The Woman Who Gave Us the Bra & Published Hemingway

Caresse Crosby, the inventor of the modern bra, redefined women’s fashion when she ditched the restrictive corset and created a revolutionary undergarment. Her bold spirit extended beyond fashion as she and her husband founded Black Sun Press, publishing early works of literary icons like Hemingway and Anaïs Nin. Dubbed the "literary godmother to the Lost Generation," Crosby's influence shaped both art and culture in profound ways.
