Having worked in the couture fashion world, with some PR and marketing experience, Stephi knew exactly what it would take to create something truly unique. She pulled together the ultimate dream team, along with the right products and the perfect space to open the first Blushington Makeup &amp; Beauty Lounge in West Hollywood, CA, in 2011.

After graduation, Marissa and Lauren decided to pursue their respective careers in brand consulting and finance but quickly began to miss the very thing that connected them: fashion. Beginning with late night classes at FIT while continuing to work full-time, the two aspiring founders learned as much as they could over the course of four years before deciding to dedicate their careers and know-how to solve a common everyday problem: finding lingerie that fit well, felt comfortable, but also made women feel beautiful. In 2013, the duo founded <a href="http://negativeunderwear.com/" target="_self">Negative Underwear</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/negativeunderwear/" target="_self">@negativeunderwear</a>), which subsequently launched in February 2014.</p>
