Underfashion's Untold Story, With Designer and Author Christina Erteszek

I have a fascinating fearless expert to share with you. Christina
Erteszek is the author of a new book The First Lady of
Underfashions. As the daughter of founders of an innovative
lingerie business: The Olga Company, Christina shares this memoir
with excerpts from her parents’ Jan and Olga's private papers — a
true family saga! 


Her parent’s story is inspiring. Jan and Olga escaped from World
War II Europe and arrived in the US with just a few dollars. They
turned their paltry savings into a multi-million-dollar fashion
business. That's an interesting enough story, but there is so
much more to it!


At 14:17 min in, hear Christina Erteszek share an insight into
her father's fashion process


"My Father said his favorite thing to do was to go to the sales
 table, because he always liked to look at what didn't sale
- why didn't it work? Maybe it had a great idea, but it was also
in a colour that was not attractive, so that good idea could not
be discovered. So, it's exploring , it's like when you take a
hike and you look for that heart rock... and if you keep on
looking you find it."
