"Lane Bryant is making bold changes in the fashion industry and it is exciting to partner with the brand on the re-launch of 6th & Lane on this collection. My own design philosophy has always been about celebrating women and creating clothing that embraces individual style," said Tess Giberson. "This is an opportunity to work with a company that speaks to these values and is able to reach so many women. The new 6th & Lane is inspired by the spirit of the woman wearing it. She knows her style, celebrates her individuality, and deserves to have cool pieces that she can wear how she wants."
