Their mission statement is that their underwear ‘aims to boost your confidence and offer your body support where you need it most.’ Their designs are made to look fabulous, to offer comfort and also support.

Frankie Goes To Bollywood Shines At The Wolves Grand
2024 has been a good year for shows highlighting Indian cultural gems. Earlier this year saw the brilliant Bhangra Nation delighting audiences, and now ‘Frankie goes to Bollywood’ has arrived at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre as part of a UK tour.

In the past, our cosmetic choices and skincare heroes seemed to be taken from the big brands like L’Oreal, and from the French fashion and beauty houses that promised quality and exceptional products bought at, let’s face it, often extortionate prices. Those much coveted beauty products like Touche Eclat from Yves Saint Laurent were aspirational, and for many, particularly teenage and young women, were also out of the price range. But in recent years there has definitely been a shift when it comes to make up and beauty/skincare. The rise of the beauty…
