The Underfashion Club hosted Bra-Volution to give club members and friends a chance to walk back in time and witness the evolution of lingerie and sleepwear, from top to bottom! It was held at the Pergola Restaurant in NYC on June 23rd, 2015. Garments were pinned to boards throughout the venue to illustrate key trends for each decade from the 1950’s up until today with an amazing collection of beautiful garments, generously donated by friends in the intimate apparel industry! Our journey through time begins with the oldest piece on display, a Triumph bra from 1914.
The Underfashion Club had the pleasure of illustrating live lingerie models with guidance from the acclaimed fashion illustrator Bil Donovan during our latest event, “Illustration & Libation”! It was held on May 14th, 2015 at the Society of Illustrators in Manhattan, a gorgeous environment that’s brimming with art and dedicated to nurturing the creativity of illustrators. All attendees enjoyed a delicious dinner and drinks while networking!
