The business side of fashion
I have always dreamed of working in the business side of fashion. This summer I had the privilege of interning at a lingerie company in digital marketing and brand management. With industry giants such as Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein perpetuating an unrealistic image of ideal body type, many consumers have been left feeling excluded and shamed away from the lingerie buying experience. With body-positivity trending across social media platforms, a size-inclusive niche market has opened up in the past decade; independent brands, not unlike the company I work for, are continuously breaking into and disrupting the lingerie industry.
Innovation and technology have made lingerie comfortable and accessible for all body shapes and sizes. Such intimates are directed towards premium and luxury markets, but consumers get what they pay for: high quality merchandise that makes them look和感觉不错。这些新手品牌一般都深受欢迎，因为它们赋予促进身心的信心，自爱的。他们也迎合了年轻一代采用电子商务模式，甚至推出订阅服务，以满足21的需求ST-century shopper.
