The Falke brand continues to be a North Star in innovation, always striving for excellence in every initiative on which they embark. I for one am addicted to the comfort and quality of their socks. Certainly, I have written about them before. Like underwear that exceeds fit and function expectations they do the deed without ever making their presence known. The fact that these styles also attend to social and ecological … Read More

Bullseye! FALKE hits the target with their Daily Climate Control Underwear program. Although available for both men and women, I am inspired here to focus on the men’s collection. I have not tried the product personally, but my husband has.

In Europe, one cannot miss the impact of the Falke brand, always occupying substantial floor space, front … Read More

This show was larger than the February show. The product mix was somewhat eclectic. Barbie … Read More

Curve New York took place at the Javits Center this February in a venue flooded with light and elevated above the conventional trade show jamboree. Many of the stories I noted reinforced the Paris themes: glitter and glow, bodysuits, intricate embroideries, graphic laces, and seduction. A carousel of dynamic prints in vivid colors merge with a palette of deep pink, purple and blue soaked hues, bright greens, yellow and … Read More

In this month’s photo editorial, Becky takes her inspiration from Queen Bey, Sasha Fierce, diva-extraordinaire, Beyonce. Like Beyonce’s girl power anthem, these lingerie looks are catchy, bold, undeniably aggressive, making women feel unstoppable. Shot in NYC and infused with the city’s indisputable energy, they are commanding canvasses that answer the query: Who Really Runs the World? Women do!
