I am constantly on the go and wondering if you have any tips for packing your bra?  I heard that it is very bad to just squish them into your luggage with the rest of you clothing and since I wear padding, it does affect the shape.  Wanted to see if you had any suggestions?. . . Lauren

SUCH a great question!! With many people escaping to warmer locales during the winter months, it’s a great time for a reminder on how to properly store your bras for travel. Bras are so delicate, it is very easy to squish the cups and bend the underwire, stretch out the straps and ruin them permanently! Caring for your bras the right way will … Read more

How did you feel about being named “Worse Dressed” even if it was a bit tongue & cheek?  We all have fashion faux pas, any suggestion for dealing with them on the spot or avoiding them all together?

As an on-air fashion expert/correspondent, commentator, critic and contributor, and of course author of THE BRA BOOK, usually, I’m seen in magazines making fun of some of the horrible fashion choices celebrities make.  But recently I found myself on the other side of things when I wore a dress MADE OUT OF 200 BRAS for the Bravo TV show MAD FASHION!

Chris March is known for his outrageous designs for people like Lady GaGa and Madonna, and I wanted to make a splash for my Manhattan book launch party. Needless … Read more

Jené, what is the biggest lingerie problem you notice when you are styling  a celebrity?  How do you resolve it?

In my experience, celebs have 2 big issues when wearing couture gowns on the red carpet – not being able to wear a bra and getting bulges or lines where they shouldn’t be. To solve the “top” dilemma, in place of a bra, usually what I recommend is having foam cups (you can usually get them at a craft store) sewn into the bodice of the dress and then keeping it in place with double-stick tape. If they are wearing a bra or the dress has boning for structure, often they’ll insert a pair of silicone gel “cutlets” for extra oomph.

What is the biggest issue you confront when interfacing
with women about their lingerie?

Honestly, our brains are our biggest barriers when it comes to our boobs! Women get stuck in this mindset that they “know” what size they are/should be/look like and they can’t wrap their heads around someone telling them otherwise. It’s like an article I recently wrote that many women don’t follow the doctor’s advice because they think they know more than an MD. I’ve realized that it’s the same case when trying to help women with bras – they either think they know better OR they don’t want to accept that they’re aging, their bodies are changing, they’re gaining weight or not as “perky” as they used to be. This makes it hard … Read more

What Compelled You To Write The Bra Book?

I had a successful career in TV news for several years, but I tired of the daily doom and gloom stories we covered and always yearned for something more positive. In 2006, I started working for a production company in NY covering fashion weeks in NY and Paris and realized that’s what I truly loved. Around that time, I started researching magazines I could write for as I had been writing for TV for so long, why not? I stumbled upon The WAG, a regional luxury publication outside of NYC and set up a meeting with the editor. After writing a couple of articles, they liked my work and offered me a position as a columnist. I’d … Read more
