Actress Danielle Brooks can add a new title to her resume as a designer! On Instagram today, the Orange Is the New Black star announced that she’s collaborating with Universal Standard to design their new Tria Collection.  

📣THE DAY HAS COME📣I’m designing @universalstandard's new Tria Collection! Beyond excited about this collaboration with this amazing brand! You'll soon be able to shop this look and a few others. Can't wait to show you more. For now, stay tuned! If you don’t already follow them on IG - do! #USxDB #Tria4US #nowyoucan #voiceofthecurves Check out link in bio. 💋

A post shared by Danielle Brooks (@daniebb3) on Sep 12, 2017 at 10:00am PDT

On her first collaboration with a fashion brand, Brooks made the following statement: “Universal Standard is a brand that should go in a category by itself, because they truly are one of a kind. What makes them unique is that they are pushing the 67% to be a part of the whole. Because of that, I am grateful to be partnering with Universal Standard, making classic, timeless pieces that every woman wants and should own.”  

This size-inclusive collection is a natural fit for Brooks who is not only plus size herself, but also an advocate for plus size women. It’s also a win for curvy girls who often complain about the lack of stylish options available in larger sizes.  

Universal Standard, which is a direct-to-consumer brand for women size 10-28, will release the three-piece collection designed by Brooks in November.

The collection will consist of the off-the-shoulder sweater dress modeled by Brooks, a poplin shirt dress and overalls, and will all retail for under $200 on universalstandard.net.
