Our Story
Ai Akinaa Clothing was founded in 2020 by Akina Cooper, passionate advocate for body positivity and self-love, driven by her own journey of self-acceptance and empowerment. At the age of 22, she found herself grappling with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, weighing just 98 pounds and struggling to fit into clothing. Constantly confronted by societal standards that dictated what beauty and allure should look like, she felt a profound disconnection between her self-image and the world around her.
This experience ignited a spark within her—an unwavering determination to create change not just for herself, but for countless other people who felt pressured to conform to unrealistic ideals. She began to wonder how many others stared into mirrors, feeling less than enough, burdened by the weight of societal expectations. The question lingered in her mind: How many people were suffering in silence, too small or too large, never able to find clothing that made them feel beautiful or comfortable?
In an empowering act of defiance, she vowed to step far beyond her comfort zone, fueled by the belief that the ultimate expression of confidence and self-love could be found in the delicate, intimate world of lingerie. Thus, Ai Akinaa Clothing was born—an empowering brand that boldly advocates for body positivity and self-acceptance. Her mission is clear: to remind every individual that they are beautiful and worthy, regardless of their shape, size, or background.
Through her line, she has made it her priority to challenge the harmful narratives that perpetuate self-hate and body shaming. She emphasizes that it is time for everyone to embrace their so-called “imperfections” and “flaws,” reframing these traits as unique attributes that contribute to their beauty. Every piece of lingerie she designs is a celebration of diversity, a call to action for self-love, and a promise that beauty comes in all forms.
Her heartfelt journey resonates with many, and through her work, she continues to inspire individuals to break free from the constraints of societal beauty norms. She believes passionately that it is time to declare, loud and proud, that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE WORTHY, YOU ARE ENOUGH and YOU MATTER. With this powerful message at the forefront of her brand, she is committed to fostering a community where everyone can love themselves authentically, paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future in the fashion industry.
