The glittering spectacle of showgirl costumes can run the gamut from extreme highs to tacky lows, but I thought it would be fun to focus on the styles that are over-the-top, super stylish and dazzling. If you’ve watched one of these costumes being performed in during a live performance, you understand the importance of sparkle, movement, and the occasional ostrich feather plume.
There seems to be a fine line … Read More

Perhaps you heard the news that legendary fashion designer Andres Sarda had passed away earlier this month at age 90. This deserved a mention on Lingerie Briefs, particularly since I’ve featured his namesake brand in the Gallery a few times over the years (typically I don’t do repeat features on most brands, but I’m a fan!). https://lingeriebriefs.com/?s=andres+sarda

Lingerie does not need to be flashy or impractical to be sexy; it can be an everyday indulgence that works with your active lifestyle. French lingerie brand Icone has recognized this from the beginning, with designs that fit into the sexy, yet practical category perfectly.

The current Summer 2019 collection has a dominant red, white & blue color scheme that happens to be right on theme with this week’s July 4th celebration. When you take those colors, and mix in gingham print and scallop trims, we’re seeing … Read More

It should come as no surprise that I truly appreciate a good photo campaign when it comes to enjoying a lingerie brand. In fact, it’s often the first step in grabbing my attention, and I highly value the way it sets the tone and feel for what the designer is intending to convey. The posts I create for this Gallery are all driven by beautiful images; editorial-style campaigns that make me feel… Read More

This post could have been much longer if I shared every item from LIVY that I fell in love with, so I limited myself to pieces from the past year. Just when I would spot one bra that had gorgeous detailing in the front, I would see an image of its stunning detail in the back…so much to enjoy! No detail is overlooked with this French luxury lingerie label, which is inspired … Read More
