The singer who has openly supported body positivity teased the collection on social media with multiple sneak peeks. In one photo, she stands alongside a row of models who have their backs to the camera and are all wearing the line’s high-waisted shapewear trousers. The label is “a love message to my huge girls” and “a welcome letter to everyone,” according to Lizzo. She made it clear that she does not want the statement to be interpreted as “an invitation to alter who you are…this is an opportunity to BE who you are on your terms.”

“I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of people telling me what I should look like and how I should feel about my body. I’m sick of sexy being associated with suffering.”

“REMOVE IT IF IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE. And if it makes you happy, wear it. @Yitty is more than simply shapewear; it’s an opportunity for you to reclaim your body and reinvent your beauty standards.”

The Grammy winner claimed she had worn shapewear since she was in middle school, which youngsters in the United States attend between the ages of ten and fourteen.

“I’ve always been a large girl,” she explained, noting that under her uniform she would wear girdles or Spanx. It was a horrifying event, and it was one of the factors that lead me to despise my body. So I just said f*ck it and quit wearing any shapewear.”

“Then I started getting back into it when I became a fashion lady.” However, she recounted noting that the shapewear lanes of all the stores she went were cluttered, with items strewn about and on the floor, leading her to believe that customers were having difficulty locating what they were searching for.

“I realized I could make my shapewear. Who’s going to manufacture anything for the people if I want a thong – because there isn’t any in my size – if I want a bandeau?”
