Today we’d like to introduce you to Stefanie Mnayarji.
Stefanie, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I am a London School of Economics trained economist turned lingerie designer. I left a career in quantitative finance to fill a void in the market for an alternative to shapewear aka “sausage casing for women.” I wanted to help women focus on reshaping the world, not their bodies. My designs focus on function, comfort and luxury.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
Designing lingerie is a delicate balancing act between function and beauty. For all of human existence, women have compromised comfort to look good. I believe discomfort is a distraction and our clothing is holding us back in more than one way. I wanted to create a layer that would drape women in silk all day, so they can continue with global domination.
Do current events, local or global, affect your work and what you are focused on?
Globally, the role of artists is more important today than ever before. You can’t code art. A robot cannot inspire art. I believe with the wave of new technology coming in, artists will become more and more valued as they are a reminder of our humanity.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
