(Filed Under wholesale Shapewear News). Yummie by Heather Thomson has introduced a new collection, Pretty Powerful, that the company says it constructs with a Lycra “state-of-the-art shaping fabric” that is “designed to improve the effectiveness of shapewear while delivering sculpting, smoothing, comfort and style.” There are four styles in the collection (joining many others the company offers) which retail from $42 to $88. The black and nude designs are offered in sizes XS to XL and “will be sold at major department stores, specialty stores and are already selling at www.YummieLife.com.

“Our focus is on an elegant, lean line where soft structure and movement matter,” explained designer and CCO Thomson. “Revolutionary advancements in fabric technology allow us to reach a synergy between respect for past traditions in shapewear coupled with high fashion for beautiful results.” She claims the collection represents “the ultimate in innovative materials and modern design.” Since the launch of the brand in 2008, the designer has continued to modify and expand her offerings to now even include denim and ready to wear lines. She has obtained a number of patents and in 2011 the company that owns the brand won a $6.75 million settlement from Maidenform ending a patent infringement and invalidity legal battle between the two companies. Today, Yummie boasts “distribution agreements in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and Austria as well as extensive sales in the Benelux and more than 20 other countries.”
