Nude tights, bras and pants are a lifesaver, right? When you’re wearing something sheer or don’t want to show off your legs quite yet, they can turn an outfit into TMI territory to wearable in a jiffie.
Right? Well not so if you’re any colour but the one-tone ‘nude’ that is in shops almost everywhere. But, fear not, Ade Hassan has finally come forward and taken a leap into the market with her lingerie and hosiery line, Nubian Skin which caters to women of colour.
‘For years, I have wanted to walk into a department store and find tights in my colour or a nude bra to wear under a shirt, so the idea was really born out of my own frustration. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur, particularly to start a fashion business but I didn’t want to do clothes. One day, the idea popped into my head. I figured after years of frustration, if no one else was producing what I wanted, perhaps it was time for me to do it.’
‘I definitely didn’t have a history in the lingerie or hosiery business and that was the biggest hurdle to overcome when starting Nubian Skin as I didn’t really know where to start with getting samples made or finding factories. It’s actually pretty easy to start a business in the UK as you can register the company and trademarks online which is amazing for anyone looking to start their own business!’
