Less is More ~ Moons and Junes Lingerie

January 12, 2021

Moons and Junes Juno braletteas featured on Lingerie Briefs

I first noticed the Moons and Junes collection in Paris last year at the Salon International de la Lingerie. It was part of the anthology of Indie brands curated for its unique design attitude. Its Danish heritage spoke for itself, clean, comfy and unapologetically natural. I spent some time recently chatting with the brand’s founder, Agnete Bjerre-Madsen, the 26 year old entrepreneur who launched Moons and Junes in 2017. Agnete is part of the cadre of young women who were fed up with the push up bra mentality and wanted underwear that conformed to her own body shape.… ...Read more

Editor’s Picks ~ World in Bloom by Elena Romero

January 10, 2021

By ASI EFROS

Elena Romero, graphic and textile designer, as featured on Lingerie Briefs

Meet Elena Romero, a graphic and textile designer, whose unique artistic language fascinates the imagination. Exceptional is Elena’s poetry in paint, with the elegant dance of floral blooms, ripened color palette, intricately shaped strokes, and lakes of watercolor reflecting the sunset. 

“My creative process always starts with a question, which is followed by the search for information and reference material…then paper and pencil…something always comes up. I am inspired by a walk in the countryside, a painting in a museum, a good book, a song, a talk with my children,” says Elena.… ...Read more

Original Art ~ Bordelle Lingerie

October 19, 2020

By ELLEN LEWIS

Bordelle Lingerie as featured on Lingerie Briefs

In the world of fine art, there are pioneers whose visions initiate trends and then there are those that interpret their styles. Whole genres are created as a result.  Picasso and Cubism. Monet and Impressionism, Pollack and Abstract Expressionism, Dali and Surrealism. I could go on, but I am sure you get the point. In the world of designer lingerie, Bordelle holds the crown. The impact of their luxury strapping technique has reverberated throughout the industry. What sets Bordelle apart is their ability to sustain the brand DNA,  and still evolve their products from a solitary bondage message to a integrated wardrobe accessory. … ...Read more

Lucy Jones Lingerie ~ A British Revival

October 5, 2020

Lucy Jones Lingerie silk skater dress as featured on Lingerie Briefs

I’ve been mulling over how to present Lucy Jones Lingerie, the British heritage brand that was re-launched in 2019, 30 years after its original entrance into the luxury lingerie market. Considering the seismic shift in the current retail landscape, one might say that timing is a problem; but I think not. Lucy’s eponymous collection, sold in the 1980’s to a bevy of renown high end stores, was consistently heralded by the fashion press and was a go to choice for celebrities.… ...Read more

Nevaeh Lingerie ~ A Boudoir Paradise

August 24, 2020

By ELLEN LEWIS

Nevaeh Luxury Boudoir Lingerie as featured on Lingerie Briefs

In 2013 I met Melissa Franchi, founder and creative director of Nevaeh Intimates, a luxury boudoir collection that completely captures  her perspective on the true essence of lingerie. It is an artful composite of the energy and glamour inherent in the New York City lifestyle: bold, beautiful, erotic, and elegant.

Initially, what struck me most was Melissa’s fortitude. She was working out of a “hole in the wall” office space, more like a closet, while holding a full-time job.… ...Read more

HERVÉ by Celine Marie as featured in the Gallery on Lingerie Briefs

I’m always on the hunt for lingerie that’s inspiring or unusual because it brings me great joy to share these findings with all of you!  Recently, I came upon this image of Threnody in Velvet wearing HERVÉ by Celine Marie and it immediately became one of my high priority discoveries to share.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been quick to share the work of HERVÉ by Celine Marie.  In fact, I first featured the brand in our Gallery over a year ago.… ...Read more

Hadley Smythe ~ Bonjour Tristesse

July 27, 2020

By ALISON CONNOLLY

Hadley Smythe swimwear & bodywear as featured on Lingerie Briefs

In the absence of being able to travel to beautiful, distant locations, we can still rely on feeling inspired by images and words. In the case of UK designer Hadley Smythe, her latest collection was inspired by a time and a place; the 1950s French Riviera.  More specifically, her designs were inspired by one of her favorite books, the 1954 Francoise Sagan novel Bonjour Tristesse.

Dramatic and luxurious, Hadley Smythe swimwear features ultra-feminine shapes that accentuate the curves of the female form and by default highlight a woman’s sensuality.… ...Read more
