A lingerie brand is taking a new spin on the term nude, debuting skin colored hosiery for darker skin tones.
Nubian Skin is redefining what nude means in the beauty market, by catering to darker complexions. The line, which will features bras, panties and knickers in flesh colors, will be available in plain and lacy designs.
The darkest shade is ‘Berry’, which the brand suggests would best suit women who wear foundations such as Mac NW50, Bobbi Brown Espresso 10 and Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint in Beige 90.
In the company’s blog, the founder spoke about her designs and bridging the gap in the lingerie market: “My nude isn’t the nude I see in shops. Despite the reality that women of colour have the same needs as all women when it comes to lingerie and hosiery, the industry simply doesn’t cater to us. So, I thought, it’s time to rethink the definition of nude. Thus, Nubian Skin was born.”
The bras will range from 30B to 36E, with a wider range expected at a later date.
The line will be available for purchase in October.
