The Bra Top Briefing

A Show Of Support

It’s a feeling familiar to so many women: you come home after a long day, and the door has barely clicked shut before you’ve ripped off your constricting, claustrophobic bra. Well here at Collagerie we’ve had our fill of discomfort, so we’ve turned to a new support system: a range of clever basics with built-in structure – no visible lines or restrictive straps, just effortless style and elegant silhouettes in one comfortable, confidence-building package.

Over 20 years of innovation have gone into creating the smart staples in UNIQLO’S Bra Top collection, from the game-changing breathable fabric with its smooth, lightweight feel, to the mix of styles that runs from elevated camisoles and sporty crop tops to relaxed tanks and tees. Forget shapewear, this is Lifewear – quality clothing made to improve the experience of getting dressed. Welcome to style that makes you feel truly supported…

Lucinda Chambers, Collagerie Co-Founder and CCO

“Vacations are all about freedom, and the same goes for holiday style. Whether I’m sightseeing, shopping or beach-bound, I want looks that feel effortless – billowing shorts, a flowing maxi dress or the clean lines of my racer-back bra top. Packing fresh, lightweight pieces in tonal shades takes all the heat out of holiday dressing.”

Daniëlle Verdoes, Digital Content Designer

“My summers are split between working in London and trips home to family in Amsterdam, so I need essentials that can do both office-smart and off-duty, with the built-in flexibility that regular travel demands. The pieces in my wishlist have clever little touches – from delicate tie details to the hidden support of my camisole bra top – simplifying everyday dressing, wherever I wake up!”

Grace Hitchman, Brand Partnerships Manager

“I’ve always loved keeping fit – it’s how I shake off stress and get that serotonin lift – so I’m endlessly on the hunt for work-hard, play-hard pieces that will take me from spin class to party in the park. The last thing I want is awkward, uncomfy kit, so I’m loving my new ribbed bra top – a design that really goes the distance without distracting me from my step count!”

Serena Hood, Collagerie Co-Founder and CEO

“I’m lucky enough to enjoy to the lifestyle mix of motherhood and career, and that requires a wardrobe which spans a wide range of moods and moments. Versatility and ease are the key components I look for, so I’m obsessed by the featherlight feel of my AIRism sleeveless bra top – a staple that ensures I keep my cool from parent-teacher meetings to major team talks.”

Pom Carleton-Smith, Brand & Content Director

“This summer finds me doing the daily commute with an extra passenger on board: I’m carrying my first baby! So I’m craving comfort-first designs which adapt to my changing shape without giving up on style. My wishlist picks tick all the right boxes – from the stretchy waist of my culottes to the built-in structure of my knit bra top – delivering the essential support I need and the carefree chic I adore.”

Lucielle Venasquez, Marketing Manager

“Sprinting across town, jumping on the Tube, hopping in a cab… my work-and-play lifestyle finds me constantly on the go, so I’m always on the look-out for designs that deliver ease of movement and an air of crisp, fuss-free chic. Add air travel into the picture, when comfort is key, and a UNIQLO bra top becomes a stylish no-brainer!”
