Diamonds & Lace : Lise Charmel on Lingerie Briefs

My mother had the most exquisite diamond engagement ring, a round stone embraced on one side by a semi-circle of tiny diamonds and on the other, rubies. Set in a platinum band, she bequeathed it to my sister, as it should have been.  My sister had beautiful hands. Me, not so much. I never really understood the necessity and didn’t want a diamond ring when I decided to marry. I’m … Read More

Murmer Lingerie on Lingerie Briefs

Perhaps the first (or only) lingerie brand that comes to mind when I consider the term avant-garde is Murmur.  For the last few years, Romanian designer Andreea Bădală has been creating standout collections of luxury prêt-a-porter with a risqué  lingerie twist.  The lines between the two are completely blurred in such a way to give the customer the freedom to wear pieces as either innerwear or … Read More


Scenes from The Great Gatsby on Lingerie Briefs

There’s lingerie for everyday life, there’s lingerie for special occasions, and then there’s lingerie for the runway!  As with any runway show, looks from a brand’s core collection are borrowed, layered and interpreted into the most dazzling, imaginative displays of fashion.  I was thrilled that the French lingerie brand Etam once again showcased its collection during Paris Fashion Week (September 2016), and showed us its creativity in … Read More

Even though most brides marry in the spring, holidays, like Christmas, are an enchanting time of the year for wedding festivities. This celebratory season adds a special luster to the party. Did you know that most engagements occur during December? Luxury lingerie always heightens expectation. It’s a time of wonder and hope

In order to keep up with the contemporary art scene, I subscribe to the Artsy website.  Recently, they posted an editorial on the upcoming Frieze London Art Fair (10/14-10/17).  The show is a consortium of 164 galleries representing 1000 artists from 30 countries. I was panning through the site today and came upon these Rampas (carpet collages) by Nevin Aladag, that will be showcased by the German Wentrup gallery. They … Read More
