In 1845, more than a century before Rosa Parks refused to give up his seat on a bus in Alabama, 24-year-old school teacher Elizabeth Jennings Graham boarded a New York City Tram. She forgot to check if the African American was allowed to ride. When she was asked to dismount, she refused because she ran very late for the church. She grabbed the window frame tightly before the police threw her away. Graham filed and won a lawsuit against the Third Avenue Railway and received $250 in damages. Her actions led to the eventual abolition of apartheid in the city’s railways.

Graham has been identified as one of the “rebellious women” of Victorian New York City – a new exhibition at the New York City Museum. The exhibition is small, concise, beautifully designed, with unique dark green walls on the walls, showing portraits of the 19th century And prints.

“Rebel” is usually associated with our pop culture: leather jackets, smoking smoking, James Dean in rebellion for no reason, David Bowie’s unforgettable lines, “rebel, rebellion, you tear your clothes,” or The bikini killed the punk in the early 90s, “rebellious girl.” This is not the type of character we associate with Victorian women in the bourgeois scene in New York.

From this exhibition, we learned about the smallest violations of rebellion and even from social norms – no need for fishnet stockings or any type of leather. Although many of the things that featured women do today are not considered “swinging,” women of that era can be considered rebellious simply by making statements in the public domain.

In the first half of the 19th century, due to Queen Victoria’s strict ethical principles, “real women” marked four core components: family, religious piety, sexual purity and obedience.

The exhibition first examined this “real female image”, a concept that many women are still trying to solve today. For example, many fashion expectations seem shocking. There is a display of broken ribs in the ribs, the gloves need to be put on the “stretcher”, the dress is so heavy that the wearer must lean forward to maintain balance (then called “Greek Bend”).

In an opposite example, a pair of bright red button shoes are displayed. Wearing these clothes during the day was originally a sign of the identity of the traitor, because women were quiet and would not attract attention.

Although at first, the fashion “real women” feeling seems too much for modern people, we still have been working hard to solve women’s clothing choices. Are we “allowed” to compete for physical attention, or does it mean that we are “sluts”; whether wearing “fashion” clothing means that we insist on some type of patriarchy, or does it mean that we can be in it? Find some kind of personal empowerment; whether some “non-feminine” clothing shows our rebellion against mainstream women’s ideas, or what we ultimately mean for clothing choices.

The most appealing aspect of this exhibition is that it makes the audience feel away from the way we think of crazy, outdated misogyny, and then quietly shows similarities to modern gender issues. Under two long routes, it feels like a corridor. The exhibition has experienced various “rebel women” whose names are scribbled in Victorian fonts. These women deal with birth control issues, control their bodies, and are taken seriously in the workplace and in politics.

Some women elected to represent insurgents are often read in history textbooks: heavyweights of social reformers, including Elizabeth Caddy Stanton and Susan B. Anthony – their attitude towards women’s suffrage is considered to be their era The most rebellious person. Of course, we also found Nellie Bly among the insurgents, who looked calm when reporting on the New York world.

But this exhibition is also crucial, including the lesser-known, non-white, lower-class insurgents who are often forgotten but equally important to the 19th-century female rebel movement.

Los Angeles-based singer Kablito (aka Karen Freire) recently released her first EP Telenovela, whose fluent voice was influenced by the formation of her local R&B radio station in Minneapolis, the prince Home, Jimmy Jam, and New Jacksville – because this is her dramatic soap opera that grew up in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Her EP title is another reference for her dynamic growth. “I think telenovelas is my home,” she said. “There is this one, Rebelde, I have seen that there may be three or four times in my life. It is really cheesy, a bit bad, but it is it. I like it very much. I just want to write a love pop album, I I just felt these feelings from the TV drama and interpersonal experience I watched and put them together to tell a story. “The resulting collection of six songs is played in various ways around the home.

Cabrito said that when she moved from Ecuador to São Paulo when she was 14, she did not realize that her mother was pregnant and that they were relocating, so she could marry a man from Minnesota – a real-world TV series. “I thought we were going to travel to Disneyland, and then I knew the next thing, we live there,” she said.

There, Kablito grew up in typical Latin pop music like Shakira, but she explained that if she didn’t leave the Midwest, she wouldn’t sing in Spanish like Telenovela. “At the school in Minneapolis, I am the only person of color. I feel that it is really strange to express myself. I will sing in Spanish here and there, but I think singing in Spanish is all white. The crowd,” she said. It wasn’t until she moved to New York for a short time, and then when she moved to her current home in Los Angeles, she began to sing in her native language. “It feels natural now,” she said.

“I always wanted to be a Latin artist living in the United States… In my life, I have the same artist to look up.” Although she still admires artists like Shakira, Kablito admits that she feels that Latin music is expanding. – Now, a young artist like Catalan singer Rosalía (a Kablito’s favorite pushes the genre by blending flamenco with traps and other unconventional voices. “I think it is an excitement to be a Latin artist. “The moment of the heart,” Cabrito said. “It’s cool that a generation of artists are talking to me more and more now – I want to be one of those people.”

Kablito’s style was also influenced by the Queen of the R&B in the 1990s, and her voice was broadcast from her local Minneapolis radio. She brought a self-described boyish temperament to the R&B baby girl aesthetics of the 1890s, which was once condensed by Aaliyah and TLC.

One of the examples in the album’s outstanding “Mentiras” music video is Kablito’s white trousers in front of the hummer, shredded on her lap, black patent leather boots and white corset showing a pink pink lace bra. The sea bubble green gloves are finished. “As I get older, I feel more and more feminine, but every day I am embarrassed,” she said.

Kablito has always liked sports, loose items – she listed brands such as Y / Project as style references, even though their clothing is currently out of her price range. “Even when I was young, I didn’t want to wear sandals or dresses – I always wanted to wear loose clothes and sneakers,” she said. She will piece together the appearance of her own Y/Project in the thrift store and the rest of the army: she shines with second-hand pants on the stage and some shiny 3M tape, she even makes prayer candles for Mexico 3M scrunchies – replace the usual religious images with old telenovela scenes.

“The older I get, the more I want to find a feminine mixture, but I also want to wear whatever I want on my own skin,” she said. Kablito may still figure it out, but the process is by no means messy – she always seems to wear the things that make her feel most relaxed, and that’s where the charm lies.

I still remember my mother told me that it was time to start wearing a bra. I am in the fifth grade, I didn’t brush my hair, I definitely have no interest in wearing a bra.

I told her that the bra is not for me, that’s it.

Unfortunately, for my 10-year-old self, my mother is not the kind of woman who accepts me.

Long story short: Brass finally won.

Their victory brought years of discomfort. Regardless of style or fit, the bra I tried was always too tight, too loose, too much material, or too little FAR material. After years of discomfort, I have to think that this is the way the world works. The sky is blue, the rent in New York City is too high, and the bra is the worst.

Michelle Cordeiro Grant, a former Victoria’s Secret employee, was frustrated with the lingerie industry and wanted to destroy it. She believes in creating a brand that focuses on empowering women rather than taking them away. Therefore, LIVELY was born.

Say goodbye to a pointed wire world and impossible size, and say your good comfort, support and practicality.

The LIVELY bra works with your body to give you the best fit, instead of forcing your body into places you don’t want. The bra is made of ultra-soft material so you don’t have to worry about digging or pulling. My favorite is All Day Mesh Trim Bralette ($35; wearlively.com). Despite being a bralette, it still provides plenty of support and no harsh wires.

After switching to LIVELY, I never looked back. I finally cleaned up the house in my bra drawer and replaced it with the option I really like to wear. From Seamless Deep V Bralette ($35; wearlively.com) to all-day wireless push-ups ($35; wearlively.com), Lively offers a style that anyone can appreciate for $35, and the price tag cannot be exceeded.

Made from LIVELY’s ultra-comfortable materials, these bras are very comfortable and you can sleep.

In three years, Reebok’s new product launch was a response to consumer feedback, highlighting the challenges women face in finding the perfect sports bra.

Statistics show that one in five women avoids exercise because they don’t have a proper bra. Reebok is developing a new and innovative product that provides support, comfort and confidence in women.

The result is the Reebok PureMove bra, featuring the brand’s new motion-sensing technology, a unique fabric technology that adjusts and responds to the shape of the body, the speed of the breast tissue, and the type and strength of the movement.

By stretching less during high impact motion, the fabric provides the wearer with the support they need while providing lighter support and a comfortable fit during low intensity activities.

“We can’t proudly launch a product that breaks down the long-term dissatisfaction of consumers and lacks real technological advances. Rebok’s vice president of performance apparel, Barbara Ebersberg, said: “Reebok innovation It has always been the DNA of Reebok, with a focus on transforming and improving one of the most important fitness outfits for women. ”

To test the new design and improve the performance of the bra, Reebok worked with the University of Delaware to measure the effects of various product samples on laboratory breast movements, using 54 motion sensors to track bounce and support, rather than industry standards. Two to four sensors.

Surprisingly, the bra consists of only seven pieces of fabric that are molded onto the body for a seamless second layer of skin fit, which means that the bra not only performs well, but also provides a high level of comfort.

“When you first hold it, the minimalist design of the bra may seem deceptive, but you shouldn’t be confused by lack of support or technology. Reebok’s senior creative fashion designer Danielle Witek says that every detail It is conscious and directly passed many years of testing and research.

This bra will come in a variety of sizes, from XS to XL / XXL, to help ensure a more personalized and personalized, especially for women who find themselves in the standard sports bra size.

The Reebok PureMove bra will be available exclusively at www.reebok.com starting August 17th for $60. The bra will be released at major retailers around the world starting August 30th.

According to a report from the American Cancer Society, an estimated 266,120 women in the United States have newly diagnosed breast cancer this year, and (according to 2016 estimates) can pay an average of $60,000 to $134,000 for treatment and care. However, after bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars and unquantifiable emotional stress to them and their families, the American Cancer Society still estimates that 40,920 women will lose their fight against the disease this year.

According to an estimate by the World Cancer Research Fund in 2012, approximately 1.7 million women worldwide are diagnosed with the disease each year.

Although these numbers are very obvious, they are almost impossible to fully capture how serious the diagnosis of breast cancer is for women and their loved ones. Unfortunately, Julián Ríos Cantú, co-founder and CEO of Higia Technologies, is very familiar with this feeling.

“My mother is two breast cancer survivors,” Cantu told TechCrunch. “The first time she was diagnosed, I was only eight years old.”

Cantu said that his mother’s second diagnosis was initially missed by standard screening because her high breast density blurred the tumor in X-rays. As a result, she lost two breasts, but then recovered completely.

“At that moment, I realized that if this is the case for a woman with private insurance and preventive mentality, then for most women in developing countries, like Mexico, we may not be mastectomy, but It’s death,” Kantu said.

Based on the mother’s experience, Cantu decided to develop a method to improve women’s life value and support their early identification of breast abnormalities and cancer to ensure maximum survival.

To this end, at the age of 18, Cantú designed EVA, a biosensing bra insert that uses thermal sensing and artificial intelligence to identify abnormal temperatures in the breast that may be associated with tumor growth. Cantú said that EVA is not only a simple self-screening tool, but also fills the gap in current screening technology.

Today, women have limited choices in breast cancer screening. They can choose breast ultrasound (its specificity is lower than other options), or breast MRI (higher cost associated), but the standard option is annual or biennial mammography for women 45 years of age and older. The method requires visiting a doctor who manually manipulates the breast and exposes to low levels of radiation for X-ray scanning of the breast tissue.

Although this method is relatively reliable, there are still some important shortcomings, Dr. Richard Kaszynski, medical consultant of Higia Technologies, told TechCrunch.

“We need to identify a real-world solution to diagnose breast cancer earlier,” Dr. Kaszynski said. “When we talk about mammograms, this is always a trade-off because you have exposure, discomfort and anxiety and expose yourself to third parties.”

Dr. Kaszynski goes on to say that these annual or biennial mammograms also leave a gap in care, the interval between cancer – the cancer that begins to occupy between screenings – and the untimely growth of time.

In addition, Dr. Kaszynski said mammograms are not highly sensitive in detecting tumors in dense breast tissue, just like Kantu’s mother. Intensive breast tissue is more common among young women, and 40% of women worldwide and 80% of Asian women can mask the presence of tumors in the breast through mammograms.

Sure you remember the famous “cone bra” (corset conical) that Madonna took in many of his concerts in the ’90s. Its creator was the French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier who was responsible for the costumes of the tour “Blonde Ambition”, and one of the milestones of that tour was the corset with pointed cones and gold.

DEJA VU. The word corset derives from the term “cors” which is the diminutive of body. In Ancient Greece and Rome it was used to lift the bust, tighten the waist and practice some sports. Catalina de Médici was the propeller. The noble banned women from having a wide waist at the Royal Court of France in 1550.

Catalina de Médici was the propeller. The noble banned women from having a wide waist at the Royal Court of France in 1550.

In the Renaissance, women abused the use of corsets. They used very small and tight to tune the waist to unhealthy measures.

At the end of the seventeenth century, they became more elaborate and were the fashion garment that women used in the most important social events. The hoop of the garment pushed the chest up to highlight the bust, making the woman become more curvaceous, as was the ideal of beauty at that time.

POLITICAL RETURN. “In the twentieth century, two factors converge: women become more active and feminists ask that they stop using corsets, posing equality in men and women in all areas, so fashion should not be an exception”, explains Laura Malpeli de Jordaan, image consultant and founder of the web www.styletto.com.ar.

He adds: “The aesthetics of the 20s and the Second World War helped the corset lose popularity and use, but in the 50’s, with the new look of Dior, the silhouette of narrow waist and skirt resurfaces with volume, for which the corset was used “.

But it was in the late 80’s, when this piece – originally created to be worn under clothes – detonated the exhibitionist fever. Known as “the enfant terrible of fashion”, Jean Paul Gaultier gave another meaning to the female silhouette, seen more as a sculpture free of taboos and even exposing it as an object of worship.

And in 1990 Gaultier found his perfect muse and designed the costumes for Madonna’s “Blonde Ambition” tour. One of the milestones of that tour was the corset with pointed cones and golden color. It was vintage lame from the 30s in a golden tone with the chest area pointed.

“The corset is oppressive only when it is carried out by obligation … when it strips of its initial function, it becomes a symbol of sexual liberation,” declared Madonna about the famous garment.
In 1992, the Frenchman replicated his creations for the MDNA Tour, and later two of the originals were auctioned off in London for the shocking amount of $ 42,000 and $ 77,000, respectively.

The duo Jean Paul and Madonna freed fashion and challenged customs. The result: the memory of the blonde contained by the sexy confection was tattooed in the story.

Wearing a wrong size bra is not only uncomfortable, it also causes a range of health problems. Studies have shown that lack of breast support often leads to breast pain, and 50% of women report it. An inappropriate bra that does not give proper support can also cause damage to the skin of the breast – usually considered stretch marks, due to skin stretching beyond its recovery point.

Unfit bras are also associated with neck, back and shoulder pain, bad posture, friction and abrasions, causing skin abrasions.

We also see that a bra that does not fit can cause permanent changes in the body, such as deep shoulder grooves that can be created by the pressure of the bra strap. The unfit bra is even related to the desire to shrink the breast. And 80% of women wear bras that don’t fit, which can be a major problem. In a study evaluating women’s bras that wanted to reduce breast surgery, everyone wore an unfit bra.

The lack of breast support and the difficulty of finding a fitted bra are also associated with reluctance to exercise and have significant long-term consequences.

Despite the considerable health effects, millions of women continue to wear unsuitable bras.

Forget the size of the cup
In 1935, the Warner Bros. incorporated the breast volume into the bra size and introduced the letter bra cup size system we use today.

This original bra size system rose to the D cup. But since the introduction of this system, body size has changed a lot. Many women now buy D cups or larger bras. Some bra companies use the same size system to make the bra a N cup.

The size of the bra is difficult to measure. The accuracy of the bra measurement is affected by breathing, posture and how thin you are. Researchers recommend that bra size measurements should be made on a fitted, linerless and thin bra. But most women may be installed in the store when wearing their own bra, whether it is suitable or not.

Bras produced by different manufacturers have inconsistent dimensions because there is no universal size or grading method. Unfortunately, bra operators have different experiences and do not have agreed skill levels or bras to qualify.

The bra market can be overwhelming and confusing. However, unlike shoes, the breast changes size, shape and position throughout the menstrual cycle and throughout life. The size of the female bra can be changed regularly. Despite this, women have limited guidance in assessing the fit of their bras.

Our research team works with most lingerie companies around the world to provide a scientific, evidence-based approach to bra development. We use 3D scanners and biomechanical techniques to understand the fit of the bra.

If you spend your hard earned money on gorgeous underwear, you might show off it.

Some underwear is so beautiful that it can’t be hidden under the clothes. Underwear has been around for decades, and it was definitely not invented by Kardashian.

Think of Madonna on the cover of Like A Virgin on her online bodice, or wearing the famous Gaultier cone bra on her tour of the Blonde Ambition.

Wearing underwear as a coat, you will be fine. Rihanna, Kate Moss, Lady Gaga and Victoria Beckham all choose to show off their underwear instead of leaving underwear for the bedroom.

If you want to flash your underwear, you don’t have to do it in a particularly dangerous way (unless you want to). There are many style tricks, which means you can trend from rockeries to lingerie from day to night.

The transparent fabric is perfect for showing the underwear you wear underneath.

Depending on how you wear them, they look both floating and whimsical or smooth.

You can even wear a well-cut suit with a transparent turtleneck top that lets the world see the sweet bra in your office.

If you feel bold, try on high-waist underwear.

Let the lace see instead of hiding it. A lace bodysuit or bra is the perfect way to update your outfit.

Put on a jacket (leather and denim can work, just like a silky bomber), you have a sexy, playful look. A hint of lace from the top of the loose neckline is another winner. Try to compare the knit pullover with the deep V-neck with a delicate lace triangle bra.

You don’t need to work hard to wear sportswear. It is very comfortable and versatile and definitely worth adding to everyday clothing.

Combine a sports bra with high-waisted mom jeans or denim overalls for a sporty white look.

It’s not for everyone, but if you’re confident, try stacking a bra or bra on regular clothes. The transparent bra on the white shirt is a strong look, wearing a pair of jeans and a loose jacket at the top.

If you have ever had a Gothic stage, you may remember to wear a corset in a store or a desire that is absolutely beyond your price range. It will be lace, black or purple, and cover complex shoulder straps, ribbons, hooks and eyes.

Almost every woman is developing a bra size and sticking to its entire life. Most of the time, this is done through a trial and error approach – not with the help of a professional. However, a secret model from Victoria has already explained why you ask for expert advice from time to time. So how often should you change your bra?

Well, according to Danish model Josephine Skriver, all women should be professional once every six months. This may sound a bit too much, but the 25-year-old is doing very well. Telling Elle that she had been installed three years ago and “assuming it was her size,” Skiverer revealed that she soon adapted to Victoria’s secrets again and “completely shocked” to see her “completely different.”

She explained: “Every time my mother comes to New York, I am suitable for a new bra, each time a new size. I always think these people don’t know what they are doing, but no, it’s just our woman through the body. Change. As a woman, whether you are exercising or at the time of the month, your body shape will change.”

Skriver has a point of view. After some research, I was surprised to find out how much hormone affects the size of the chest. Ok, so you won’t wake up to four larger sizes, but you may find yourself fluctuating between the two sizes.

According to experts, the size change is mainly to the menstrual cycle. “Most women will notice the difference in the menstrual cycle, which is completely normal,” Dr. Rebecca Booth, a gynecologist, told Health.

In order to know exactly when you need to change to a different bra size, you first need to understand how the menstrual cycle works. It is divided into two phases. The follicular phase occupies the upper half (from the first day of menstruation), while the luteal phase begins after ovulation.

During the follicular phase, the body’s estrogen and progesterone levels are particularly low, and Jennifer Litton, associate professor of breast oncology at the University of Texas, explained to Shape. This is when your chest will be minimal and is actually considered your “real size” bra.

As the luteal phase begins, your chest will automatically become fuller as they are pumped again by hormones. At this point, you may need to invest in a slightly larger bra size to give you maximum comfort and stability.

Of course, it’s not just your time that will affect your bra size. Weight gain or loss may have a significant effect, and your diet and some forms of birth control can also have an effect.

Some women taking birth control pills “may notice an increase in the size of the bust,” Rebecca Findlay of the Family Planning Association told Cosmopolitan. “Some women noticed that there was no difference, and some people noticed that their breasts were getting smaller.”

A carbohydrate-rich diet can also play a catalytic role. According to Health, this is because foods that contain large amounts of carbohydrates can stimulate insulin production and cause residual fluids in the body. Some experts believe that phytoestrogens – phytoestrogens found in fruits, vegetables and some beans – can also cause breast growth. However, research around this is very limited.

In 2016, Debenhams found that eight out of ten women in the UK wore the wrong bra size. According to the “Independent” report, not wearing the correct size can cause many health problems, including “back pain, restricted breathing, bruises, breast pain and bad posture.” With this in mind, perhaps all of us should spend two and a half hours a year looking for some professional help.

She performed a jam-filled weekend at the Bulgarian and Ascot Racecourse.

Rita Ora offers her fans a choice of stage costumes and shows off her hot Ascot look on Instagram on Sunday.

The singer wore a sheer corset and an electric blue beret with the words “Justice.”

Rita emphasized her incredible hourglass shape on her black corset and bit her at the waist.

The translucent design allowed her to see Rita’s torso, while she showed her legs in chic blue shorts.

She is paired with a bright beret set in a platinum gold lock.

Shiny pink lipstick and shiny hoop earrings are the finishing touch.

She also showed off her impressive tattoo collection, her ink flashing as she raised her arms to get a sultry posture.

Later, because of her dull weather in Ascot, the star wore a blue jacket on her bodice and added the corresponding boots.

After performing at Ascot Rita on Saturday, she took a direct flight to the MTV Presents Varna Beach Music Festival in Bulgaria on Sunday.

Between her performances, the busy star had time to pay tribute to her good friend Cara Devain on Sunday, because the model marked her 26th birthday.

In a vibrant Instagram photo, the producers of Hot Right Now smashed their chests in a photo taken with Glamour magazine in 2014, showing a bold performance.

The female singer only wore a tape and a black bottom because she took a shocked face to take a picture.

In order to maintain a close relationship with the birthday girl, she added a title to the short film: “Happy birthday, my crazy pineapple shared a lot of interesting memories with me.”

In the course of their long-term friendship, the eccentric people enjoyed many noisy nights and supported each other on work projects.

However, it was reported that after Cara and Rita fell on the DKNY fashion party, things got worse in 2013.

In mending their friendship, a source told Grazia in 2016: “They are rebuilding their friendship. Glastonbury is a very important part of it. It has been a long time, but they are friends again.
