2012 is Maidenform's 90th anniversary year and the brand officially kicked it off during this Oscar season. Since 1922 Maidenform has provided innovative intimate apparel solutions that empower and shape women from the inside out. Today Maidenform is a leader in its category designing America's #1 t-shirt bra, becoming the global leader in shapewear, and is now recognized as a major go-to brand for Hollywood stylists.

"Berenice looked incredible last night, we're excited that she chose to wear a bra from our Pure Genius collection.  Maidenform has been shaping and supporting women for 90 years. What a great way to begin such a special year for our brand," explains Maidenform CEO Maurice Reznik.

Maidenform, with design collaboration from Janie Bryant, unveiled a limited edition capsule collection at their appointment-only Oscar styling suite as a tribute to their 90th anniversary. The luxurious look and feel of these elegant styles are undoubtedly worthy of the red carpet. Emmy award winner and Mad Men Costume Designer Janie Bryant has been collaborating with Maidenform for nearly two years and has lent her industry and period expertise in touting the legacy of the brand.  A 90th anniversary collection will be available in department stores nationwide later this year.
