Erica Young: The Woman Behind The Super-Sexy Lingerie Brand Erica M.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You had a serendipitous encounter with Beyoncé which vaulted your young label from cult favorite to bona fide fashion phenomena overnight. Would you like to share with us this experience which only a few talented and lucky designers get to have?

Ms. Erica Young: My beautiful friend Yosra El-Essawy was hired to be her tour photographer a few years ago. She was wearing a pair of my tights while meeting with Beyonce to go over the images she took of the performance the night before. Beyonce complimented my friend on her tights. My friend, being the lovely person she was started gushing about me and my brand.

Beyonce asked if she would ask me to send her some pieces. I sent her the entire collection the very next day! Afterwards, I had the pleasure of meeting her. She is the one of the nicest and humble people I have met. She actually told me I am a talented artist and I could not believe that Beyonce was telling me this! It was one of the most memorable experiences of my career.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us about your Top 3 Erica M. must-haves?

Ms. Erica Young: 1. The Hanako Bodysuit- Pair it with jeans for a sexy casual look or a flirty skirt for a night out. The design is flattering on many body types.
2. The Kai Stockings- These graphically striking thigh highs will add sex appeal to any outfit. Pair them with black pumps to elongate your legs.
3. Hanako Briefs- I wear these with a skirt or dress for comfort. Although they are a brief cut, the woven in design is very sexy and flattering. I have also lounged around the house in these all summer long.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Your photography is very bold. What advice do you wish to give to the women of today to be body confident in order to do such fashion & glamour modeling?

Ms. Erica Young: I love shooting all kinds of women. I don’t stick to a particular look or body type. I see beauty in all of us. Our unique characteristics make us dynamic and I simply want to celebrate them through my designs and my campaign images. I hope that I can inspire people to love themselves and their differences. I always think about how boring this world would be if human beings were really homogeneous. If we all sat and thought about how awful that would be maybe we would appreciate how colorful we are and life is and start celebrating ourselves and one another more.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Who has been your greatest influence and motivator in your success in the field of hosiery designing?

Ms. Erica Young: All the women in my life from my Mother to my friends. Even my seamstress Lucy. Every woman has a story to tell. Every woman wants to feel empowered and sexy. I simply infuse the spirit of the women in my life in all the styles I design.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?

Ms. Erica Young: I love how Womenfitness.net is a site that discusses women’s health. Our health is more important than anything else in our lives and Womenfitness.net creates a space where you can find interesting and informative articles on the topic. We should focus on our beauty within so our beauty can shine outward. One of my favorite quotes is “The body is a sacred garment” said by renowned choreographer Martha Graham in the 1950’s .
