If anything, I love a lingerie brand with personality. Whether it’s provocative or playful, I respect a designer that knows how to clearly translate their vision into an effective campaign. Probably every feature I’ve done in the Gallery shares the common thread of a brand that has gone above and beyond the bland “corporate catalog” images and delivered something magical. In this case, I am sharing a … Read More

It happens to be International Women’s Day as I write this post, and somehow seems incredibly appropriate that I am writing about the brand Suzy Black. The founder of this lingerie label (Diondra Julian) refers to herself as a “Chief Panty Enthusiast, Designer, Wife, Mom and Reveler” so I can’t help but think that she is precisely the type of woman we are celebrating today.

If there’s a lingerie brand that understands opulence, it’s Amoralle. Sweeping gowns, oversized bows, silk, tulle and lace combinations…it’s all there.

Each year, new collections are presented in full glamour with often coquettish, whimsical images. … Read More

I recently attended a workshop for a fascinating new concept called Fashion Feng Shui. At the heart of this practice you learn why you purchase the clothes you purchase, why you purchase certain items and never wear them, and you learn which fashion element best represents your true style and how to use that element to select future fashion purchases. That’s basically the super abbreviated version of … Read More

I sure do appreciate a brand that has personality. I also appreciate a brand that incorporates adorable canines into their campaigns. That’s where the brand Maison Marcy captured my attention. Within moments of seeing their first image, I knew I needed to see more. This is perhaps the first brand I’ve personally featured in the Gallery that designs for both men and women; it’s actually much harder … Read More
