The Wonderbra: You lift me up
Adventures in underwear – a brand new series that celebrates our most foundational garments. In Episode 1: “Hello boys!” In the 90s the Wonderbra changed everything, kicking off an up-front age of supermodels, sex-positive post-feminism and ladettes in clubwear. How did a humble 1940s bra become the underwear that changed the world? How does that iconic Eva Herzigová poster look to us today? And is the world ready to lift off with the Wonderbra again?
Join fashion journalists Emily Cronin (Elle, Telegraph, Grazia) and Kate Finnigan (FT, British Vogue, The Gentlewoman) on the first step in a journey through the secret life of pants… and more.
