LINGERIE MIGHT BE among the hottest fashion accessories in Hollywood, but some- times a look can be overplayed or under- played, depending on a celeb’s personal taste level. WWD asked several entertainment divas an important question: Is innerwear as out- erwear a fashion do or a fashion don’t? Here, an eclectic mix of celeb yeas and nays. — MARCY MEDINA “For me it’s a fashion don’t because I have breasts and a bum, so it’s accentuated. But if you have a body like Kate Moss, you can get away with it really well.” — Alice Eve ▲ “I like the ‘undone’ look of being able to see a bra under the shirt or dress. But if it takes you six hours to look undone, it’s not good. Don’t try too hard.” — Molly Sims “I’m not much for fashion dos and don’ts. Depending upon how you put it all together, everything has its time and place.” — China Chow “I have to say I love it [innerwear as outerwear], because it really helps a woman out, you know? Because it’s always like, ‘Oh no, you can see my bra.’ It can be such a pain. And lingerie is so pretty, you know? It’s nice to show it sometimes.” — Emmanuelle Chriqui ▲ “I love a colorful bra peeking through. The slip aspect I’m not sure about. If it’s a vintage slip, like in the Fifties, when slips really looked like dresses, that I think is gorgeous. But a normal slip should stay on the inside. I feel like women shouldn’t give away their secrets.” — Jennifer Love Hewitt “I have a Zadig & Voltaire slip I wear with a high- waisted skirt, and it looks like a top. You can also sort of see the bottom through the skirt, and I love it. When it’s done well, the lingerie looks is really feminine and sensual. There’s nothing better than a Dolce & Gabbana corset dress to flatter your body and celebrate your curves.” — Rose Byrne www.hanrousa.com “I like the look because I like things that are deconstructed and when the inside comes out. I’m a big Alexander McQueen fan. It’s great when women show off their bodies.” — Elisabeth Röhm ▲ Please visit us at CURVENV in Las Vegas 8/22 – 8/24 and CURVENY in New York 7/31 – 8/2 EVE PHOTO BY BECK STARR/FILMMAGIC; HEWITT BY CHELSEA LAUREN/WIREIMAGE; ROHM PHOTO BY MICHAEL TRAN/FILMMAGIC CHELSEA LAUREN/WIREIMAGE; ROHM PHOTO BY HEWITT BY BECK STARR/FILMMAGIC; EVE PHOTO BY 4 WWD MONDAY, JULY 25, 2011 SECTION II WWD.COM WWDINTIMATES/UNDERCURRENTS Strap Happy MITRA, ADRIAN NINA AND DANICA TERLITSKY GEORGE CHINSEE, THOMAS IANNACCONE, ROBERT JOHN AQUINO, PHOTOS BY Oops, your bra is showing!

  • Press Kit the History of French Lingerie at the Sagamore Hotel Miami Beach
    LINGERIE FRANCAISE EXHIBITION PRESS KIT THE HISTORY OF FRENCH LINGERIE AT THE SAGAMORE HOTEL MIAMI BEACH Continuing its world tour, the Lingerie Francaise exhibition will be presented at the famous Sagamore Hotel Miami Beach during the Art Basel Fair in Miami Beach from November 29th through December 6th, 2016. Free and open to all, the exhibition showcases the ingeniousness and creativity of French lingerie which, for over a century and a half, has been worn by millions of women worldwide. The exhibition is an immersion into the collections of eleven of the most prestigious French brands: AUBADE, BARBARA, CHANTELLE, EMPREINTE, IMPLICITE, LISE CHARMEL, LOU, LOUISA BRACQ, MAISON LEJABY, PASSIONATA and SIMONE PÉRÈLE. With both elegance and playfulness, the story of an exceptional craft unfolds in a space devoted to contemporary art. The heart of this historic exhibition takes place in the Game Room of the Sagamore Hotel. Beginning with the first corsets of the 1880’s, the presentation documents the custom-made creations of the 1930’s, showcases the lingerie of the 1950’s that was the first to use nylon, and culminates with the widespread use of Lycra® in the 1980’s, an epic era of forms and fabrics. This section focuses on contemporary and future creations; including the Lingerie Francaise sponsored competition’s winning entry by Salima Abes, a recent graduate from the university ESMOD Paris. An exclusive collection of approximately one hundred pieces will be exhibited, all of them emblematic of a technique, textile, and/or fashion innovation. A selection of landmark pieces will trace both the history of intimacy and the narrative of women’s liberation.

  • Boudoir & Fine Art Photography: the Intersection of Fun & Seduction
    Boudoir & Fine Art Photography: The Intersection of Fun & Seduction A Guide for First Time Clients and Veteran Boudies Monumental Arts Professional Fine Art Photography Boudoir & Fine Art Photography: Introduction So you are thinking about a Boudoir & Fine Art photography session – how exciting! But what is a boudoir & Fine Art session? Sounds simple – it’s just a sexy portrait session, right? Yes, no, and maybe, all at once! Boudoir is a unique and intimate style of photography – and whether you're looking for a romantic, glamour, pin-up, or fantasy session, it takes a big step to jump right in. Boudoir photography is a broad genre of photography that involves female subjects in sensual and suggestive poses. It is distinct from erotic photography in its emphasis on the aesthetic qualities of the subject and the craftsmanship of the photographic process over the sexually stimulating nature of the image. So, whether you are a veteran in front of the camera or brand new to the role, there are some things you should know about Boudoir & Fine Art photography. Tasteful, Private, and Confidential Sessions One of the top questions I’m asked regarding boudoir is “will these be online”? I have photographed over 300 boudoir sessions since I started in 2012 – most are completely private and are never seen online. In other words, if you don’t want your images shown on my website as examples, they never will be! I guarantee “Tasteful, Private, and Confidential Sessions!” Boudoir & Fine Art Styles Boudoir: Boudoir, as mentioned above, typically involves female subjects in sensual and suggestive poses.
