Primordial Lingerie ~ Obsidian

June 18, 2012

When I first looked at the Obsidian brand, Elle Macpherson’s ultra sophisticated collection of luxury intimates, I was reminded of the way certain minerals  offer such an intricate array of visually intriguing details.  Some people collect these rocks as works of art.

I am intrigued by the unique way Elle highlights this brand, always using her personal design signature, a touch of turquoise embedded in an all neutral palette.  But it’s the exclusive laces and embroideries that are truly inspirational.

This is an explosive assortment of exquisite intimates with a dynamic edge.   How fitting that this style is called Raquel.  It reminds me of the powerhouse sensuality of Raquel Welch.

What is Design Lab?

The Design Lab is a creative laboratory dedicated to uncovering new talent and new ideas in the intimate world of lingerie. It could be an indie talent struggling for exposure, or an innovation in textiles destined to impact merchandising and design. Perhaps it is a new product from old friends, the tried and true vendors that form the infrastructure of our industry. Whatever I find, the Design Lab is a place for artistry and imagination to percolate and be discovered.
