Transition ~ A Change is in the Air

November 29, 2020

By TINA WILSON

For Love and Lemons pajama as illustrated by Tina Wilson for Lingerie Briefs

My first real encounter with the term ”transition” in fashion was being summoned from my perch just outside of Calvin’s office and into his. His private office was somewhere between a large studio apartment and an upstairs art gallery dotted with white minimal furniture. My time there at 205 West 39thstreet was the era of his “Obsession” perfume and the height of Calvin Klein jeans.  It was the debut of his underwear and hence the reason for my being there, that was my job.… Read More

Tina Wilson Illustrates the Power of the Vote, which lingerie to wear to the polls all featured on Lingerie Briefs

Long lines, voter suppression, voter aggression and intimidation, it’s enough to make you want to stay home…Do not be deterred. Democracy needs you.  Women can be the voice that brings us out of the abyss. Women have so much to lose so we must show up.

Which brings us to what to wear, when voting?

It never mattered before. It does now.  A women’s guide to dressing for the vote is in order.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg ~ Fashionable Dissent

September 23, 2020

By TINA WILSON

Ruth Bader Ginsburg collars as illustrated by Tina Wilson for Lingerie Briefs

My first thoughts upon hearing that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away were selfish. They were not reflections on her resting in peace, of the loss for her family and colleagues or the end to her suffering but thoughts of my own personal melancholy. I dwelled on how we are so fu*ked with the imminent possibility of a judge who will be selected and vetted solely along partisan lines and certainly not by the content of their character.  I have since pulled myself together and have begun to grieve for the woman, the icon, and the queen of modern-day dissent.… Read More


Escape From Reality ~ Surreal Lingerie

August 28, 2020

Fashion Illustrations of Surreal Lingerie by Tina Wilson as featured on Lingerie Briefs

Our collective reality has set in. We are discovering hobbies, crafts and cooking and reacquainting ourselves with nature. We have put experiences above the material, will it last? What’s next?

I’m betting on the next phase, the phase we are entering, now that  the reality of covid life has sunk in. This new phase will be a time of escapism, fantasy, and surrealism.  A the time where we begin to rebel, where our physical confinement loses out to our imaginations. There are no other options and it will be an interesting opportunity for some.… Read More

Tina Wilson illustrates 'Revelations' on Lingerie BriefsBy TINA WILSON

Been having a lot of these lately. The definition of a 1. rev-e-la-tion is …a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way. It’s safe to say we are in the middle of a full blown revelation.

Noteworthy for me:
– Travelling is no longer my favorite thing.
– The world is more connected than I ever imagined.
– A lot of damage to the world can be done by a single human being.
– Wash your hands…all the time and water is life.… Read More


Protest, Prayer and Peace

Tina Wilson Illustrates Nubian Skin, black owned lingerie company, featured on Lingerie Briefs

“Protest, Prayer and Peace” that was the theme for the songs being played on my favorite radio station WBGO,  in the midst of the nationwide protests against brutality. With each song they played I felt prouder, angrier, happier, and yes….sadder. You don’t have to be Black in America to be going through so many different emotions, we all are. But if you are Black, the stakes are different, period.

In the scheme of things, fashion and anything connected to consumption other than food seems a bit trivial, but what is not trivial is that we all need to make a living, we all need to support our families and our communities.… Read More

There is a great deal of talk about comfort. All apparel is now comfortable according to the brands that deliver loungewear, sleepwear, underwear, sportswear, footwear and just about everything else one can think of.

Fashion Illustrations of caftans, Kimonos and wraps as featured on Lingerie Briefs

Comfort can come in many forms. I crave the comfort of a text message from someone I have not seen in months. I need the comfort of seeing my great nieces and nephews on Facetime. The comfort of a familiar t-shirt from the 80’s cannot be underestimated or the comforting feeling of cooking a long slow meal on a Sunday night.… Read More
