I Never Saw Myself in Lingerie Ads. Savage X Fenty Changed That

Up until recently, I had never seen myself reflected in lingerie ads. Although I was drawn to the seductive cuts of lingerie and their potential to bring out my sexy side, nothing about most lingerie brands’ messaging or imagery felt meant for me. I don’t look anything like the models that dominate lingerie ads, so I almost gave up on lingerie – but then I found Savage X Fenty.

I first explored Savage after reading a Buzzfeed article that called the brand’s 2020 fashion show “diverse” and said “the message behind it is so damn powerful.” In a rush of excitement, I visited Savage’s website, and I immediately saw models of all races, sizes, and body shapes wearing gorgeous lingerie pieces in all kinds of colors. I finally saw diversity – no, I saw myself

As I looked at Savage X Fenty’s lingerie options, I felt so empowered seeing models from all different backgrounds posing in each item. The Flocked Logo Brazilian in Green Lagoon had a size 1X model and a Black model wearing a size M. The Floral Lace Unlined Bra in Black Caviar had a 42DDD Black model alongside a more traditionally thin 32C model. 

I kept browsing and wound up buying five pieces, among them the Flocked Logo Brazilian, Floral Lace Unlined, and my absolute favorite, the Strap Up Crotchless Lace Teddy in Taboo Blue. I knew to get that one after seeing models that looked like me absolutely rock it, and oh my God do I look and feel fantastic while wearing it.

In the time since I bought my Teddy, I’ve gotten a few more pieces I absolutely love, including the V Day 2021 Forever Savage Bralette. Although I still look nothing like most models, Savage X Fenty makes me feel like one – its lingerie is sexy, comfy, and plain old fun. I’ve finally found a brand that elevates every person who wants to feel sexy, and I couldn’t be happier!
