There aren’t many modern-day lingerie collections that have stood the test of time quite so well as Evgenia’s Rebelle, which was first released for Fall 2016. Vintage-inspired without crossing over into costume territory, these timeless pieces are every bit as delightful to look at now as they were half a decade ago.
