Hopeless Lingerie: Introducing 'As Above, So Below'
From the very first collection, I've loved Hopeless Lingerie. Gabrielle 'Gaby' Adamidis, the woman behind Hopeless, is an indie designer who constantly pushes herself; her unique aesthetic is clearly visible in every single collection. And Gaby's commitment to ethical design and production has made me more cognizant of these issues as well.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not the most cerebral of fashion lovers. I can't really get into a technical appreciation of design... that's not what draws me to lingerie. But I can tell you what I like. And I really like this. The 'As Above, So Below' line is available to purchase now from Hopeless Lingerie's website. All pieces are available in XXS-XXL. Custom orders and custom sizing are available as well.
What do you think of Hopeless' latest collection?

Love Hopeless lingerie, always looks so beautifully made and the styling is just perfect, defiantly my taste xx
Definitely my taste, aesthetically—lingerie as if designed by Bauhaus artists!—but I’m having trouble envisioning how they would appear on a more generously proportioned figure such as my own. How do the large sizes actually look?
Hi Mimi, I am slowly adding to a small collection of customer pictures on the Hopeless Lingerie Facebook page – where you can see my garments on some different kinds of body shapes. You can have a look here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151290363737447.1073741825.42164517446&type=3
I actually make a lot of orders for bigger sizes, and having a more generous figure myself actually fit most of my patterns on my curvier bottom. As mentioned in a previous comment the bras are a bit of a different story though!

Gorgeous, as always, I only wish she’d make one or two items with under-wires or subtle boning for those of us uncomfortable with bralettes. I love the cage bra on the website, and the red lace outfits pictured.
Underwires are a long-term work in progress – I am a self taught lingerie maker with a generous bust myself – and my ultimate goal is underwired bras! I am however also a perfectionist – and making a well-fitting bra suitable for production is no small feat. I will get there eventually and I hope you will stick around to see! :) Gaby – Hopeless Lingerie
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing this collection, its creation and journey into being was the most enjoyable of any so far, I am so happy to see that others are enjoying it! xo
Most of it is not quite my aesthetic, but it does look beautifully made. That high-waisted knicker with mesh feature sure caught my attention, though!
I want all of it! I love the simple, edgy aesthetic.
Trinity: I’m in Canada so I have to budget import duties on pretty much all lingerie I buy. Don’t let that deter you from buying beautiful lingerie!
I think most of this collection is on my wishlist. Stunning, love the patterns, the colours, and the cuts.
I LOVE Hopeless Lingerie. I’ve had my eye on them for about a year, but I’m too scared of the import duties to order everything that I’d like.
