Flashforward/ Flashback – Knickerocker Rocks The Classic Applique Bow
Remember my post about Trompe L’oeil in reference to Schiaperelli a while back? Here is a perfect example in both vintage and modern lingerie. Bows that are not bows in function or really in any way other than “shape”.
Flashback: Classic 1930’s girdle from the McCord Museum’s archives features a gorgeous example of trompe l‘oeil applique in a pink satin on lighter pink ground.
Flashforward: Knickerocker’s edgy and vintage inspired stretch lace hi waist in lovely contrasting lace colors, plays up the applique and the cheeky attitude with the bows back placement. Styled in an uber-vintage pink bathroom its almost hard to tell its not a vintage piece!
