NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eva Mendes teams up with leading American womenswear retailer, New York & Company (NYSE:NWY) to release her fall collection today that will include plus-sized merchandise for the first time. The Company initially offered the Eva Mendes Collection in sizes from 0-20 and XS-XXL, with many styles offered in petite and tall, but now even more women can enjoy the collection with additional sizes ranging up to size 24 and 3X.

"I'm so excited to continue creating designs for today’s woman," Eva Mendes shares as she prepares for her first plus-size launch. Customers look to New York & Company for affordable fashion and figure-flattering silhouettes. Introducing new sizes reinforces the Company’s commitment to its existing customers as well as offers new customers the chance to explore Eva’s celebrated designs.

To celebrate her fall collection and plus-size launch, Eva plans to visit the New York & Company store at Los Cerritos Center in Cerritos, CA on Thursday, September 14th. Customers will have the opportunity to meet Eva and shop the new assortment. The event will be from 6-8pm and include music, snacks, and exclusive gifts.

“The Eva Mendes Collection is our fastest growing sub-brand at New York & Company. This is our first launch into the plus business and we are thrilled to serve new consumers with our Eva brand,” says Greg Scott, CEO of New York & Company. “We have been successful at providing sizes 0-20 on our eCommerce site, including petite and tall sizes, so it felt very natural for us to expand the collection even further, with a new fit and new sizes for the plus customer,” Scott continues.

Plus sizes for the Eva Mendes Collection will be sold exclusively on the Company’s eCommerce site. Customers can expect the same quality and fashion at the same price as the core Eva Mendes Collection.
