Once upon a time, there was a bra, that item of clothing that is always there to guarantee our comfort and well being.

Once upon a time, there was a bra, that item of clothing that is always there to guarantee our comfort and well being.

More than an item of clothing, it is our everyday support. When, each morning, we pick the bra we’re going to wear, we’re making a very complex and more important decision than just simply grabbing the first one we see in the drawer. There are several factors that contribute to this ruling, such as the softness of fabric, colour, whether it has wires or not, how confident it will make us feel. Finding the perfect bra is a mission: we all have different breasts, with different shapes and sizes, and it is legitimate that our needs are, therefore, different as well. So, as many options there are, the easier it is to find a breast friend. Intimissimi knows that, that’s why they expanded their differentiated cups concept to include most items in the Classic line. The italian brand’s bras have wide backs which involve the thorax even further, its brackets are bigger and the cups are deeper, providing more coverage. Therefore, even more needs are being satisfied, especially the ones of who wear larger sizes. Actress Júlia Palha, the face of Intimissimi’s new campaign, confirms: “Having a bigger breast, it’s essential that underwear, our second skin, is comfortable and respects our body shape as much as possible”. 

With the expansion of the differentiated cups concept to other models, the italian brand assures a greater variety of choices, always promising feminine, elegant lines, within the trends. To Júlia Palha, “having options that fit every moment of my everyday life” is essential when it comes to lingerie. “When I’m shooting, working out or just walking around to wear cotton and microfibre, which are very comfortable fabrics that embrace the body. When I’m out to dinner or at an event, I like to be bolder and wear something with lace, for instance”, says the actress. Whatever the case, “it’s always important that the design and the fabric are comfortable and appropriate to the size of the breast”. Like all women, Júlia Palha says that “lingerie is a starting point to everyday confidence, that’s why I love picking elegant and beautiful bras”. Those who wear smaller sizes usually have a lot to choose from. It’s a different story as the numbers on the tag increase: “larger sized lingerie isn’t as elegant as regular sizes, and the design wasn’t as elaborate as it is today”, she confesses. Hopefully, things have changed. Júlia Palha remembers: “For some time now, Intimissimi has had the concern of providing beautiful lingerie to all women and ever since they expanded the differentiated cups concept to all their collections, I can wear elegant bras every day and feel confident”.
