I have danced professionally, trained elite performers and choreographed around the world for over 35 years. My specialty is movement. I watch the way clothes fall on the body when people are acting authentically. This means that so much in a garment changes once we leave the change-room. This is what I love about fashion and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I became a designer out of necessity. Growing up I would have been considered &#8220;perfect&#8221; by fashion standards. I did not understand changing and growing bodies since I was always training as a dancer and so my size stayed the same. This all changed when I had my second baby. I had the realisation that my fun wardrobe and cool personality was taking a solid hit from the ups and downs of motherhood. And to put it nicely, IT SUCKED! I have a killer wardrobe and wicked personality but I was stuck wearing t-shirts up to my neck because I couldn&#8217;t just pop on a cut bralette with a low tank top because no one needed to see my boobs which would graciously make their way out the thin piece of material made for either a super model or 12 year old. I was stuck with a functional bra that made my boobs look great as long as the material was opaque or covered my entire body. So, one day I decided to make it my mission to change the face of fashion. That face is the kick ass women who are too old for games but too young to give up. We are in the prime of our lives and we need clothes to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Peekabras has created a new category of clothing &#8211; MIDWEAR. We bridge the fashion gap between clothing and lingerie. Our Head Designer, Lynette Robertson, is a Tony award winning seamstress who is currently working on Moulin Rouge the Broadway show but works exclusively for Peekabras outside of her Broadway endeavours.

Every aspect of bra skins are new and are a combination of fashion design, technology and movement based principals that have never existed in a single garment.
