The recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned, but it unfortunately left much to be desired. While absolute icons like Adriana Lima, Bella Hadid, and Kate Moss graced the runway, the fantasy bra did not. The diversity quotient offered a brief glimmer of hope with Neelam Kaur Gill representing South Asians and Ashley Graham championing size inclusivity, but the feeling faded as quickly as the screen time for diverse models, and the overall show. As our fractured hearts move past this year’s fashion show, it’s time to shift our focus to the future of lingerie—one that thrives in the hands of innovative emerging brands. These designers are redefining luxury lingerie, seamlessly blending modern aesthetics with classic craftsmanship. Here are the top names that we’ve seen spread their wings and we can’t wait to watch them fly:
