Comfort is the Ultimate Luxury

Must we suffer to be beautiful?  Still?  It's just a couple of years shy of a century since Coco Chanel introduced sportswear and comfortable clothing for women.  The corset died hard, but it did die; sort of.

Thanks in large part to Chanel, who created comfy sportswear for her upscale clients in 1915 made from jersey, a fabric previous only used for men's underwear!  Now that takes moxie!  So by the 1920's women were free from corsets.



So why backtrack?  Demand comfort!  No matter what size you are, you can look great and feel relaxed and comfortable for your most important occasions and every day of your life.


"I wanted to give a woman comfortable clothes that would flow with her body. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well-dressed."
Coco Chanel
