Today’s Gallery features Botica Lingerie, where “nude is the color of the soul”. Once you see their work, you will understand precisely what this means and how closely the brand abides by this credo. You will also immediately see that this label represents erotica, the avant-garde and female sensuality.
This luxury label celebrates the ritual of wearing lingerie as “one of the most intimate and erotic … Read More

What started as writing a blog post turned into putting together a wish list of lingerie and loungewear that I can’t live without. This collection of covet-worthy items on my radar is from NYC-based designer Morgan Lane.
This youthful (i.e. 20-30 something year old) brand is packed with personality, and offers a cheeky take on what’s meant to be “your special secret underneath it all”. But … Read More

Probably every feature I’ve done in the Gallery shares the common thread of a brand that has gone above and beyond the bland “corporate catalog” images and delivered something magical.

It happens to be International Women’s Day as I write this post, and somehow seems incredibly appropriate that I am writing about the brand Suzy Black. The founder of this lingerie label (Diondra Julian) refers to herself as a “Chief Panty Enthusiast, Designer, Wife, Mom and Reveler” so I can’t help but think that she is precisely the type of woman we are celebrating today.
