Parlez Vous Aubade?

By ELLEN LEWIS

Aubade Troublant Desir on Lingerie BriefsI studied French diligently in school with big plans. I wanted to work at the United Nations and French is one of the 6 official UN languages. So when my merchandising career began (another story for another time) I questioned the viability of my education. You don’t hear that much French in New York’s garment district.

Gossard Lace Sheer Glossie Bra on Lingerie Briefs

There are wonderful advantages to living in Mexico, but negotiating the idiosyncrasies of a foreign culture is not one of them. As an American, I am used to easy access to skilled labor, state of the art supplies, and respected schedules. But the Mexican wish to always please despite the reality at hand actually can interfere with achieving desired results. In fact, my “gringo” friends and I have created an … Read More

iolé Lingerie in the Gallery on Lingerie Briefs

iolé is a new luxury lingerie label from Melbourne,  Australia that specializes in creating pieces that are ethically-conscious and environmentally-friendly.  It’s a brand that you might say specializes in “slow fashion”, which means its designs are not dictated by trends but rather by classic looks that will never go out of style.  Every piece created by iolé is handmade on the day it’s ordered, which means there … Read More
