A nude bra and skin tone hosiery are the basics of every woman’s wardrobe, at least in theory. However, finding suitable skin-tone hosiery and lingerie has proved a challenge for many women. Innovative lingerie and hosiery brand Nubian Skin aspires to change this scenario, redefining the meaning of ‘nude’ and providing a range of products in a variety of shades for women with darker complexions.
“My nude isn’t the nude I see in shops. Despite the reality that women of colour have the same needs as all women when it comes to lingerie and hosiery, the industry simply doesn’t cater to us. So, I thought, it’s time to rethink the definition of nude,” says Nubian Skin‘s founder Ade Hassan.
Launched in October 2014 with a philosophy of ‘Empowering Women. Embracing our Colour’, the British brand encourages women to embrace their skin through offering a broad range of skin-tones from the creamy ‘café au lait’ to the richest, darkest, ‘berry’. The brand offers bra sizes 30B – 36DD/E, with the hopes of expanding their size and product range in the future.
