Becky’s photo editorial, Sexy at Any Age, struck me as a perfect expose for the brands showcased here. Clearly, these images prove that “age is just a number”. We take for granted in our youth-oriented culture that well-made lingerie is the providence of the young. From full fit foundations to casual loungewear, even as gravity does its deed, women still savor sensual, sophisticated, and excellent fitting … Read More
I was perusing Instagram a few weeks ago and came across Stephanie’s flower photos which, in my opinion, were incredibly beautiful. I was inspired. These images were simultaneously lyrical and lusty. I contacted her to tell her so. As often is the case when we brainstorm, her perspective was completely in sync with mine. We decided to collaborate on this editorial. The message is simple.
