Dear Kate, an underwear company based in NYC, is putting its own spin on supporting women in tech by photographing female tech CEOs in their underwear. The photographs were for a lookbook celebrating Dear Kate's newest line, dubbed the Ada collection after the famous female tech entrepreneur Ada Lovelace. The campaign images feature female CEOs from tech startups including Skillcrush, CoderDojo NYC, Black Girls Code and LadyBits alongside fashion and beauty blogger Sarah Conley and Refinery29 engineer Patty Delgado, all modeling underwear from the new collection. The lookbook was shot in Refinery's NYC offices.
