At Modern Movement, we believe that innerwear should make you feel beautiful from the inside out. For over 20 years, we’ve been dedicated to crafting intimates that combine timeless style with innovative technologies to provide exceptional comfort, shape, and support for women of all ages and body types.
Our Story
The Modern Movement journey began in 1998, when our founder Sarah Johnson set out to create underwear that made getting dressed each day a delight, not a chore. After years working in the intimates industry, Sarah grew frustrated with the lack of options that blended beauty, quality, and comfort in a truly modern way.
So with a small team of expert pattern makers and designers, Sarah launched Modern Movement from a small studio in Los Angeles. Our very first collection featured modern twists on lingerie classics, like cotton briefs with elegant lace trim and wire-free bras with soft molded cups. The response was incredible, and it was clear that we had tapped into an underserved market of women searching for innerwear that effortlessly carried them through busy days.
Over the past two decades, Modern Movement has grown into a leading intimates brand available at major department stores across the United States. But our commitment to helping women look and feel their best from the inside out remains at the core of everything we do.
Our Values
Quality Materials and Craftsmanship
From luxurious lace to innovative performance fabrics, we select only the finest materials to craft our intimates. Our talented team has decades of experience designing and constructing bras, underwear, shapewear, and loungewear that stand up to everyday wear. The quality is in the details, from flexible underwires to bonded seams that lie smoothly against the skin.
Modern Feminine Styling
Our in-house designers find inspiration in fashion trends and classic motifs but interpret them in clean, modern ways. You’ll find elegant detailing like delicate mesh, floral lace, and sleek satin finishes elevated by contemporary silhouettes and a neutral palette accented with bold pops of color. The result is intimates and lounge essentials with timeless appeal.
Comfort and Support
Looking beautiful starts with feeling your best, which is why comfort is central to our design philosophy. Every Modern Movement style incorporates features tailored to provide just the right amount of support while remaining lightweight and breathable even during long wear. Our bras all include plush padded straps, stretch fabrics, and flexible underwires positioned to lift and define your shape.
Innovation
As a modern brand, we’re always exploring new technologies and textile innovations that can enhance the wear experience. This allows us to offer intimates engineered for seamless invisibility under clothing, cooling fabrics to help you feel fresh, wire-free bras with natural shaping, and low maintenance pieces that can move effortlessly from lounging to layering.
An Intimate Understanding of Women’s Needs
During our two decades crafting intimates, we’ve gained an intimate understanding of what women want and need from their undergarments at every age and stage of life. Our extensive size range, adjustable closures, and strategically placed support panels ensure bras and shapewear that conform to your body’s unique proportions. We also design with sensitivities like all-day comfort, discreet nursing accessibility, and breathability in mind.
Responsible and Inclusive
Modern Movement is committed to ethical and sustainable business practices. We partner with manufacturers that provide safe, positive working environments and regularly audit facilities to ensure proper treatment of employees. We also prioritize eco-friendly textiles and processes to reduce our environmental impact.
Inclusivity and celebrating the diversity of all women are also central to our brand values. Our size range accommodates petite to plus sizes so all women can discover the transformative power of finding innerwear tailored to fit their shape.
