History

Undrest launched its first collection in January of 2007, for the spring/summer 2007. Maria Paz Navales is the founder and designer. Her inspiration for the line comes from various elements such as a 1940’s Austrian bodysuit, colors inspired by Spanish Flamenco posters from the 1930’s, Harper’s Bazaar magazine covers from the 1920’s illustrated by artist/designer Erte, and from her travels to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, being exposed to the local lingerie fashions².
