Tinashe and Urban Outfitters are partnering up for a dance-inspired collection set to be released next year, the brand announced on Friday (Oct. 18).
The collection celebrates dance as a “universal language and a form of self-expression for everyone,” according to a news release sent to Billboard. Tinashe co-designed and developed the collection alongside Urban Outfitter’s in-house design team.
“Growing up in a dance studio teaches you a lot about the intersection between exercise and fashion,” the singer explained in a statement, per Women’s Wear Daily. “I was always inspired by the way dancers would create their own outfits, whether it was in ballet class pairing shorts and legwarmers or hip-hop class where personal style is paramount.”
The statement continues, “I’ve always wanted to bring that creative and free dancer energy to apparel. I’m excited to finally bring this idea to life by designing specific items that you can move in and feel more creative than sports bras and leggings.”
In addition to honoring dance as a universal language, the collection celebrates Tinashe’s decade-long relationship with Urban Outfitters. The “Nasty” singer closed out Urban Outfitters’ UO Live Campus series in Tucson, Arizona last month. “I love Urban Outfitters because I feel like they just really support my individuality, and I love the fact that I can continuously evolve who I am with Urban Outfitters,” she told Billboard at the time. “They have just so many different aesthetics that you can lean into and different things that you can play with, and I just love that.”
Earlier this week, the “Nasty” singer launched her Match My Freak World Tour in Anaheim, Calif. The tour heads to Phoenix on Oct. 20 before rolling through Texas making stops in Dallas, Austin and Houston starting on Oct. 22.
Tinashe’s collection with Urban Outfitters will be released in 2025. In the meantime, fans can shop her Urban Outfitters fashion picks here.
