About
Vanity Fair
Recognized as one of America’s first intimate apparel brands, Vanity Fair has been synonymous with fashionable, quality lingerie since 1919. Our rich heritage is steeped in creating some of the most iconic lingerie designs in history and was born out of the vision of Founder, John Barbey, who believed that lingerie should be both fashionable and functional.
Meeting the ever-evolving needs of modern women has driven the brand’s innovative style and elegance for the past 100 years and we continue today, while always delivering on our promise to make women feel fabulous. We infuse style, comfort, and quality in every Vanity Fair product because we believe that confidence begins at the innermost layer.

Our
History
Lingerie brands come and go. Some are a flash in the pan, while others stay the course. But very few have the history and staying power of Vanity Fair. Decade after decade, Vanity Fair has been creating innovative lingerie to support women and their lives. Vanity Fair has not only changed with the times, but we have often defined them.
