“Customers around the world trust our packaging with the delicate task of protecting and promoting their products,” said Federica Mazzon, Sales Executive, Legoplast, during our virtual meeting.

A multiverse of shapes, finishes, and closure techniques are just a few of the elements that the company offers to its customers.… Read More

Swedish Stockings ~ Saving the Planet Stylishly

September 14, 2020

By HOLLY JACKSON

I spent all day today reading the news and feeling like the world is falling apart. We’re on T for hurricane names and it’s only September and whole states (and the wildlife and habitats they contain) are on fire. When I was a child people frequently talked about climate change like something far off. It was an issue from a sci-fi novel or the cause of the apocalypse of a movie that was mostly fictional. It never occurred to me that as an adult it would be front page news and a regular part of my life.… Read More

Dora Larsen ~ In Living Color

August 17, 2020

By ELLEN LEWIS

During the Covid19 lockdown, restricted to my neighborhood in Connecticut, I was re-introduced to the exquisite floral evolution of the Northeastern USA springtime. I had not seen it in 7 years as I am usually in Mexico. Walking daily from mid-March on, I have witnessed a daily explosion of color, taking the time to actually “see” natures amazing kaleidoscope. In fact, I have incorporated some of these images in our Instagram juxtaposing the poetry of nature to the poetry of lingerie.

This theme resonated when I first spoke to Georgia Larsen, founder of Dora Larsen Lingerie.… Read More

Cake Lingerie Re-brands Focusing On Openness and Sustainability

August 3, 2020

By HOLLY JACKSON

For many of us the pandemic has been a time to sit in silence and take a look at our lives. Some of us took up knitting or crochet. Some of us repainted our kitchens. Some of us finished the giant list of life projects we’ve been putting off for ages. I would argue that for most of us though, this pandemic has been a time to take stock of the things that really matter to us and figure out how to prioritize them once this is all over.… Read More

The Muse – Inner Freedom – Demery Jayne

Demery, a passionate world traveler, interlaces the idea of innate freedom into her awe-inspiring designs. They express her sun-kissed memories of exotic cultures and far away lands. Soaking the sun and the saltiness of the ocean water, Demery dreamed of her collection while feeling one with the universe. Wouldn’t you want to experience such inner freedom that transforms you into what you want to be…into your better self?

“I have always flourished in the water environment and I loved everything about the islands just off of the Venezuelan coast…I went there and ended up staying for a few years.… Read More

Hadley Smythe ~ Bonjour Tristesse

July 27, 2020

By ALISON CONNOLLY

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

Calida’s Sustainable Star Rises

July 15, 2020

By ELLEN LEWIS

I am in awe of the Calida brand, their message, and their incredible merchandising platform. Ever since I first highlighted the The Cradle to Cradle Certified™ I Love Nature t-shirts in 2018, I have become more and more enamored of the superior sustainable programs that the company supports. Calida is an iconic brand, 80 years young, a mainstay of many intimate apparel retailers worldwide. Full disclosure: although, I always valued their soft hand, meticulous construction, comfortable styles, and extraordinary quality, I admit, they seemed a bit too “traditional” for me.… Read More
