Developed over the course of a year, the 15-piece collection was designed by Urban Outfitters’ in-house label, Out From Under (OFU), in partnership with Tinashe. The collection features wrap layers, ruched details, cropped shrugs, and other movement-driven silhouettes aimed at merging comfort and performance.

The collaboration reflects Tinashe’s lifelong relationship with dance and her desire to infuse elements of a dancer’s everyday wardrobe into wearable fashion pieces.
“My biggest muses for this collection are the dancers that I'm always surrounded by in the studio. As a dancer, you get used to wearing bikini tops or cropping sweat pants to make your practice days easier, and I've always admired how people put their personal spin on their 'uniform.’ This collaboration with Urban Outfitters allowed me to put some more design and intentionality behind these little 'if you know you know' aspects of a dancer's wardrobe to make this equally fashionable and functional,” said Tinashe.
The collection includes a mix of statement pants such as the No Simulation Drawcord Cinch Pant, Match My Freak Foldover Flare Pant, and Nasty Girl Wide Leg Sweatpant. Additional pieces like the Cross That Line 2-in-1 Sports Bra, Keep Up Ruched Adjustable Tie Top, 1st Position Wrap Top, and Blueprint Asymmetrical Micro Skirt are designed for layering and flexibility. Cozy essentials like the Quantum Baby Hoodie and Nashe Ultra Cropped Hoodie are also part of the lineup.
The campaign was photographed by Cozy and directed by Cole Santiago, with choreography led by Robbie Blue. It was filmed at the Grand Academy of Ballet in Encino, Los Angeles, and features dancers from Tinashe’s creative circle.
The Urban Outfitters x 1st Position Presented by Tinashe collection will be available beginning October 16, 2025, in select Urban Outfitters stores and online. Prices range from $19 to $79.
