Womanhood

A brand identity for a lingerie retailer championing body confidence for real women.

Womanhood is the new, modern and inclusive lingerie store stocking brands designed by women, for women. Recognising the lingerie industry was in need of a shake-up, founder Tanya Robertson wants to inspire women to feel great in their own skin—no matter their shape, type or style.

The Womanhood belief is that we shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort in order to look and feel good, nor should we sacrifice style to feel good. And lingerie definitely isn’t about gratifying the male gaze. The brand stands for representation, authenticity and women reclaiming their bodies. My brief was to create an identity that inspires self-love whilst celebrating the empowering diversity of all women.

Lingerie is synonymous with flirty and seducing silhouettes but there’s a new demand to reflect more diverse shapes and sizes. Using hand-drawn illustration we played with the idea that nobody needs to look or be a certain way to wear a Womanhood piece.

The hand-lettered signatures pattern is used as a central design asset to invite all women to feel included and empowered by our brand whilst championing the message that there is no single definition of how we should look or how we should be. Other visual styles such as torn papers, inks and collages further helps us celebrate how imperfectly perfect we women are.
