Challenge Boundaries

When I was an Art History major at The University of Pennsylvania, I learned that color and shape are very powerful tools.   One of my favorite artists was Georgia O’Keefe, a master with this medium.  She challenged the boundaries of American Art.  O’Keefe’s genius was her ability to focus on the detail of an object and magnify it so that it became the entire message. Sometimes it was the simple outline of a flower petal; sometimes it was the color of the petal itself.  Her paintings were intimate, feminine and very modern.  She was a pioneer in the Art world.

 I was reminded of this when I saw the Midnight Collection last week at The Carole Hochman Design Group in N.Y C.  Carole has taken her vision of an ageless contemporary woman and created a sexy sleepwear collection in a soft modal fabric that drapes a woman’s body.   Individual details are precisely placed to enhance the female form. They fit a variety of female shapes.  The pure and sophisticated colors elevate this collection to a new frontier of Intimate Apparel.  These pieces are relevant beyond the bedroom.  They challenge the boundaries of lingerie.
