How hating pantyhose in summer helped make Spanx founder Sara Blakely a billionaire
Before more or less creating the modern shapewear industry, Spanx founder Sara Blakely was just a recent college graduate selling fax machines door-to-door. The job required her to dress professionally, and back in the 90’s that meant pantyhose – even in hot, humid Florida weather. To say things got a little sticky for Blakley is an understatement. The Florida State University grad hated being encased from her waist to the tips of her toes in nylon, especially when she was wearing open-toed shoes. So, she came up with a crafty fix that also had the slimming effects of pantyhose. Her solution built an empire.
