Q&A with Katherine Garbarino
What was your inspiration for this collection?
I have wanted to find something that was both cotton and had a little bit of compression for the longest time and I just wasn't able to find it. Cotton is more breathable, it's an organic fiber, it's a natural material and it's really comfortable to wear day to day and then when you get that additional support that we're giving, everything just smooths out and feels amazing.
So you have this, you're not changing your body, you're not changing yourself, you're just sort of enhancing what you have, and so essentially the inspiration was I can't find what I'm looking for, and so here we go, let's do it. I teamed up with Siella to make it!
Why Organic Cotton?
Organic cotton, aside from the fact that I just love that it's breathable, comfortable, doesn't slide around, it's better for you. Basically it's as natural as it's gonna get while still getting that look fit and you know everything that you want out of like an amazing pair of underwear and bra.
How did you decide on the colours for the collection?
It's so interesting because I think when it comes to anything everybody always wants black. Originally, I wasn't even thinking about black. The three other colors are really my vibe. The oatmeal, the white, the sage are always what I would reach for. But what's so interesting is that obviously consumers love black, so we threw that in as well and I'm so happy that we did.
It's so crisp and beautiful, and I love the look of it, and so I'm really happy that we went with the color palette that we did.
What do you look for in undergarments?
Undergarments are really difficult to design and to get right. Other than from Siella, it's very rare that I find right off the bat a pair of underwear or bra that just fits perfectly. And, we did so much work, it's been eighteen months in the making. So, to make sure it's perfect, I look for comfort. I look for something that's gonna make me feel supported so that whatever I'm wearing on top, I can just like be my best self.
