Today on Fashion Crimes, we are joined by Masha Titov, a fierce, badass woman who started a lingerie line called TITOV that has limited drops, inclusivity of sizes, and NO underwire (good riddance! Am I right?!). As a production manager at Yeezy, Masha was working long hours traveling to manufacturing facilities. In the middle of a 109° day, wires digging in and boob sweat in all, she took off my bra at work. Embarrassed and annoyed, she made it her mission to create lingerie that doesn’t distract her from her busy life. She's inspired to bring women lingerie that feels special and like it was made for them.
TITOV has been featured on Boston Globe, NBC, ELLE, Boston Magazine, Boston.com along side with hosting pop ups in collaboration with Rebecca Minkoff (we love a good Rebecca Minkoff moment), private pop ups in Milan, Italy during fashion week, and virtual events supporting great causes like I Support The Girls. She’s here today to share why she decided to start a lingerie line and speak about her dreams for the future of her TITOV; you won’t want to miss it!
