The Kit—named for the kits, or “little bags of magic,” stylists bring to set with pins, tape, and styling tools—is comprised of “foundational undergarments.'
.” They’re inspired by the items Mizrahi and Harouche had to make themselves or custom-order throughout the years, each with a specific purpose: The X-shaped nipple cover curves to the contour of your breast for the most natural look; the adhesive thong is for high-slit gowns; the body stocking is for sheer “naked dresses”; and the bandage tape can be used in myriad ways to lift and contour the breasts.
“We were always trading our tips and tricks, asking ‘how do you conceal that?’ or ‘where did you have that made?’” Mizrahi says. “Between us, we had so much knowledge and experience dressing women with different body types. We asked ourselves, what are the problem areas women face when they’re purchasing something or packing, and how can we take the guesswork out of it and make it easy?”
One way is with their actual “kits,” which include three or four items you can throw in a suitcase or wear to an event, like the “strapless black-tie kit.” Mizrahi and Harouche will also be posting how-to videos and Q&As online and on The Kit’s Instagram to show you how to use the bandage tape or to explain why the “tap short” is the ideal undergarment for short dresses. “That’s a trick Simone learned from Jennifer Lopez,” Mizrahi adds.
Speaking of celebrity clients—Mizrahi has worked with Katy Perry, Riley Keough, and Nicole Richie, while Harouche is known for styling Miley Cyrus and her longtime friend Kim Kardashian—the duo asked a few of their influential friends and clients to post selfies in The Kit in lieu of a traditional campaign. “We wanted it to be about self-love, with women in control of the photos they’re taking,” Mizrahi says.
