Questions & AnswersThis pair of underwear is very, very athletic. I was thinking about movement, range of motion and comfort and no wedgies and so therefore it led me to do, my fabrics that I used for the collection were all underwear fabrics, lycra, knits, spandex that stayed like the no rising up kind of fabrics. And these I used to design detail to make them a little bit appealing but they are basically for functionality and, like I said before, there's nothing wrong with functionality, functionality is necessary. You can't always be the avant garde designer because even then if you're always that person that does things a little bit off that little bit of off is going to become mundane after a while. It's going to cross over to that level where all your crazy stuff ceases to be crazy. It's expected and who likes to do the expected? If you're always doing something crazy and whacked out and weird people are going to expect that so you know what one season hit them with functionality. Do something completely basic, stark and functional. These are boy shorts. They have a straight across waistband to limit riding up, moving down. Then the leg holes are straight across too because I wanted it. Easily these are a tube top and bottom.
