Grammy winner Fantasia has announced that her bourgeoning business, Addies Place, will be releasing a line of swimwear.
The inspiration for this line comes from her grandmother, Apostle Addie Collins, who passed away in 2015.
“Do you remember when swimwear was sexy, yet classy? I want to bring that vibe back with an exclusive Nightgowns, swimwear and Beautiful Candle launch coming soon @addiesplacellc!” Fantasia wrote in a caption for a photo of her floating on an inflatable sunbed, relaxing in a vintage swimsuit.
According to Fantasia, the upcoming line will feature swimwear, as well as nightgowns, and candles. However, the collection has not yet been featured on an official website, and its prices have not been made available.
Fantasia’s recent announcement comes shortly after appearing in her brother Ricco Barrino’s official music video for “Let’s Dance.”
The video pays tribute to her honorary membership in Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. The two dropped the collaborative track back in May.
Fantasia is currently on a nationwide concert tour, performing songs from her past albums like Side Effects of You, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
She’s gearing up to release an R&B and gospel album soon, but for now, fans can enjoy her live shows until early fall.
By then, Fantasia will likely be supporting her major role in The Color Purple musical film. She reprises her award-winning role as Celie for the production directed Blitz Bazawule.
The Color Purple‘s official trailer, featuring Halle Bailey, H.E.R., and Taraji P. Henson, was released in May and has since gained over 9.1 million views. The movie will be in theaters on Christmas Day (Dec. 25).
