Last night driving through a wicked snowstorm in New Hampshire I was struck first, by the unbelievable beauty of the whiteout that surrounded my car and second, how dangerous it was. My wipers were freezing over and no one had plowed. Thank goodness for the rear lights on the car I was following. The dichotomy of the moment was not lost on my creative conscience. How often in life does one situation counter-balance another? A month ago I was ensconced in 80° temperatures in Cabo San Lucas, soaking in tropical sunsets and vibrant colors. The only thing that was white in that dimension was the clouds and sand. I absolutely never wanted to leave. Then last night’s winter dreamscape and the warm fireside that followed that treacherous ride reminded me that there are always two sides to a story. In Asian philosophy, the harmony of these opposing forces is referred to as Yin and Yang.
This is the very first thought I had when I saw Fortnight’s newest incarnation of their Mira slip. Already an established key item, the original black version tells a very different tale than the silvery white combination delivering now. Constructed with a wireless bra in sizes S-XL, this style is engineered to embrace a woman’s curves by juxtaposing a sumptuous lace with a slinky sleek fabric. There is a reason why this item has become a best seller for this Toronto based lingerie brand. From stunning siren to classy bride, Fortnight has successfully crafted a slip that serves multiple wardrobe functions. It just depends on what side of her personality she chooses to expose.
