Nadia speaks with lingerie designer Adrina Graham about overcoming obstacles to help women live their 'breast' lives.

Her brand, Adrina Dietra, is a luxury lingerie brand striving to offer quality garments and accessories in both a ready to wear as well as a made-to-measure platform, small batch natural apothecary goods, and coordinating zero waste products. Adrina talks about her design aesthetic, her life experiences, and how she is using her business as a platform to give back to the community.

CORRECTION: The “Be Perfectly Imperfect” Triangle bra and the “Praise Your Quirks” thong are not Adrina’s own design, but actually belong to the Underargument, one of the amazing brands Adrina has started carrying in her shop to keep up with demand.
