Underfashion Club

The Underfashion Club is a non-profit fashion industry group dedicated to "all facets of the intimate apparel industry: foundations, daywear, sleepwear, robes, and loungewear".

Originally established in 1958 as the Corset and Brassiere Women's Club, Inc., in 1963 the group was re-invented as the Underfashion Club. In 2014, Victor Vega was the president. Periodically, the organization holds seminars about the fashion industry by members of the industry, such as Mayouri Sengchanh.

The Underfashion Club annual gala is "recognized as a premier event in the intimate apparel industry."

The Underfashion Club will administer the Mary Krug Scholarship, "which will benefit fashion lingerie students in the intimates field." The scholarship is named after Mary Krug, who served as vice president and divisional merchandise manager of intimate apparel and children’s at the Neiman Marcus Group for 40 years. Krug died in November 2013.

The Underfashion Club established a chair at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

The Underfashion Club awards the Femmy Awards at Cipriani 42 Street in New York. On February 4, 2014, Caroline Rhea will host the event.

Donations raised during the Femmy Gala are used to fund students, who pursue college–level intimate apparel related courses.
