About Empress Exotics
Welcome to Empress Exotics, where luxury meets empowerment with a touch of street chic. Founded by Allison Delaughter, better known as Empress, our brand was born to create stunning intimate apparel that makes you feel confident, powerful, and beautiful in your own skin.
Our Mission
At Empress Exotics, we believe every woman deserves to feel like royalty. Our mission is to empower women through exquisite, ethically-produced lingerie that celebrates all body types and embraces the diverse beauty of femininity.
Our Journey
Born on November 14, 1997, in St. Petersburg, Florida, Allison Delaughter, known as Empress, was inspired by her mother, a talented local designer. She developed a passion for fashion early on, and by 16, she was designing and sewing custom pieces like swimsuits, chic short sets, and elegant dresses.
At 18, Allison Delaughter started her journey in the fashion industry by working at her first shop, 1st Impression, in Daytona Beach. This experience honed her skills and solidified her desire to pursue fashion. She eventually made Daytona Beach her home, where she continued to cultivate her craft.
In 2022, at the age of 24, Allison Delaughter opened Empress Exotics Beauty Bar, offering high-quality exotic dance wear at reasonable prices. The store quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional products and unique designs. In 2023, Empress Exotics moved to a new location at 639 North Ridgewood Avenue, Daytona Beach. The new storefront offers a wide array of custom pieces, dancer shoes, custom money bags, and various accessories, including lashes, pasties, pole grip, body oils, and blinged-out fans.
Allison Delaughter's niece, Miya Green, also plays a significant role in the business, bringing her own flair and creativity to the brand. Together, they are a dynamic duo pushing the boundaries of fashion and redefining what it means to feel empowered.
