That greatest of all feminine undergarments, the Bra, now has a pair of infographics worthy of its stature courtesy of Suzi Slavik.  The two graphics show the evolution of the bra since it’s first versions, and how the design has evolved through fittings, fabrics, and various historical milestones.  Suzi was kind enough to send VizWorld an exclusive pair of high-resolution graphics of these for your viewing pleasure, along with these details:

The Evolution of the Bra is a product of an information graphics design course at the Ohio State University based on graphically representing a cycle, evolution or progression.

The first panel is devoted to social influences, industry leaders, and shifts in fashionable silhouettes. The second panel discusses historical milestones, significant fabrics used, and the bra fitting procedure.

Over 4 months of research and re-designs, I presented a micro and macro view of the modern brassiere in my own voice, illustrations, and photography. My main resources were accredited publications, particularly, Uplift: The Bra in America by Jane Farrell-Beck.

See the panels after the break.
