The top 8 inclusive luxury lingerie brands right now
As a millennial on the older end of the spectrum, I can remember when there was only one lingerie store in any mall or shopping center. Victoria’s Secret reigned supreme and so did its messaging — that beauty, femininity and sexiness was defined by being white, thin, and well, thin.

It’s also hard to believe that it was only three years ago that the now-defunct lingerie giant announced they had added a plus-size model to their annual runway extravaganza: Barbara Palvin, a size 4. Yes, you read that right. Cue to massive eye roll.

3. Fleur du Mal x Precious
Luxury lingerie brand Fleur du Mal teamed up with Model Precious Lee to create the brand’s first collection of lingerie in extended sizes. As Precious Lee told Vogue, “I’m proud to contribute to closing the gap between smaller sizes and larger sizes in fashion; we shouldn’t be ostracized, I want to unify and elevate the industry by showing that. The concept that larger women are less stylish and less sexy is just simply not the truth.”

5. Cosabella
Husband and wife duo Valeria and Ugo Campello founded Cosabella, which means “beautiful thing” in Italian. The brand’s Italian artisans still mane the lingerie in family-run workshops tucked away in villas dotted throughout Italy. Cosabella is also renowned for their expansive color offerings — 100 vibrant shades in all, which the company attributes to the water that flows straight from the Alps allowing unique color vibrancy, clarity and protection of the fibers. I know I’ve spent way too much time trying to decide between the subtle differences between Victorian Pink and Dragon Fruit!

6. Lonely
Celebs like Lena Dunham, Jemima Kirke and Kylie Jenner all love this cult-status New Zealand intimates label. The Lonely brand is known for comfy and lacy soft cup bras in unusual but attractive colors that are meant to peak out of a slouchy top. And we love that they always feature older models and diverse body types.
