Lena Dunham is back with a new project. The actor-writer-director-controversy creator now has a plus-size clothing line.
“The online plus community was really healing for me, after so many years of having my body dissected on television and talked about and treated like it was either a revelation or a problem,”
This week 11 Honoré x Lena Dunham debuts, a collaboration between Dunham and the e-tail site that has championed high fashion for plus-size women, getting runway designers to make their brands accessible beyond Size 10. It will be 11 Honoré’s first celebrity foray, and it is a tightly edited collection of only five items.
After years of having a complicated and very public relationship with her body, Dunham, 34, said she has come to terms with it.
“It doesn’t mean I haven’t felt a lot of body hatred in lockdown.”
She is not a fan of some current terminology, of words like “plus” or “curve” or “body positive.”
“The thing that’s complicated about the body positive movement, is it can be for the privileged few who have a body that looks the way people want to feel positive. We want curvy bodies that look like Kim Kardashian has been up-sized slightly. We want big beautiful butts and big beautiful breasts and no cellulite and faces that look like you could smack them on to thin women.”
