Intimate Graphics: PATRICE CATANZARO TOME 10

                           by Luis Paredes

If you want to step into Patrice Catanzaro’s world, you better be prepared to be amazed by a collection that is both unnervingly erotic and beautifully artistic. Add to these elements the fact that Catanzaro’s latest offering was photographed by the talented Nath-Sakura and you have an amazing lookbook to entice, arouse and inspire the senses.

But the best way of experience this collection is in person. We were on hand at the last International Lingerie Show to see this amazing collection from the self-described “dream-maker of the fetish world” – Patrice Catanzaro.

Flipping through the new look book, viewers are guided through a journey through Catanzaro’s fantasy fetish workshop showcasing the new designs and also giving a glimpse of the designer’s process, fascinations and inspirations.

All of the garments are created and manufactured in France at the company’s workshops in Marseilles with sizing available in S, M, L, XL, and XXL for all of the styles.
“Our preference color is the black and the main materials are the wet look, the vinyl, the netting, lace,” noted the designer. “The wet look is a new material, combining the aspect of leather and of the latex, the flexibility of the lycra and the shine of the vinyl.”

The company also offers, upon request, custom requests.

If you want to see more of this amazing collection in person, then make sure you clear your calendar for the upcoming International Lingerie Show in April. Patrice Catanzaro will be back at that show with his collection.

Intimate Graphics: New Online Lingerie Boutique MISSVENGA.COM Launches

                           by Luis Paredes
Miss Venga, the personality/founder and self-described, “Purveyor of Erotic Lingerie for wonder women with tits, arse and attitude” recently launched her online boutique for all things erotica – MissVenga.com. The new online boutique offers women everything they need for Head to Toe Erotica as Miss Venga describes on her site.


“Everything you need, from masks to nipple tassels, fringed baby dolls, gowns, retro panties the bigger the better, proper back in the day stockings & hold-ups and heels that won’t break your neck or the bank,” noted Miss Venga. “Our sizing goes from the sultry kittenesque UK 10 to sumptuous booty shaking UK 22. As a buxom woman herself Miss Venga has designs that work, so you look and feel like a Pin-up, worthy of being adored as the goddess you are.”

The focus is also on offering quality British made Vintage lingerie and Erotica for all of her customers. Additionally, pleasure products are of main importance with the site’s Love Lab.

Miss Venga also offers some of their own line of intimates. “We have recently designed our own range of Vintage inspired lingerie with Curvecouture including the Venga Nightie and Babydoll set which go up to a UK size 22, as well as a range of panties in brief & full cut,” said Miss Venga.

The designs are original and exclusive to Miss Venga and are made to order.
“We don’t order from China and we are proud of our British trading partners, like Curvecouture from Brighton.”

The inspiration to start the boutique started in Spain. Miss Venga explains: “A few years ago I found myself in Spain with 2 kids, recently separated and a need to find work. Being a size 14 -16 I struggled to find lingerie that fitted, so thought I would start selling sexy products in the vibrant local markets. The Erotica industry was still in it’s infancy in Spain at the time, and I saw an opportunity. A friend of my family lent me £500 and I used it to buy stock, including plus size vintage lingerie, toys and lubes.

Later on, she sold her stock at festivals, markets and set up party nights across the bars of the Costa. Shortly afterwards, Miss Venga was born.

“We believe every woman deserves to look and feel fabulous whatever your budget and we cater accordingly. No storage or fancy shops means beautiful products, similar products to well known brands, at a fraction of the cost,” she said. “Miss Venga is here now to lead by example, showing us how to have a little fun in the bedroom, bathroom, boudoir and beyond. Let her into your life and see what she can do for you – life’s too short to be shy.”

Intimate Graphics: Angela Friedman Launch Event

            Intimate Graphics
             by Luis Paredes

Last month, we were treated to Angela Friedman’s launch event showcasing her Versailles collection. It was a beautiful experience that felt more like an adventure than a launch party. The night started out with me and Mozz Manzoor heading out to the gallery where Angela was holding her event. It felt great going to event not tied to the garment district or the showrooms in midtown. We walked inside and were led to the freight elevator.
As we made the slow climb up, I had the urgent sense that I was going to be part of something special. The doors opened and the sound of a violin filled our ears. We were let out into a gorgeous space filled with guests networking and enjoying drinks and pastries.
Off to the side, there was, what could be best described as a set, a miniature world evoking a bygone Baroque world. In the center, a wonderful vintage, velvety blue couch. It looked gorgeous and knowing what Angela’s pieces looked like I couldn’t wait to see the models take their place in this little world.
Angela didn’t disappoint. Everyone was treated to a parade of three models showcasing each of Angela’s stunning pieces. We were able to see Angela’s corsets, slips, kimono robes, lingerie and camisole sets in action with a live violinist in the background. It was magical. We filmed the evening and put together a short video for our readers to enjoy.
 
If you missed this incredible event, don’t worry, you can also experience Angela’s collection at the Lingerie Designer Showcase this August 5th – 8th at the AKA Hotel here in NYC.
Buyers are encourage to make an appointment with Angela
