Latto and Apple Bottoms Collab Serving Sexy Looks, Legacy & Attitude for Fall 2025

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The brand that made curves and inclusivity iconic is back with a bold new voice. Apple Bottoms, the legendary fashion line founded by Multi Grammy-winning artist and mogul Nelly, is teaming up with three-time Grammy nominated, multi-Platinum ATL rapper - Latto for an exclusive capsule collection dropping today.

"Apple Bottoms was a staple in the culture. Every 'itgirl' had a pair. Now it's my turn to bring that feeling back — but louder," says Latto. "This collection is for the women who want to be seen, who move with confidence, and who don't apologize for having curves or opinions."

Latto x Apple Bottoms is more than a collab — it's a cultural reset. Inspired by Latto herself, the line fuses Y2K nostalgia with 2025 edge: reimagined denim and custom pieces that celebrate body confidence and bold femininity. This is Apple Bottoms for the next generation — still rooted in hip-hop style, still for the girls who walk in and own the room. Latto worked hand in hand with the AB designers to come up with pieces that represent her personal style.

"Apple Bottoms was a staple in the culture. Every 'itgirl' had a pair. Now it's my turn to bring that feeling back — but louder," says Latto. "This collection is for the women who want to be seen, who move with confidence, and who don't apologize for having curves or opinions."

Michael Saunders of AB described how the collab came together, "Latto is so fashion forward and ahead of her time, that she reached out to us before we had even announced the relaunch! She had a vision and we were excited to bring it to life. Always ahead of the curve, Latto was rocking vintage Apple Bottoms before she knew the brand was making a comeback. At the same time, Apple Bottoms was gearing up to reach out to her. Everything aligned and it was fate."

When asked to sum up her style in three words, Latto doesn't hesitate: "Southern, gold and animal print." It's a perfect encapsulation of her aesthetic/

Latto is bringing a fresh, fearless energy to fashion that's rewriting the rules of ATL style. Blending her roots with a modern edge, the rap star turns every outfit into a statement. From bold throwback vibes to luxe high fashion, her looks—much like her music—are striking, confident, and impossible to ignore.

Latto has said "Atlanta has shaped everything about me, I love a good set where my bag, shoes and even my headband all match perfectly. That's just who I am." She is known for her love of animal prints to rich browns and fur accent. "Think a living room decked out in fur and animal print—dark, moody and full of personality."

Some of the Key Pieces include:

OG GOLDEN DELICIOUS JEAN

The OG Apple Bottoms fit that made history. These curve-hugging, mid-rise skinnies feature luxe Golden Delicious embroidery. Designed to shape and lift your booty, these classic jeans will be enhancing your assets in all the right ways.

TWILL STRENTCH PANT

Low rise? Say less. These stretch twill pants feature an all-over cheetah print for big, bold energy. Flattering, fierce, and impossible to ignore — pair them with the Apple Bottoms embellished tank or tube top and own the streets like it's your very own catwalk.

EMBELISHED PANT AND JACKET SET

Your new off-duty uniform. Soft and sleek plush velour, rhinestone embellishments, and that iconic Apple Bottoms script. The perfect throwback look with a modern edge.

Nelly commented, "Latto's a force. She represents everything Apple Bottoms has always stood for confidence, edge, and real star power. This Capsules drop is special and we are excited to share it."

The limited-edition Latto x Apple Bottoms capsule will be available exclusively online starting August 4th. Pieces range from statement denim to remix-ready crop jackets, elevated basics, and standout sets in signature Apple Bottoms flavor.

Additional drops will roll out in the coming weeks- follow Latto, Nelly and Apple Bottoms for the latest pieces before the latest drops before they sell out!
