Tinashe x Urban Outfitters: Dance-Inspired Collection for Self-Expression

Tinashe, the multi-platinum-certified singer, songwriter, and dancer, is back on the radar, but this time she’s bringing more than just her musical talents to the table. In an exclusive partnership with Urban Outfitters, she’s diving into the world of fashion with a collection that merges her love for dance and style. With a history of pushing creative boundaries, Tinashe is now curating a unique line set to debut in 2025, designed to inspire individuality, movement, and self-expression.

A New Wave of Dance-Inspired Fashion

Urban Outfitters has always been at the forefront of innovative, youth-driven fashion. This collaboration with Tinashe takes it a step further, celebrating the intersection of dance culture and high fashion. It’s not just about creating clothes; it’s about crafting a movement. The collection, designed in partnership with Urban Outfitters’ in-house team, highlights Tinashe’s dynamic vision, translating the freedom and flair of dance into wearable art.

“Growing up in a dance studio teaches you a lot about how fashion and movement connect,” Tinashe shared. “Dancers have always had the best personal style in my opinion. Whether in ballet class or hip hop, the way dancers combine fashion and function is pure creativity. This collection is an extension of that creativity, made for anyone who values self-expression.”

Fashion Beyond the Studio Walls

Tinashe’s collaboration doesn’t just cater to dancers; it’s for all the “nasty girls” who own their individuality. The pieces are curated to reflect how dance and street style can transcend the studio and influence everyday life. Imagine clothing that is not only practical and comfortable but also embodies the dancer’s energy—flowing, yet structured; bold, yet wearable.

“I’ve always wanted to design apparel that moves with you, but goes beyond basic workout wear. Sports bras and leggings are cool, but this collection brings that creative, free dancer energy to the forefront,” Tinashe emphasized. “We’ve created specific pieces that you can dance in, but they’re also designed to make you feel more stylish and expressive.”

From dance floors to sidewalks, the collection is poised to be a statement of freedom, perfect for those who refuse to compromise comfort for style. It’s clear that Tinashe aims to redefine what it means to wear dance-inspired apparel, ensuring it resonates with the Gen Z audience, who values uniqueness and the freedom to express themselves.

Urban Outfitters: A Platform for Expression

Urban Outfitters has long been known as a brand that caters to the creative, the bold, and the unapologetically expressive. Their partnership with Tinashe aligns perfectly with their mission to fuel the next generation of individuality. According to Shea Jensen, President of Urban Outfitters, “Tinashe brings an unmatched energy and perspective that fits right into our ethos. This collaboration is about more than just clothes—it’s about empowering people to express who they truly are.”

Dmitri Siegel, Chief Brand, Creative, and Digital Officer at Urban Outfitters, echoed the sentiment. “We’re so excited to be working with Tinashe to create products and experiences that capture her unique blend of music, dance, TikTok culture, and fashion. This partnership will extend her creative vision in ways that deeply connect with her fans.”

Match My Freak: Engaging the Fans

The excitement doesn’t stop at the launch of the collection. Fans of Tinashe and Urban Outfitters have much to look forward to this fall, as Tinashe’s “Match My Freak World Tour” kicks off. Urban Outfitters will be rolling out a series of interactive opportunities, including surprise in-store visits and curated looks for concert attendees. Fans can also look out for exclusive giveaways, with the chance to score tickets through UO Rewards, the brand’s loyalty program.

This partnership brings an element of surprise, blending fashion and music in unexpected ways. From tour stops to exclusive UO drops, the collaboration is about connecting fans with Tinashe’s creative world. It’s not just about the clothes, but the experiences that come with them.

A Collaboration for All the Nasty Girls

Tinashe has long been an icon for embracing individuality, and this collaboration further solidifies her role as a tastemaker. By merging her love for dance with her bold, urban aesthetic, Tinashe is crafting a collection that resonates with those who don’t shy away from making a statement. It’s a collaboration designed for all the nasty girls who are unapologetically themselves, moving through life with confidence, swag, and a whole lot of style.

With the collection set to launch in 2025, this exclusive partnership will undoubtedly be a game-changer for both Urban Outfitters and Tinashe fans alike. Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting collaboration unfolds.
