Even though spring is officially here, winter refuses to lay down its sword. Or at least this is the feedback I have had from a good portion of North America and Europe. I have escaped, sitting here in Mexico embraced by bougainvillea, hibiscus, palm trees, lilies. (Ok, I will stop).  Soon, however, flowers will bloom rampantly everywhere; the fragrance and color of which will certainly erase the lingering gloom that has stayed way to long at the party. Flowers dominate fashion for spring 2018, a welcome design theme as we exit darkness and enter brighter days. Large, small, watery, loose, graphic and whimsical they dominate fashion conversation, a particularly viable message in the world of intimate apparel.  In this month’s Fashion Editorial, Stephanie chose to photograph lingerie that gives a hopeful nod to the changing seasons. A lush garden, a single bud, a beautiful bouquet; every piece evokes her perception of the feminine. Inspired by Monet’s water lilies and Klimt’s floral patterns, Stephanie has created a two part series of 15 images captured through her provocative lens. Today, we share the first 8 photographs. Stay tuned for part 2 on Friday.
