Walking through the Curve show last month, I did a double take when I passed the Barbara booth. The Anna blue and white printed bra and panty set displayed front and center for fall 2015 was a showstopper. I have always perceived this brand’s niche as stretch lace.  However with the onset of their new fashion assortment for spring 2015, it is clear that something has changed at Barbara. Not generally attracted to printed … Read More

Although I am no academic, the metaphoric communiques offered by the art world have always informed my perspective. I studied art and somehow found a career where visual properties commanded a major role. I am drawn often to color, light and material and the power they have to transform space when placed in the hands an expert. I find these instincts innately feminine and by association a major proponent in the creation of lingerie. Perhaps … Read More

On my way to Cabo via California next week, I am looking forward to the sun, water and laid back vibe of the Southern Baha culture. Most of all, it’s the heat and light that transforms color, changing basic everyday commodities from the understated to the dynamic. Perhaps that metaphor is why I am drawn to the just discovered Bia Boro Underwear collection. I was surprised when this 5 year young company informed me of … Read More

Now, re-tooled with a clean and modern look, they have entered the North American market with intent. Engineered with the precise attention to detail and fit, Lahco remains true to its Swiss DNA; swimsuits designed with retro … Read More

I apologize in advance. You are going to hear a lot about my son’s wedding (11 days away) in the next few weeks. It seems that bridal business and lingerie continuously cross mutual boundaries. Case in point is the black and silver sequined top I am wearing (with silk pants) as the mother of the groom. Being a bit voluptuous (festive term for a G cup) I had some concern about what bra to wear … Read More

Weddings are on my mind. My son is being married in two weeks and here I am, mother of the groom, completely ensconced in wedding speak and I am not even responsible for the actual wedding day. Still, the decisions are never-ending: clothes, air travel, hotels and of course the rehearsal dinner. And even though I am an observer when it comes to the actual event, I have been updated regularly on the plans as … Read More

It’s not easy for a brand to break into the America Bra market. The “Must Haves” for retailers are rigorous: innovation, value, design, stability and customer service. Square footage is a precious commodity. Allocation of funds to the foundations business is like a coveted membership in an exclusive club, much more difficult than other intimate categories where SKU assortment is not so intimidating. My first encounter with Curvy Couture was exciting simply because this company … Read More
