TORRID, America's fastest growing plus-size fashion brand, is pleased to announce REBEL FOR TORRID, an exclusive capsule collection created with the actress, writer and comedian. The limited edition Holiday collection launches November 2015, and will be sold in TORRID stores nationwide and worldwide on TORRID.com.

Wilson is well known for her roles in films such as Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect 1 & 2, and Night at the Museum 3. Wilson is a fan of Torrid's sexy, edgy fashion, making the collaboration a perfect fit.

Rebel explains, "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. 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!"

Lisa Harper, Torrid CEO says, "We are excited about this partnership with Rebel. She represents everything that Torrid is: young, fun, fearless. She has a strong point of view and inspires girls around the world to wear what they love, no apologies."

According to Liz Munoz, Torrid SVP of Design, who worked with Wilson on the collection, "Rebel's got a natural instinct for design. She's been totally hands-on throughout the process. She cares about every detail, down to the diamante rivet on the jeans. We love the results… she crushed it."

Wilson's personal touch is all over the collection. A koala-print tee reflects her Australian background; microphone-shaped hardware and charms speak to her life performing on stage. Creating pieces her fans would love was of utmost importance.

The REBEL FOR TORRID collection features approximately 25 pieces that range in price from $28.50–$125.00, including tops, bottoms, jackets, dresses and accessories. A Spring 2016 collection is in the works as well.

REBEL FOR TORRID reflects the brand's continued focus on celebrating and empowering women who wear sizes 12 to 28 with fashion that makes them feel confident and stylish.
