There was a time when women, there was

0:02

this cultural shift away from structured

0:04

bra. For 30 years women have been

0:06

wearing structured bras, bras with wires

0:09

in them. And kind of who made that

0:10

popular, the push-up bra, Victoria's

0:12

Secret. But then like, I don't know, 12,

0:14

15 years ago, there was this cultural

0:16

shift towards the bralette. The bralette

0:19

is a bra without wires in it. And so

0:22

like, it's a massive cultural shift that

0:25

women were going through where they were

0:26

going from wired bras to bralettes or in

0:29

some cases no bra at all. So I saw a

0:32

pickup in the number of people using the

0:34

word bralette on social media. And at

0:37

first I was like, what the hell is a

0:39

bralette? And then I realized what it

0:40

was and I went really deep into the

0:42

conversation. I was like, oh man, this

0:45

this is actually a mega cultural shift.

0:48

This is going to be devastating for

0:50

Victoria's Secret and it's going to be

0:51

awesome for Aerie. Aerie was the first

0:53

company to really push bralettes. And so

0:55

yeah, I made a long trade on Aerie, made

0:57

a short trade on Victoria's Secret.

0:59

Again, it's just like seeing the world

1:02

unfold and connecting dots.
