We are all body-conscious, whether we hide our contours or we enhance and reveal them. There is shapewear which can be worn under clothes, and bodycon dresses which accentuate our curves without the help of undergarments. Spanx and Max Azria are the first huge fashion names in these fields respectively. But if you rethink, you’ll find many more brands celebrating the female body and following carefully its structure. Max Azria at Herve Leger has developed the bandage dress creating glamorous eveningwear along with seductive day pieces. He offers some hints of this privilege at his BCBG collection as well. Spanx is a shapewear that evolved into a fashion industry giant giving great solutions to curvilicious superstars such as Kim Kardashian as well as everyday women. They all have a little secret to share. Do you think they are the only ones? Let’s see more designers and brands that glorify and mold femininity!
