Men and Underwear

If there is one fashion/clothing item we all wear (perhaps there are exceptions) it’s underwear. It may not be the most glamorous of apparel but it certainly is one that has become the focus for many varied industries (photography included). The US had its first professional underwear designer in 1912 and modern men’s underwear was largely an invention of the 1930s. In this Lifestyle feature, we would like to present various designers and brands, models that showcase them as well as online stores with great selections and blogs about them. The focus, of course, being the photographic interest and stories behind them. In today’s editorial, we introduce ‘Men and Underwear’.
