It truly is a pleasure to discover a brand run by a team that is filled with passion for what they create and who they create for. I immediately felt this way when learning more about Madrid-based swimwear label Alawa.

When I started my career stint in Intimate Apparel 35 years ago, Cosabella was a new brand in the market. They made their mark rather quicklly with the Soire panty housed in a flat white mini pack.

What does size equality really look like when it comes to fashion and lingerie? Many prominent companies are starting to argue that it’s pretty simple: equality is when a store carries a full size range of items that are all the same. While Uye Surana isn’t one of the companies explicitly making that argument in their marketing materials, I would argue that they are a great example … Read More
