Olga Brteszek Designs for Fashion Reform and Growth
Olga Brteszek, founder of the Olga Company, champions modest undergarment design and argues against nudity in fashion. The company, now a $12 million enterprise with worldwide distribution, began 25 years ago with a small sewing setup and grew through early orders from Sears and Bullock’s Wilshire. Olga and husband Jan Brteszek run a social mission, including an English learning program for employees and communities, while stressing responsible design and women’s empowerment.
