S o many things Kate Moss said on Desert Island Discs were shocking and yet not shocking, but before any of that, just the sound of her voice was absolutely arresting. For over 30 years, she has been the sphinx at the very centre of the culture: no chat shows, no panel games; no podcasts or voiceovers; no Simpsons cameo, no gentle segue into the kind of familiarity where someone who sounds a bit like her could make a decent living doing voiceovers for radio ads. Moss described going to a casting for a bra catalogue when she was 15, and some garden-variety predator asking her to take her bra off. She talked about the photographer Corinne Day, who was a friend of hers, and yet still steamrollered her into — what else? Then Moss talked about her crippling anxiety before the equally seminal Calvin Klein shoot in , rooted, it sounds, in that nightmare hall of mirrors, where she was lauded for her beauty, yet expected to surrender her autonomy in its service — and smile while she was at it. The 90s overflowed with rumours about Kate Moss — that she was dumb, that she was a druggie, that she used not to be dumb before she was a druggie, or — counter view — that she had always been dumb, because she grew up in Croydon.

Bra History: The Year Anniversary of the Modern Brassiere | Time
O ne hundred years ago today, on Nov. But when observing this milestone, perhaps we should instead celebrate the greatest perk pun intended that bras provide: For years, women have been able to experience the joy of taking off the constricting garment after a long day. It looks like a halter top bikini, I guess, but not quite so conforming. And compared to the restrictive, metal corsets that women were used to jamming their bodies into, the bra was the epitome of relief. So really, the equivalent of coming home and taking off your bra before setting in on a West Wing marathon on Netflix was coming home and swapping your corset for a Backless Brassiere before setting in on a needlepoint marathon. But Jacob, who changed her name to Caresse Crosby, never did turn her creation into a profit.

We talked to Claire. I've wanted to work in lingerie for a very long time. In , during a trip to China with my grandmother for the World Expo, I noticed there was a problem in this area.
