Lola Haze lingerie Fall/Winter 2009

April 27, 2009 by Mandolina

New York based lingerie and loungewear brand Lola Haze introduced its Fall/Winter 2009 Collection at the Curve Designer Lingerie and Swim Show at the Javits Galleria in New York back in February. This collection, Wabi Sabi City, is the brand’s third.

“Times of uncertainty call for a return to the body and an acceptance of imperfection and transience.” For Fall/Winter 2009, New York designer Laura Mehlinger examined the Japanese ideal of wabi sabi, in which beauty is found in imperfection, impermanence and quirks. While referring to this concept, she continued the distinct aesthetics that are the hallmarks of Lola Haze: boldness, play, and the energy of New York City.

One of the visual themes of the collection is body ornamentation. In the Tattoo group, designs inspired by tribal and eastern body ornamentation are hand-painted onto sheer black mesh, a fabric that both veils and reveals the body underneath. The marks, imperfect themselves, caress and frame the body’s natural contours. But these Tattoos are transient ornamentation, and the revelation comes when the tattoos are skimmed off the body, leaving only the natural form.

Ornamentation and surface art appear in the collection also in the Peacock and Imperfect groups, in which luxurious silk charmeuse and metallic lace are appliquéd on top of sheer mesh and silk chiffon.

For Fall/Winter 2009, Lola Haze embraced the simplicity and appeal of one piece dressing: rompers, teddies, jumpsuits, body stockings, and plenty of chemises and slips. Alongside these modern silhouettes are updates to some Lola Haze favorites.

Mehlinger’s collaboration with New York artist Charlotte Pinson, announced in December 2008, continues with a series of quirky, elegant painted silk tops that will be shown alongside the Lola Haze Wabi Sabi City collection.

Mehlinger has been studying, designing and making clothing since the time she could hold a needle. Before launching Lola Haze, she held design positions at Gap, Inc. She received her BA from Harvard in English and was called “Harvard’s Ace Student of Fashion” by the Boston Globe for creating and showing her own line of women’s wear in the only one-person fashion show there in memory. She named her line after the title character in the novel Lolita, which she wrote her thesis about and which continues to intrigue and inspire her.

She finds difference and quirkiness -visual and otherwise- inspiring, and is driven in her designing by the idea of surprise.

“Design is molding juxtapositions: elegance and kitsch, innocence and seduction, playfulness and sophistication, and for Lola Haze, public and private. I love lingerie because it dances between public and private domains. It can be a woman’s own secret that makes her feel special or something beautiful for display. Lola Haze is for a playful, confident woman who loves the transformative power of clothing and dresses for herself. She can wear Lola Haze as innerwear, loungewear, or outerwear.”

Sheandme Intimates Update

March 9, 2008 by Krista

I don’t have to tell you (because I’m sure you already know) how big of a fan I am of sheandme intimates. Specializing in “sexy comfort,” sheandme should be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. One of the reasons sheandme pieces are so great is that the pieces are intermatching and versatile.sheandme wrap and print crop fall 2008

At the Curve NY show, I was able to view the Fall 2008 collection. And believe me, it does not disappoint! Rich fall colors like navy, maroon, and burnt orange are not only used as solids for the signature modal/silk collection, but are also incorporated as a new colorway for the sheandme print. In addition to new, beautiful colors, also be on the look out for new sheandme styles like a chic racerback chemise (with build in shelf bra!) and a cover wrap that looks great with jeans and also doubles as a robe.

So what do you do until those great pieces are available? Check out the amazing colors and cozy items available now. And soon, just in time for spring, look for sheandme in great pastel colors. Click here to find stores where sheandme is sold.

Cosabella Sex and the City Lingerie Update

March 1, 2008 by Krista

Sex and the City Cast If you are like me and my girlfriends, you are eagerly awaiting May 30th – the premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie. Well, in April, prepare for a little taste of the movie through the Cosabella Sex and the City collection! As Kelly mentioned in a post back in December, each of the four collections is inspired by the unique styles and personalities of the girls. The collections are also reflective of the true Cosabella essence of comfort and color. At the Curve NY trade show, I was able to see the summer pieces up close and personal.

The “Carrie” collection is described as “whimsical and eclectic” and features a push up bra, bustier, and low rise thong in a black, floral print tulle. Of course, it wouldn’t be a “Carrie” look without the contrasting animal print trim! While the signature “Carrie” look is in Black Rose, the collection will also be available in Ivory Rose.

The “Samantha” collection is featured in juicy Passion Fruit and contains a spicy bra, low rise thong, and garter belt (of course!). Made with French Chantilly style lace with fine, micro-dot mesh, this collection is sure to please!

With contrasting Blue Violet and Sky Blue tulle and lace, the “Miranda” collection is chic and practical, just like the character. A molded bra, low rise hotpants, and a low rise thong are the signature items. Items will also be available in Magenta and Hot Pink.

And for the sweet and feminine, Charlotte, Cosabella has designed a camisole, long pant, and low rise thong made of soft modal and an eco-friendly bamboo fiber. The signature “Charlotte” collection will be featured in Ecru with Ecru accents, but also available in Black with Ecru accents.

Tackle Arm Flab with Slimpressions

February 24, 2008 by Krista

The Curve NY show introduced me to a new product designed to tackle that pesky arm flab. Not only do the consumer tested Slimpressions tame arm flab, but also smooth out the the back and midriff. Available in three silhouettes (The Haves, The Have-Nots, and the Skinny Minis), you can meet your individual needs to “reconfigure your figure.”Both the Haves and the Have-Nots feature a ribbed midriff for all around support as well as gentle compression on the arms preventing that unsightly underarm flappage. Additionally, both of the body shapers feature a long torso ideal for tucking or layering. However, the Have-Nots scoops under the breasts for women who do not prefer the extra compression. The Skinny Minis provide the same upper body control as the Haves collection, but allows your arms to be free.

The machine washable (!) Slimpressions are available in Black, Brown, White, and Nude and in sizes 1, 2, and 3 which correspond with pant sizes. Why pant sizes? The torso of Slimpressions is long enough to cover your entire midriff so is sized to match that area of your body.

Want more information? The Slimpressions website is very thorough in detailing the specifics of the garments. While you are there, sign up for the preferred pre-sales customer list. In the meantime, we’ll keep you posted of the latest developments as we hear of them!
