It’s the Bee’s Knees! Fringe is Lingerie’s Latest Trend
Made by Niki’s Fringe Collection took the lingerie industry by storm in 2011, but like all the very best trends, it was a little ahead of its time. The world at large wasn’t quite ready for befringed lingerie. Well fast forward 7 years later, and fringe is everywhere now. Though it’s a bit of a wildcard trend, fringe is exciting precisely because of how tactile – how touchable – it […]

Lingerie for Hopeless Romantics: My Elenoula Intimates
Lingerie, especially if you work within or in close proximity to the fashion industry, can start to feel a bit predictable after awhile. I’m lucky in that I’ve never lost my love for lingerie, but I have lost a bit of my whimsy. Perhaps that’s why I was so delighted when I first ran across My Elenoula Intimates late last year. There’s something to be said for lingerie that just […]

Stars and Jewels: The Wearable Lingerie Art of Rosie von Boschan
Editor’s Note: Some of the images below contain nudity. I named myself “The Lingerie Addict” almost as a joke years ago, but the more I write about lingerie, the more I realize there are some genuinely addictive elements to what I do. I’m always looking for another fix, another high, another label to revive those feelings of wonder and awe I had almost constantly when I first became interested in […]

DD+ Luxury Lingerie Review: Adina Reay Silk Pru Bra
Disclosure: This bra was purchased for me to review by The Lingerie Addict. All opinions are my own. Adina Reay is a luxury, full-bust lingerie line. The UK-based brand crafts beautifully-made bras for fuller-busted people, without looking like most other bras in this size range. Simple seam details, delicate hardware and unique fabric choices abound. As a full-busted person who sister sizes into numerous luxury brands that aren’t available my […]
