A large hungry grin. Fluffy black fur all around his neck, sticking out at the collar of the coat, near his broad, strong shoulders. Blake nearly shouted out loud, making a muffled sound as one of the big wolf paws came down over his mouth.

  • Virility, Enhancement and Men's Underwear
    Virilty, Enahncement and Men’s Underwear Dr. Shaun Cole Programme Director Curation and Culture Course Director MA History & Culture of Fashion Graduate School London College of Fashion The early twenty-first century has seen a fascination with notions of virility expressed through the design and promotion of men’s underwear. In 2007 Australian swim and underwear brand aussieBum introduced the ‘Wonderjock,’ which, founder Sean Ashby said, developed from requests from customers who ‘expressed an interest in looking bigger, just like women using the Wonderbra’.i To achieve this effect the Wonderjock used seams around the pouch and an additional pocket within the pouch front to ‘push up’ the genitals. The Wonderjock was advertised with images of enhanced thrusting crotches, accompanied by text that noted ‘When size matters’. The emphasis on the crotch and male virility in underwear was not new in the early 2000s. Up until the 1930s men’s underwear had primarily been loose fitting, with the exception of the French ‘slip’, reputedly invented by French brand Petit Bateau (originally founded in 1893). The slip was first advertised in the 20 September 1913 edition of L’Illustration, where it was described as ‘for athletes in fine cotton jersey, with elastic belt and thighs’ and providing ‘support without hindering any movement’. Inspired by a photographic image of similar style French ‘slip’ swimwear American underwear company Cooper’s Inc. introduced ‘Model 1001’ briefs in 1935 which provided ‘masculine support’ for the wearer’s genitals, through a double layer of soft rib-knit fabric in the centre front. The waistband and leg opening bands were made from Lastex, which helped the garment sit securely against the body.

  • Undressed: a Brief History of Underwear Sponsored by Agent Provocateur and Revlon 16 April 2016 – 12 March 2017 | #Vamundressed
    News Release Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear Sponsored by Agent Provocateur and Revlon 16 April 2016 – 12 March 2017 www.vam.ac.uk/undressed | #vamUndressed Next year the V&A will tell the story of underwear design from the 18th century to the present day, considering the practical and personal, sensory and fashionable and exploring underwear’s roles of protecting and enhancing the body. Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear will display more than 200 examples of underwear for men and women, highlighting the enduring themes of innovation and luxury, from the custom-made, such as a rare example of home-made ‘stays’ worn by a working woman in England in the 18th century to pieces by designers including Stella McCartney, La Perla, Rigby & Peller and Paul Smith. The exhibition will explore the relationship between underwear and fashion, notions of the ideal body, and the ways that cut, fit, fabric and decoration can reveal issues of gender, sex and morality. It will consider health and hygiene and address the design and technological advances central to the development of underwear. On display will be corsets, crinolines, boxer shorts, bras, hosiery, lingerie and loungewear alongside contextual fashion plates, photographs, advertisements, display figures and packaging. Highlights will include long cotton drawers worn by Queen Victoria’s mother; an 1842 man’s waist belt used on the wearer’s wedding day; a 1960s Mary Quant body stocking; a pair of gender neutral briefs by Acne; a sheer dress by Liza Bruce famously worn by Kate Moss; and flesh-coloured leggings decorated with a mirrored glass fig leaf by Vivienne Westwood.
