Lane Bryant To Collaborate With Sophie Theallet On ‘Risque’ New Lingerie Line

There’s another new victory in the world of plus-size clothing. Lane Bryant announced Tuesday morning that they are collaborating on a new line of lingerie with fashion designer Sophie Theallet, Women’s Wear Daily reports.

The retailer is a leading name in the plus-size industry, and has made continual strides to change their image to a younger, trendier and, now, more risque look since launching their first designer collaboration last year. The decision comes from the company’s effort to make their clients feel like they have just as much of a right as anyone else to look and feel sexy:

We want to bring something special to our clients, and show that she doesn’t have to be excluded from what many women enjoy. Beautiful clothing should not be limited to size 12 and under.

Theallet, a French designer who got her start working for Jean-Paul Gaultier and has been known to dress clients like Michelle Obama, often recreates her designs at lower price points for stores like the Limited, as well as the Gap. Her experience creating goods at a more affordable price point makes her an ideal choice for this collaboration.

The line debuts this fall, and will be available in sizes 14-28.

Amanda Seyfried Wears Lingerie in W, Talks Kissing Megan Fox and Falling in …

Craig McDean exclusively for W

Amanda Seyfried looks sexier than ever in the April 2014 issue of W.

The A Million Ways to Die in the West actress poses in various states of undress for the magazine, rocking floral lingerie and red leather cowboy boots. Seyfried, of course, is no stranger to showing off her sultry side—remember when played adult film star Linda Lovelace in 2013′s star-studded indie Lovelace? Or when she kissed Megan Fox in 2009′s heavily publicized but little seen Jennifer’s Body?

“We kissed really well together,” Seyfried says of Fox. “We have similar kissing styles! If I watch the scene, it’s actually really sexy. We got it done for the masses, and, sadly, the masses didn’t show up.”

While the actresses’ steamy lip lock was scripted, Seyfried admits she’s fallen for her colleagues in the past. “I met my first boyfriend on a soap opera,” she says of All My Children‘s Micah Alberti. “We kissed for the first time on the show. It was like a fairy tale. When you’re young, it’s hard not to get together with your co-star. It’s not always the greatest idea, but the experience of making a television show or a movie is so intimate and romantic.”

Alberti isn’t the only person Seyfried’s fallen for on set: she also dated Dominic Cooper, her love interest in 2008′s Mamma Mia! movie. “I love acting like I’m in love! Sex scenes are great,” says the star, whose other exes include Ryan Phillippe and Josh Hartnett. “A lot of my co-stars have been sexy guys my age who are really respectful and cool. So, why not? I’m not going to pretend it’s not fun.”

Seyfried is currently dating actor Justin Long. Compared to previous interviews with W and other publications, she is more reluctant to discuss her personal life. “It may be that I’m older, and it may be that social media is everywhere now,” she says of staying private. “I don’t think I was really famous until last year—and I felt like no one paid much attention to what I was doing. That was good. But Les Mis was an international hit, and that changed things. Before, I was a little more anonymous.”

In fact, according to Seyfried, she’s less recognizable than her pet. “When I landed in Korea recently, there were people holding up pictures of Finn,” the movie star recalls. “In the past year, people just learned how to pronounce my last name correctly, but they all know everything about my dog.”
