Spanx Turns 10! What Are Your Favorite Spanx Memories?
Oct 14, 2010 @ 2:05 pmTo celebrate the now-iconic shapewear brand Spanx hitting their 10-year mark today, we thought about having some birthday cake, then donning our favorite body-shaper to reign in the cake’s effect. Instead, we took a strictly by-the-numbers look at the undergarments that truly launched a fashion revolution.
1: Name-check in Sex and the City 2, by Miranda (Cynthia Nixon).
2: Sizes Andy (Anne Hathaway) appears to drop thanks to the brand’s Power Panties in The Devil Wears Prada.
3: Shout-outs in the pages of InStyle from celebs: Jessica Alba, Jenna Fisher and Molly Shannon.
8: Hours needed to produce a typical piece.
30: Phone calls per month, on average, from celebrities or their stylists requesting product.
5,000: Dollars of her own money founder Sara Blakely invested to start the company.
20,000+: Power Panties sold on the day Oprah announced that she’d “given up panties” and was solely wearing PP instead.
