Maidenform

We were delighted to be chosen to refresh Maidenform Intimates. The inventor of the bra and all things lingerie, Maidenform is the historical expert on women’s undergarments. Today, however, the brand is not known to younger audiences. Our charge? To make Maidenform relevant again!

Then CEO Maurice Reznik saw an amazing opportunity to introduce Maidenform to a whole new market, reaffirming its position as the category leader.

Quite different from Victoria Secret’s “pink,” Maidenform was “magenta,” a color bold, empowered and iconic just like its legacy…and like the women it would attract.

BREAD wrote The Book on Maidenform, essentially rewriting the company history as a 100 page brand story. Full of anecdotes and significant moments in women’s undergarment movement, it serves as both an engaging conversation piece and a vision document for Maidenform’s path forward.
