Each year she organises a pop-up featuring a selection of UK independent fashion brands with a vintage style, where you can meet the makers and try on a gorgeous selection of... Continue Reading →
I have kept a close eye on the London College of Fashion BA (Hons) Fashion Contour graduates since 2014* and was lucky enough to be invited along to the catwalk event organised by this year's graduating class. On Thursday 12th July, I headed to east London for an evening of lingerie, loungewear and swimwear, featuring... Continue Reading →
Fans of exquisite lingerie will have seen it already, but I just couldn't resist posting about the stunning Aurora collection, which is a collaboration between luxury full-bust brand Harlow & Fox and award winning couture lingerie designer Karolina Laskowska.

I've clearly not been paying enough attention to some of my favourite brands lately, because some news just popped up in the private Lingerie Addicts group on Facebook that I somehow missed last month...

I love discovering independent lingerie brands, especially when they make beautiful bras that fit me! Launched in 2015, Adina Reay is a UK-based luxury full bust brand which offers delicate looking yet wonderfully supportive bras in UK sizes 28DD to 36G. As I now own a complete set of Adina Reay lingerie, I thought I'd... Continue Reading →
On Saturday 30th September, I headed into Soho to visit the Lara Intimates studio for a 'fit party'. Buying lingerie online can be tricky, and Lara founders Faith and Cindy know that getting measured and trying on bras in person is the best way to get a perfect fit, so they invited fans of the...

Whether or not you wear them, chances are you probably don't realise just how complicated bras are to design and how difficult they are to manufacture. Many people, confused by the low prices and speedy turnaround of fast fashion retailers, expect that all brands should offer all sizes and that anything over £20 is horribly... Continue Reading →
