Ian Hooton Photography

cm2014962113113132

I first noticed Ian Hooton’s photography on Instagram and was immediately drawn to his use of natural light when shooting images of women in lingerie. So, I decided to investigate further and discovered that his work extended beyond the boudoir. I contacted Ian to learn a bit more about his background as its no secret that I love the arts, and in particular, photography when it captures the essence of … Read More

And, I DO NOT MEAN BREAST CANCER AWARENESS!  Pink is the color of unconditional love and nurturing, or so it is said. It has perpetually been associated with femininity, warmth, intuition and calm.  And it has been hi-jacked by breast cancer organizations as a metaphor and changed the conversation from romance to money. I was never the “pink” girl, but I was always inspired by the pink world. Everywhere we … Read More

Walking through the exhibitions stands this past summer at the Paris Lingerie and Swimwear show, I have to admit, I wasn’t exactly at my best.  I was somewhat under the weather, and I don’t mean the 100 degree temperatures; although that certainly did add to my discomfort. In such a state, its a bit more difficult to get inspired. But, when I came across the mystical, magical Maaji Swimwear booth, … Read More

I stopped by the Honeydew showroom in NYC this week to get an update on this LA vibe brand known for  their kicky, pretty, sexy  intimates. Think of the rumba panty,  a signature mainstay since the company debuted in 2002. Honeydew Intimates has become part of retailer’s underwear infrastructure and continue to stand firm as a consumer favorite. But as they continue to forge new frontiers, it is the everyday … Read More

Lucky for me, I am willing to try new things. Too bad for me that I had made an assumption about the Miraclesuit swimwear brand. I thought this brand was for older women (not that I don’t fit into that category) who do water exercises in their club pools. A few weeks ago, I spent time with the brand’s marketing team in their NY showroom basically because I am on … Read More


Linear Art ~ Lingerie Effects

BA

Art is everywhere: in photography, paintings, couture and fashion lingerie. Who influences who is a matter of conjecture. Above embroidered image by Amsterdam based artist Hinke Schreuders uses embroidered threads to create a linear pattern stealing some of the portraits intensity. Perhaps designer Junko Shimada had the same intent. Below graphic lines strong as in Adriana Degreas’ bodysuit or delicate pictured here in John Paul Gaultier’s bodice affect the same … Read More
