Lizzo stands confidently front and center alongside a diverse group of models, all wearing black or purple form-fitting tops and bottoms. Yitty’s official Instagram page went into more detail about the summer 2023 release date.
“The rumors are true: YOUR SKIN by YITTY is coming late summer 2023 and will be here to stay, forever!” they captioned the post.
“Our Binder Top and Tucking Thong are designed with the comfortable, shaping compression y’all love, with additional seam and stitch details to keep you snatched AF in alllll the right places. Time to feel more like YOU.”
The “I’m Free” singer followed up with a behind-the-scenes video from the photoshoot to explain her inspiration for creating the inclusive line.
“I’ve watched countless videos of people crafting their own garments to wrap or tuck their bodies so their body can truly feel like theirs,” she wrote.

“I’ve heard people talk about their preference of wanting to be fluid in how they want to present their bodies depending on their mood or style of clothing. And I wanted to help. I called my team at yitty and they immediately jumped to action. It took 2 years of extensive wear testing, community feedback, and attention to detail. I’m excited to say we have a great product that promises to grow and expand with Your needs.”
The announcement comes one week after Lizzo tweeted about recent anti-LGTBTQ+ legislation.
