Young Welsh underwear designer wins job with top US firm …

Hannah Thomas need no longer keep her talent under wraps – after being discovered by top fashion brand Abercrombie and Fitch.

The 22-year-old, from the village of Lydart near Monmouth, is to start work for the US retailer this autumn after she impressed the upmarket chain with her lingerie designs.

Hannah, whose parents moved to Wales from Buckinghamshire four years ago, is in the final weeks of her Contour Fashion degree at De Montfort University in Leicester.

The course, which specialises in lingerie, corsetry and swimwear, is the only such course in the world and only offers places to a small number of students.

Hannah’s interest in lingerie began aged 17 when she took a job as a bra-fitter at House of Fraser’s flagship store in Buckinghamshire, but since then has worked on placements at major labels such as River Island and Agent Provacateur.

Her ambition has also seen her fly to Hong Kong to spend a summer at Hong Kong Polytechnic working as a design assistant at a lingerie company.

And her new role comes after she took part in a challenge by the popular American company to design an underwear collection aimed at young women.

To land the post, Hannah had to go through a rigorous round of interviews, including some in America and is now looking forward to starting her two-year contract, designing new lines at the head office of the firm in Ohio.

“Abercrombie and Fitch is such an iconic brand,” Hannah told Wales on Sunday.

“When you walk in the shop, it’s not like any other shop you’ve ever walked into.

“It’s a great company, and so far it seems like an extension of university.

“It’s young and fun and everyone’s been really lovely.”

The company, who employ ‘models’ in their stores to appeal to their young customers, will give Hannah two weeks training.

“They’re an American casual brand and they love detail,” she said.

“I’m looking forward to adding unique twists while still keeping with the brand.”

Hannah’s final university collection was showcased at the university’s contour fashion show in London last week and hinted at the kind of look the label could expect from the young graduate.

“I love really soft fabrics, you wear lingerie so close to the body so it has to be,” she said.

“I used lace in scallop and eyelash edge with black, copper and a metallic sheen.

“There was velvet because I think it’s so decadent, and lots of lightweight chiffon – I love the way it moves.”

Charnos is also making a collection of her shapewear – it’s now being made in Thailand and due to be on the shelves by winter and Hannah says she is looking forward to adding to the growing amount of choice in women’s lingerie.

“The market has really grown, but the average woman still doesn’t know about the products out there,” she said.

“I love designing for all shapes and sizes.

“In lingerie, you need curves.”

Hannah is now looking forward to spending some time at home in Wales “it’s so relaxing and such a contrast from the madness of university,” before flying out to the states to begin her career this October.

“I’d love to start my own label one day,” she said.

“But of course I’ve just started and I have student loans to pay off!

“One day I’d love to see someone like Lady Gaga or Rihanna wearing my work.”
