Fashion Week is a huge milestone for us and once again allows us to bridge the perception of fast fashion brands into the world of high end fashion and represent diversity and inclusivity. You can expect another spectacle at fashion week and we hope this will be the first of many seasons to come”
