andora3dcollectorxThis week I had a rendezvous with jury duty, having exhausted my excuses after three postponements. Like everyone else in the auditorium waiting for their name to be called, I didn’t want to be there. Armed with my laptop, kindle and snacks, I decided I could make it through. I figured I would never be chosen since the concept of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is difficult for me to … Read More


my Samoyed Husky. Tarot on Lingerie Briefs

At the age of 22, I acquired my first dog, a pure white Samoyed Husky.  He was quite a diversion from the wiener dogs that commandeered my household most of my childhood. Tarot (I guess you can guess where my head was in those days) was an unintended purchase. Accompanying a colleague who was looking for a pet, I became smitten by a 4 month old fluff ball whose energy … Read More


Fleur't With Me loungewear on Lingerie Briefs

Last week, at the NYC Interfiliere, there was a great deal of continued talk about the Athleisure trend. It’s amazing how this apparel phenomenon has been integrated into the Intimate Apparel industry, crossing back and forth with ready-to-wear, often seamlessly. For lingerie retailers, the crossover requires thoughtful merchandising.

It’s no secret that the written word is my friend. Reading a great book is inspirational, but I must admit that the level of social noise to which we now have access, can often dislodge my literary goals. Some years ago, my husband urged me to read Charles Dickens whom he declared to be one of the greatest writers of all time. Since we are on opposite poles when it … Read More

Cristina Aielli Couture Lingerie on Lingerie Briefs

I often feel that the word “couture is overused by designers to describe their work.  After all, it means “the design of fashionable clothes to a client’s specific requirements and measurements” and we know that is frequently not the case.  The word alludes to luxury and exclusivity, which explains why it is too often used to elevate the perceived quality of a brand.  However, there are … Read More


Manus and Machina at the Met on Lingerie Briefs

Tuesday evening I attended a presentation by Lectra in which they provided insight into the universe of 3D imagery, particularly in the world of apparel. The recent Manus and Machina exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art revealed just how far this technology has come. So did my dentist last week, when he scanned my teeth to take a 3D image of the impression for the lab creating a crown. … Read More
