Maybe it’s because I live in NYC. Maybe it’s because I’m practical. Or maybe it’s because it’s downright sexy. I love black lingerie. In my 10+ years in the industry, I’ve seen a few colors trending here or there, but black was always a popular option – either for those who want something extra special or for those looking to create a foundations bra wardrobe.

It might take awhile to de-brief, but there were some clear messages for Fall 2014, one of which I mentioned in my Live Report Monday “It’s All About The Details”.

We took a lingerie tour of Los Angeles and its environs beginning with the award-winning luxury lingerie boutique, Faire Frou Frou.

A not-so-funny thing happened last year when HOTmilk, the trendy New Zealand maternity label, was getting ready to launch its new men’s underwear brand, Milkman: someone beat them to market with a similar product, brand name and edgy sales pitch.
To make matters worse, the interloper was another Kiwi label, an upstart indie called Milk Underwear. Their debut just a few … Read More
It’s November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving, the start of the holiday season and my 30th wedding anniversary. It’s a big gift giving time of year, but somehow, the whole process has become a chore. Time has erased the need to own “things”. Experience has taught me that a true gift is a rare luxury; a combination of thought, pleasure and emotion. A great gift is not only a joy to receive … Read More
