Padma Lakshmi celebrated her highly anticipated collaboration with Bare Necessities last night at the Crosby Street Hotel. The Emmy-nominated producer, best-selling author, and activist was joined by an exclusive group of editors, influencers, industry tastemakers, and the Bare Necessities team, including Pam Rice, chief merchandising officer.
The Padma x Bare Necessities collection, launching on June 6th, marks the brand’s first-ever collaboration. The collection offers a carefully curated selection of lingerie, loungewear, and swimwear designed to empower women at every stage of life. With a focus on inclusivity and comfort, each piece blends luxurious fabrics and intricate designs for a collection that aims to make women feel confident, sexy, and at home in their own skin.
Padma Lakshmi, known for her refined taste and eye for design, infuses the collection with the rich textures, intricate prints, and global influences she’s accumulated over the years. From bold bras and swimsuits to dreamy loungewear and chic cover-ups, the collection offers something for everyone. “Lingerie is such a personal, intimate part of one’s wardrobe,” says Padma. “I’ve modeled a lot of lingerie in my career, and I’m very particular about what works and what doesn’t. When Bare Necessities approached me with the idea, I thought this would be a fun, creative challenge. I wanted a nice mix of everyday staples, as well as a couple of pieces that felt a little dressier and sexy.”
In creating the collection, Padma worked closely with the Bare Necessities team to ensure it would fit a wide variety of body types. “I designed a collection that I feel works on everybody, but I wanted to give special attention to women with a larger bust size,” Padma shares. “I hope the collection encourages women of all ages and sizes to feel sexy and feminine. Lingerie isn’t just the purview of a select demographic of women with one specific body type.”
The Padma x Bare Necessities collection is a celebration of quality, style, and tailored fit. It features pieces designed to suit a range of body shapes and lifestyles, from everyday comfort to sultry elegance.
