Andrew Christian launched his eponymous fashion range in 1997 in California. He began by doing sportswear, but business was slow.
Then he branched out into swimwear, and then in the late 00s he started selling underwear and the business exploded. He’s now best known for his underwear but his new swimwear designs are always popular.
A post shared by Nasty Pig (@nastypig)New York-based fashion brand Nasty Pig was launched by Frederick Kearney and David Lauterstein in 1994.
It began by selling clubwear and items in leather and rubber but has greatly expanded, selling clothing that often features a fetish twist.
