Curve NYC event
Curve Expo, the #1 Lingerie and Swimwear tradeshow in North America stopped at the chic area of Tribeca in NYC. During the event, hosted at Spring Studios, Curve showcased international brands in lingerie, loungewear, swimwear, and activewear.
Unlike any show before, inclusion was a resounding theme as more than 150 worldwide brands presented an eclectic selection of pieces that counted with something for everyone. Long are the days when only people in a specific size could enjoy beautiful lingerie. These brands allow people of all shapes and sizes to enjoy rocking the best lingerie.
Brands like Panty Promise, Zhe by Karyn Elizabeth, Menagerie, and Naked Rebellion are reshaping the intimate industry by making pieces for people of all sizes, ethnicities, and genders.
Panty Promise specializes in making all organic cotton underwear that will keep the gyno away! Their seamless panties offer inclusive sizes from XS to 4X and count in different colors to match skin tones of any ethnicity. Then you have Naked Rebellion which offers bras and panties in 9 shades and eight sizes ranging from S to 3X. Its goal is to become the most inclusive brand in the market and to create such comfortable underwear that your body can breathe in and feel like you have nothing on.
Zhe by Karyn Elizabeth got her inspiration from her daughter when she started her transition. Karyn’s specialty is her tucking panties which are more comprehensive and have two layers of medical-grade power mesh, guaranteed to keep everything safe and where you want it to be.
Then you have Menagerie, which creates beautiful intimates exclusively for the male form. They have been pioneering the male lingerie industry for over eight years and carry everything from boxers to briefs, biker shorts, and thongs made with custom lace in Italy. Their hip brief has always been their most-popular piece, but now thongs and jockstraps are quickly taking that title. Their focus is to bring the things men need but is not talked about to live.
It’s certainly refreshing to live in a time when lingerie is no longer reserved for models, as the reality is entirely different. Everyone, regardless of size, color, or gender, wants to feel beautiful and sexy, and thanks to these brands, that is a possibility.
