Actress Gabrielle Union has been announced as the new face of New York & Company's 7th Avenue Design Studio, and stars in the brand's latest campaign.

The 7th Avenue Design Studio collection was reportedly inspired by the title character in the 2017 TV series Being Mary Jane, played by Union, as she 'embodies a specific New York & Company customer - the career woman who needs easy and effortless styles that are polished and on-trend'. As part of the partnership, Union will also design her own eponymous line, launching August this year, and commented 'I am excited to work with a brand that's known for embracing diversity and that caters specifically to women - especially women who want to look on-point without breaking the bank. I can't wait to show everyone what I've been working on!'.
