Victoria’s Secret & Naomi Osaka Team Up To Debut Easy, Relaxed Intimates Line
By Alexa Heah, 23 Feb 2023
At just 25 years old, tennis superstar Naomi Osaka has an impressive resumé—four Grand Slam singles titles, two US Open wins, and two Australian Open championships.
As Elle notes, the soon-to-be mother even found the time to open a skincare brand, a talent agency, and a girls’ tennis academy on the side. Now, the equality advocate has teamed up with Victoria’s Secret on a collection inspired by self-love.
The highlight of the capsule is the company’s new Forever Bra, featuring its first-ever bra pad that can be fully recycled within a closed-loop system, developed in partnership with MAS Holdings as a step towards sustainability.
According to the brand, the modal used to make the bras is sourced from responsibly-managed forests. Once used, the pads can be returned to stores to then be reprocessed into materials to make new pads.
Evoking a sense of playfulness and ease, the collection features Osaka at her most natural, with the undergarments inspired by the calmness of sunrises and sunsets in soft tones and patterns to bring about relaxation.
“VS x Naomi Osaka beautifully represents the tranquility and happiness that comes when you take a moment to embrace you—I believe everyone should prioritize self-care,” said Osaka.
“We had a fully immersive design process together where we thoughtfully chose light, soft fabrics in a calm color palette reflective of sunsets and sunrises,” the athlete added.
Fans can choose from intimates to casual sleepwear, such as rompers, robes, and sleep shirts in a variety of pastels ranging from lavender to light jades, muted pinks, and even tie-dye. Each piece comes in sizes XS–XXL, and 34B–40DD for bras.
