Lena Dunham launches a plus-size fashion collection with 11 Honoré

The actor, director and writer said she was inspired by her neighborhood growing up and the "freedom of style, of the mind" it evoked.

Throughout her career, 34-year-old writer and director Lena Dunham has cast herself as relatable characters for the millennial emerging into adulthood. From her role in the 2010 film "Tiny Furniture" to playing Hannah Horvath in her semi-autobiographical HBO series "Girls." Now, Dunham is once again mining her experiences growing up in an artistic New York City family and (perhaps most importantly in this case) her relationship with her body into something people can enjoy: a fashion line.

Dunham collaborated with Patrick Herning's 11 Honoré, a plus-size fashion retailer that offers runway-worthy designs for sizes other than twos, fours and sixes. Dunham's line of five versatile pieces come in sizes 12 through 26 is the brand's first celebrity partnership. She worked with Honore 11's core designer, Danielle Eke.

"I’ve wanted to create a plus-size collection ever since I settled into my adult (post-20s post-hysterectomy body) and started to really feel the gaps in the market. The main way I shop is through 11 Honoré because they make it possible to get the items I fantasize about from designers who don’t historically make plus size, and they’ve created a really powerful community for plus women," Dunham said in a statement given to TMRW.

The pieces, which range from $98 for a white mock neck tank top to $298 for a double-breasted, pinstriped blazer with a scalloped hem, target women with fuller bodies who, like Dunham, admire designer pieces but are sick of — as the actor put it — constantly adjusting and pulling down clothes fashioned for a skinnier body type.
