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 delights of a woman”. That … 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 don’t mistake that playfulness for … Read More

I wasn’t prepared for the impact of Big Little Lives on my Sunday evenings. I was even less prepared for its departure, leaving an entertainment void I don’t know how to fill.

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.

If there’s any lingerie designer that understands the value of pulling out all the stops for a seasonal campaign, it’s Chantal Thomass! For as long as I can recall (perhaps the last 10 years?), the eponymous French lingerie brand has teamed with the incomparable Ellen von Unwerth to create its editorial campaigns. Each year, new collections are presented in full glamour with often coquettish, whimsical images. In fact, most years, the … Read More

There really is nothing so thrilling as when your favorite lingerie designer pairs up with your favorite model; the combination is magical! The recent collaboration between lingerie brand Dottie’s Delights and vintage style icon Miss Mosh is a match made in heaven. This is perhaps the third time the two have collaborated, and once again you can see why they were made for one another. In fact, many of the designs from … Read More
