The Sexy History of the Bra

Happy 102nd birthday to the bra! On Nov. 3, 1914, Caresse Crosby patented the first brassiere. Her invention separated the breasts and was soft, light, and comfortable compared to the stiff, heavy corsets favored at the time. Since then, the bra has come a long way — from Marilyn Monroe’s sexy sweater bra to Gisele Bündchen’s $12.5 million bejewelled number. It has also transformed from a practical underpinning to a flauntable fashion accessory and has created a multibillion-dollar industry. It’s hard to imagine life without one — a good bra makes you feel powerful and confident — the perfect foundation for your #PowerLook.

What do you get when you combine perfect style with perfect fit? Perfect confidence — and an outfit that’s your #PowerLook. Find yours with Yahoo Style’s complete guide to fashion that makes you feel invincible, and post your #PowerLook to be featured on our feed!

The First Major Plus-Size Male Model Takes on His Critics

In Astoria, Queens, model Zach Miko lives an unremarkable life: he wakes up, walks the dog, goes to the gym, and binge watches HBO’s “Westworld.” But he’s in the midst of doing something remarkable: Miko is the first plus-size male model to sign with a major modeling agency.

A few years ago, the 26 year old, who was then trying—mostly unsuccessfully—to make it as an actor, felt unaccepted and often dismissed because of his size, 6’6″ tall with a 40-inch waist. “I’m an all-around big guy and always have been,” Miko tells Yahoo Style.

Then he landed a modeling gig for Target’s “big & tall” clothing line, which included Miko wearing an “Ugly Holiday Faux Cardigan Sweatshirt” and a t-shirt with “UNWRAP THIS” emblazoned across the chest. That’s not usually the kind of campaign fashion dreams are made of, but IMG Models called him shortly afterwards. The most elite modeling agency in the fashion world, whose roster includes supermodels Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid, wanted to debut a “Brawn” or plus-size for guys division and saw Miko as the perfect model to start with.

“The industry is completely crazy,” Miko said. “It’s funny because I got rejected from acting jobs because of my size, but IMG was like, ‘We’ll take you! We’ll create a whole new thing for you to be part of!’”

Miko has since added big clients like Levi’s and Old Navy to his modeling portfolio and has grown a considerably large following of over 60K on Instagram. Not everyone online is supportive though.

“The Internet is a really dark place,” he said, “And it really brings me back to my childhood, when I was constantly bullied because of my size. I can get 100 wonderful comments, but I just need one person to say something awful like that I’m ‘disgusting’ or ‘promoting unhealthy lifestyles,’ and I’ll be in a bad mood for days.”

Though it may be difficult for Miko to ignore all the negativity he’s subject to online, he’s decided to battle social media altercations with a “they go low, you go high” mentality — something he’s learned from fellow plus-size models (and close friends) Ashley Graham and Candice Huffine (and Michelle Obama of course).

“It’s ‘water off a duck’s back,’ we say. You know, I want to fight back, but have to realize that the Internet has given people a mask to be anonymous,” he said. “Of course, I’m bullied all the time, but at a far less volume than Ashley [Graham] and Candice [Huffine].”

This is why Graham, who considers herself a “body activist” has especially advocated for a change in conversation surrounding the modeling industry. “I’m very proud of my work as a model, and I’m even more proud of the work we’ve all done to raise awareness for body positivity and size diversity within the fashion industry,” she wrote in an article for Lenny Letter. “However, I refuse to let others dictate what my body should look like for their own comfort. And neither should you.”

Miko, too, agrees that he has a responsibility to make change happen. “I often ask myself, ’does my size define me?’, but really, I get to write my own definitions,” he said, “and that is a great responsibility.”
