Love Me Sugar ~ Lingerie For Your Eyes

Designer Mademoiselle Sugar (Natalie Vella) is an Australian artist and designer living and working in Paris, France. After arriving in Paris almost four years ago doing a variety of things including film making, teaching English and coordinating a film festival, Love Me Sugar was born in 2010 out of Natalie’s passion for sleep masks, a lingerie item that she cannot live without.  When she couldn’t find an ideal sleepmask – one that was luxurious as well as adjustable, Natalie turned to designing her own sleepmask collection  fueled by her inspiration of Marlene Dietrich, vintage films and movie stars of yesteryear. Love Me Sugar is an official sponsor of the upcoming Lingerie Designer Showcase

The utmost attention is paid to high quality and authentic workmanship, trying to reproduce as close as possible the craft that was put into mid-century clothing.

Indie Discoveries

Good Night Gildagood night gilda

GNG is a luxe lingerie line specializing in full cup bras and fine sleepwear designed and produced locally in Los Angeles. The idea to satisfy the unfulfilled niche in lingerie that caters to bustier women came when Whitney Galitz, founder and CEO, was shopping for herself. As a full-cup customer, she never ceased to struggle when trying to find a beautifully designed, sexy bra that fit comfortably and looked incredible. So Good Night Gilda was born, a product line catering specifically to buxom women everywhere who have a personality and want to buy well-designed, high-end lingerie that has a personality too. The line includes vintage-inspired bras, foundation, and sleepwear, in a variety of styles and colors. All GNG lingerie is made with luxurious fabrics, quality trim, and above all, love!

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.
