Lingerie Briefs ~ by Ellen Lewis

An American Classic ~ Only Hearts

“Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,

And spills the upper boulders in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. . .”

In his poem Mending Walls, Robert Frost queried the necessity of separating individual purpose.  Why not crossover?  Surely there is virtue in sharing each other’s space?  This is not easy, states his neighbor, or so he was taught by his father’s generation.  “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors”

And so the poet laureate laments . . .

“Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That wants it down. . .”

How apt that this American icon’s renowned work came to mind when I recently saw the new collections from the U.S.A. sourced Only Hearts brand, whose creative voice is defined by their trademarked credo INNER OUTERWEAR™.   Witness here their newly launched eyelet jersey crop top and matching boy brief which clearly crosses over from intimate apparel to ready to wear, blurring the dividing line that historically separated these two categories.  For 33 years, this family owned company has built its reputation on breaking down boundaries, mixing lingerie detail into clothing design, and layering delicate as well as functional underpinnings into a woman’s total wardrobe.  Working side by side, Helena and Kaya Stuart have created a lifestyle vision of stylish, sexy pieces that stand seductively alone or merge softly into an integrated fashion statement.  Some barriers are meant to be broken.
