Lingerie Lust Objects: Samantha Chang Hand Painted Silk Kimonos

I’ve adored these Samantha Chang kimonos since the very first day I saw them. There’s something so opulent and indulgent about silk, and the fact that each robe is individually hand-painted makes it all the more luxurious. I firmly believe that if a label wants to charge luxury prices, then it should be a luxury product. Unfortunately, a lot of high-end names come up short. Samantha Chang doesn’t though. As gorgeous as these photos are, her robes are even more breathtakingly beautiful in person. And one day, I hope this piece moves from the lust list and into my lingerie wardrobe.

Samantha Chang handpainted silk kimonos are $250.00. One size fits all.

All Undone Lingerie A/W 2013 Collection

All Undone ‘The Mai’ Bodysuit

All Undone is a new luxury DD+ label designed and manufactured in the UK.  I love how stark and graphic this lingerie is, no cluttered-up lines from lace, ruffles, or bows. And I really like seeing another version, more high-end version of full-bust lingerie on the market (because more choices for more sizes is always more better). All Undone’s designer collection offers bras available in sizes 28-34, DD-GG; knicker sizes are unknown. The bodysuit below is my favorite piece, but what do you think?

Introducing…Paloma Casile Lingerie

One of the things I love most about having a prescence on social platforms like Tumblr and Pinterest is that it exposes me to so much young design talent. Brands that would never make it into a lingerie trade journal or into an established lingerie boutique are still able to show their collections to the entire world. And the lingerie industry is all the better for it.

One such young designer is the recent Esmod University fashion school graduate Paloma Casile. Already the recipient of design awards and internships with such lingerie greats as Chantal Thomass and Cadolle, Paloma Casile is creating definitely creating collections that catch the eye. Her lace bodysuits have me swooning, and I can easily see her work having a place at even the most elite lingerie boutiques.

I don’t know if Paloma’s work is actually for sale anywhere yet, but if you’d like to keep up with her latest happenings, I recommend follow her on Tumblr, Pinterest, and Facebook.

What do you think of Paloma Casile? Is she one to watch? Would you wear one of these lace bodysuits? Let’s talk about it in the comments!
