By your emotional seductive brand story and convincing product technology. Roman Muehlmeier, CEO of MUEHLMEIER, is known in the industry as a strong believer in branding and the power of professional marketing. He is restless in the search of new ways to promote the benefits of his own products as well as the products of his partners. Shortly before departing to the Interfilière Paris 2014, we had the chance for an inspiring talk with Mr. Muehlmeier. Mr. Muehlmeier. Last year you shook things up with your new “The Secret behind Her Secret” campaign. Tell us, did things work out as planned? First of all, “The Secret behind Her Secret” is not just a campaign. It’s a communication strategy that has become the core of our marketing-philosophy. And in this best sense the core of our product strategy. Everything we do now is built around the truth that we support our partners with the best Bra-Cups` breast enhancements available. We add technology to fashion, we take the feel of “great fit” to the look. And as lingerie is every woman’s little secret, our Bra-Cups are even more “The Secret behind Her Secret.” MR. MUEHLMEIER IS A RESTLESS INNOVATOR AND A LEADING THINKER ON THE EDGE OF MARKETING, ENGINEERING AND FASHION. 6 EDITORIAL Clearly, that makes sense. But how was the reaction of your partners and customers? The impact was huge and it is still growing. As you will see on the showcase ads in this magazine, a lot of our partners are taking advantage of our Co-Branding-Strategy. They use it for their communication in the leading international fashion magazines and they are starting to bring it to the point of sale as well. We are all really excited and can’t wait for the next steps. That makes us curious. Can you tell us a little bit more about the things to come? First, the offer to the female consumers has to refer to latest market data out of the Lingerie and Swimwear branch. The renowned German magazine “Textilwirtschaft” has recently published its TW-Study Bodywear Woman 2014 regarding the product-expectations on the POS. The retailers state “fitting form” and “material quality” with 74% and 50% as the absolute “must have” for consumer preference. Magnified is this request for bras, “fitting every breast” by the ongoing demand for size assortments including D-Size and more. This trend is rising on an all European level by 10% per 2 years. Let’s face it, the support and optimized form of the bust is achieved by Modern Bra-Cup Technology. Basis is the reliable Hot-Moulding machinery for PU-foam and the fully automatized and computerized CNC-alu-mould production. Exact scanning ref. fast duplication of breast shapes is the core competence, which MUEHLMEIER has developed to an art. We want our brand customers to feel at ease, that they have the strongest partner at their side to win women all around the world with the best fitting Bra-Cups in their bras. Hard facts and continuous innovations that only the “Engineers of Bodyshaping” can provide. So you will increase your focus on the rational arguments of female consumer satisfaction? individual support for our partner’s individual needs for product promotion. Can you give us some examples?

The dream of infinite youth is the fuel that powers the modern cosmetics industry. Looking young and healthy has become the new signal of success, aside from topping designer clothes and expensive convertibles. The latest breakthroughs in microbiology result in a wide range of new cosmetic products, which indeed can slower the process of skin aging. Based on this knowledge, MUEHLMEIER brings skin care and anti-aging close to the heart and the breast. Their revolutionary M-Tec® DERMO Cups provide permanent skin care for shining beauty - integrated in the cup. No lotion, no oil to put on. The DERMO Cup is the most convenient and time saving way for modern women to care for their skin. DERMO Cups use proven hightech materials with microencapsuled cosmetics enclosed. M-Tec® DERMO Cups are available in four different versions, matching the individual needs of women: M-Tec® DERMO Cup ANTI-AGING M-Tec® DERMO Cup FIRMING HH60125-mNL HH60125-mFL GOLD STANDS FOR STABILITY, ALSO FOR THE SKIN KEEPING THE NATURAL BREAST CONTOUR Nylgold, woven inside the Bra-Cup is an ultrasoft, antiaging polyamide microfibre, that bonds two deluxe ingredients: gold and hyaluronic acid. In contrast to ordinary cosmetics, Nylgold acts directly on the skin cells, stimulating their own hyaluronic acid production achieving moisturizing, firming and antioxidant properties. This M-Tec® DERMO Cup fights the loss of skin firmness, a typical sign of aging. It helps preserving the natural breast shape. While wearing, the built-in Novarel Firming microfibres constantly release retinol, ceramids and fatty acids to the skin in a controlled way. Thanks to innovative microcapsule technology the firming effect is lasting for up to 100 washes.

Unlike other technologies, which add Aloe Vera only through surface treatments, this M-TEC® DERMO CUP has a permanent effect that persists more than 100 washes. The Oil of Robert Blondel Cosmètiques is a breakthrough in keeping and regaining beautiful breasts. With Rejuvenating Oil enclosed in the fibers of the fabric, the dermocosmetic and volume effects can unfold - while wearing the bra - directly to the breast.

For 2014, the latest iteration of M-Tec® UN_WIRED Bra-Cups comes with a more narrow shape, to bring the breast more forward while obtaining the plus in comfort of a wireless Bra-Cup.

M-Tec® UN_WIRED / TEXTILE ENFORCED - a woven or non-woven strong enforcement to stabilize the bottom part of the cup. This technique is available in “normal” curvature or in the new version in NARROW CURVATURE (see cup on the left side). M-Tec® UN-WIRED / ERGONOMIC - a polycarbonate shovel - available also in a soft version - forms the cup into the optimum ergonomic curvature. Instead of a traditional wire, a special structured PES textile enforcement is moulded between the foam. 12 MUEHLMEIER BRA CUP INSIDE THE SECRET BEHIND HER SECRET. The M-Cup PUSH TO FIT W EWRWM.

To match the industry’s demand for a high class Bra-Cup with a great “Real Breast Feel” at a reasonable price, MUEHLMEIER was looking for the right formula for a new M-Tec® Bra-Cup with “Breastlike Texture”.

After revealing and launching “The Secret behind her Secret” Co-Branding strategy in 2013, MUEHLMEIER is ready to take it to the next level. Here comes the female’s preference for “best-fit” bras … and this loud call is heard by MUEHLMEIER to offer the “best-fitting-Bra-Cups” ever. For years, at MUEHLMEIER they are strong ambassadors of professional marketing and keep open minds for new ideas and approaches. Therefore, they think way beyond their own sales process in the components field. They always had more than an eye to consumers The Bra-Cup has the decisive potential to magically adapt the ideal breast form.

The typical brand is very busy to position their “undies” between for instance “seductive femininity” and “puristic stylish” . In reality, the practically minded “working mums” and striving young ladies are more and more focused on wearing comfortable undergarments. 16 They need convincing arguments why consumers should choose their brand. MUEHLMEIER can help to deliver these arguments and explain “The Secret behind her Secret”, built into the Bra. MUEHLMEIER CCC shows and explains the added value of special BraCups by Co-Branding labels, posters and displays. Communicating the special Bra-Cup benefits in consumer magazines together with the brand stays the basis of these efforts.

So this means aiming for the special needs in retail, too. “We do not hesitate to get in touch with retailers and to listen to their input as often as possible. Typically, they also have the last and often biggest impact on the purchase decision.” The most popular example for support on the Pos. Hang-Tags especially designed for the brand.
