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.

Intimate Graphics: Meg at Midnight SS13 Unveiled on Newly-launched Website
by Luis Paredes
Meg at Midnight, the new designer intimatewear for the smaller busted woman, unveils its Spring-Summer 2013 collection on its recently-launched website – meg-at-midnight.com.
The first intimatewear collection dubbed ‘Else’ is inspired by the elegance, mystery, and magnetism of the 1920s era. “Subtle hints such as frilled lace edges are apparent on the pieces, as seen on the Marion and Opal sets. The two key pieces are increasingly becoming popular to the website visitors and social network followers,” said the designer.
The pieces are available on the website’s shop on limited stocks, ready to ship internationally. Meg at Midnight lingerie are carefully structured to fit and flatter petite figures with the aim of empowering smaller busted women to embrace their shape and come out confident rather than resorting to expensive and potentially hazardous cosmetic operations. All Meg at Midnight products are finished in the UK.

Intimate Graphics

We love photoshoots! There’s an element of creative Alchemy involved in pulling together the talents of a lingerie designer, stylists, make up artists, hair stylists and graphic designers to transmute
hard work, vision, and lace into the final product.
Last December, we had the privilege of witnessing this particular magic at NaïS Lingerie’s photoshoot for their current SS12 Collection. Designer Anaïs Bouchard and cofounder Lin Corte invited us to witness and document the process.
“NaïS is a unique concept of urban crafted Lingerie. and Loungewear,” – Anaïs Bouchard
We wanted to share with our readers a little teaser of that full video and story debuting later this month. Our Designer Spotlight on NaïS Lingerie is presented by Eucalan Lingerie Wash.
