I had a very Hamiltonian weekend. First, I finished reading Ron Chernow’s biography of this extraordinary man. Then, I listened to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s score for the Broadway hit show. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it yet. At $900 a ticket I will have to pass. But it doesn’t matter. Being submerged in Alexander Hamilton’s story was an intellectual and creative privilege. Born without an “American” pedigree into an impoverished life, this brilliant immigrant rose to be, … Read More
As a veteran of the Intimate Apparel business, I would be hard pressed to say that I was not familiar with the 125+ year old Triumph brand. They have dominated European and Asian markets for well over a century. Ensconced in their German/Swiss heritage, the Triumph name has long been equated with technical innovation and volume driven design. Witness here the Amourette collection which has sold over 60 million units since its inception in the … Read More

When I learned about the new Evelyn & Bobbie Structured Scoop Bra and Tank, the concept of a majestic bridge ensued. Bridges are a feat of architectural brilliance, a mastermind of design, an engineering triumph that defies gravity yet supports untold weight. Bridges are a byway to two separate sides of an abyss.

I’ve just returned from Paris having attended The Salon International de la Lingerie and Interfiliere expositions. As always, we will have an extensive overview published on Lingerie Briefs in a short time. But because Curve New York has moved its dates from late February to 2/4-2/6, timing does not allow me to adequately retrieve, organize and recap all the information I absorbed. (And my grandson’s presence for a week doesn’t help my … Read More
