In 1886, when the firm was a tiny corset factory in southern Germany and launched its first "bust improver", it consisted of six employees and six sewing machines. Who could have imagined then how the idea would take on?
The business is now global and employs 37,500, working in more than 120 countries. And this year Triumph has been named official supplier of underwear at London Fashion Week, which opens on Friday.
To celebrate this, it has also teamed up with designers such as Matthew Williamson and Louise Gray, who have created one-off pieces of Triumph underwear to be auctioned for charity.
These designs will be on show at a special pop-up shop, Maison Triumph, in Monmouth Street in Covent Garden, along with an exhibition of Triumph underwear through the ages.
Maison Triumph is open to the public February 15-19.
