Backstage at The Nutcracker ~ A Holiday Lingerie Fashion Editorial

November 14, 2018

Photographed by STEPHANIE HYNESCommando bodysuit photographed by Stephanie Hynes for Lingerie BriefsCommando

In search of a theme for our holiday lingerie fashion editorial, Stephanie and I wanted to stay true to our creative aesthetic. How classic is the Nutcracker Suite! I suggested a story about the intimate world in which the dancers live while they are backstage in rehearsal and during the performance. Thirty two brands contributed to this visual panorama of exquisite intimates photographed to capture the symbiotic relationship between lingerie and the ballet. Our principal model, Laura Hess, is a former prima ballerina and has performed in The Nutcracker. She is joined by other professional dancers. The logistics of this shoot proved challenging as we lost our initial stage venue on the East Coast and were forced to move to Minneapolis for the final work. But in her inimitable way, Stephanie pulled it off. This is our gift to our readers and our brands for Holiday 2018. Let the season begin!

Lingerie Minimalism

September 12, 2018
A fashion editorial series by Stephanie Hynes & Lingerie Briefs

“Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is set out to expose the essence, essentials or identity of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts.”

Walking around the Curve show with Stephanie last month, I mentioned that the emerging story that I perceived was the focus on basic essentials, simple shapes whose function was to provide supportive and flattering silhouettes without fuss. I tagged it Lingerie Minimalism.

In America, the everyday t-shirt bra and panty remains a dominant piece in a woman’s underwear drawer. In the current environment, a major statement by many brands is the reinforcement of their essential bra styles. Updating componentry and creating linear visuals bring a fresh perspective on these established collections.

What better way to show the versatility of … ...Read more


Bridal White ~ July Lingerie Fashion Editorial Part Two

July 25, 2018

By STEPHANIE HYNES

In Part Two of our July Fashion Lingerie Editorial, Stephanie brings her camera indoors. In Part One, she shot her vision based on the illusions framed from natural light: the American impressionist painter Frederick Carl Frieseke was her inspiration.  These images, photographed in her studio, evoke clarity of light effused from the simplicity of their surroundings. The color white is both innocent and provocative.  In an artist’s hands, white takes many perspectives. Is white lingerie meant only for brides?  This has often been the perception in America. But in Europe, white has long been status quo for everyday basics and sensual fashion pieces. Do brides only wear white? Perhaps the touch of something blue answers the question.

The Brides of Summer ~ July Lingerie Fashion Editorial Part One

July 18, 2018

By STEPHANIE HYNES

Inspired by the American impressionist painter, Frederick Carl Frieseke, Stephanie’s July Fashion Editorial (Part One) is not only an ode to summer brides, but also a visual play on the effects of summer light. Frieseke is known for painting early 20th century women outdoors in dappled light. These women would often steal away to find respite under a willow or by a body of water, relaxed and free and unrestrained from the layers of clothing that fashion demanded.

Stephanie states “I wanted to play with these elements to create an ethereal mood, one that suggests a mirage in the heat of summer”

To capture this, Stephanie plays with the color white through a simmering lens. The lingerie transforms into an images of romance, desire and delight.

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most

Swimwear Is Not Just For Swimming

It is no longer a secret that intimate apparel and ready to wear share space in the fashion world; but what about swimwear? Beach attire, once specifically relegated to sand and water venues are also following suit. I have a unique perspective here in Cabo San Lucas: a firsthand account. After all, on the Mexican seashore, swimwear is so integrated into the dress code, that one hardly sees it as a trend. I have spoken before of several lingerie brands that have crossed over and blurred traditional boundaries between the two categories. What has become more prescient is the integration of conventional swim styles into the vernacular of a woman’s everyday wardrobe. Stephanie and I pondered this rising trend and decided we would do a story proposing that ‘swimwear is … ...Read more
