  • 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.
