Patrick & Skinner: From Paris with Love

What a deliciously busy start to the New Year, I am yet to exhale since it has begun and am still learning daily lessons in branding, marketing, and design. Birthing Patrick & Skinner has been more valuable in gaining knowledge than any lecture I have attended. Now it is truly born, I must nurture, love [...]

The 7 Colors of Fashion – Salon de la lingerie Forum

For this new edition, the Salon International de la Lingerie Forum proposed a reflection on lingerie colors. For each color there is a style, a trend, even an age. The forum’s concept was to work from a colour to develop a feeling, materials, a fashion and a collection. Merchandising ideas were also included to differentiate [...]

Ritratti Lingerie Spring/Summer 2008

Just got a big shipment of high resolution photos from Ritratti’s latest Spring/Summer collection in my mailbox — and obviously I’m here to not only share, but also show you my own little favorites from the SS08 collection of last year’s “designer of the year” winner at the Salon International de la Lingerie. Overall, loving [...]

Lejaby Lingerie Fall/Winter 2008 Preview!

Straight from the catwalk of Paris’ Salon international de la lingerie last week — photos of two Lejaby Fall/Winter 2008-2009 pieces in anything but boring winter colors! No Bert-bashing, but obviously there’s one professional photo and eight somewhat less professional ones, but I’m loving the fact that we get a chance to show you these [...]

Selmark lingerie catwalk in Paris

You know what — I wasn’t really impressed with Selmark’s pieces in this previous post we made about them (the Bar Rafaeli one for our regulars), but seeing the photos of the catwalk show at the Salon international de la lingerie in Paris, I am now looking forward to the rest of their Autumn/Winter 2008/2009 [...]

Paris Salon international de la lingerie 2008

I just got back from Paris and visiting the Salon international de la lingerie, and I have to say one thing: “the French know how to throw a lingerie-party”. Beautiful models everywhere, sexy catwalks with Fall/Winter 2008/2009 lingerie from top labels from around the world and a great organisation allowing for all kinds of lingerie [...]

Black and white…

I’m just finalizing my second collection which will be launched at the Paris Lingerie show later this month. It’s exciting to see the designs come to life as they arrive from my sample makers. But it doesn’t always go according to plan, as you can see here… This nightgown is cut on the bias with [...]

Welcome to the scrumptious world of Patrick & Skinner

I must say, how absolutely scrumptious it is to meet you all! Welcome to the New Year and my world that is Patrick & Skinner. 2007 for me was defiantly about creating an awareness of the brand and our ideas towards lingerie. Inspired from the feminine indulgence, whatever that may be to you, my goal [...]

Starting a lingerie-business

What a year! Unbelievable but it’s already 12 months ago that we kicked off our lingerie business with a visit at Europe’s most famous and most prestigious lingerie fair in Paris – the Salon International de la Lingerie, short SIL. For us two girls it felt like entering lingerie’s paradise. By January 07 my best [...]
