Angela Friedman A/W 2013

When Angela Friedman showed me a sneak preview of her Autumn/Winter range way back in April, I was, for lack of a better word, awestruck. So many lingerie labels adopt the word "luxury" into their brandspeak, but very few actually convey that refined, elegant, timeless sense of opulence luxury lingerie really gives you (or at least should give you). Angela Friedman's latest collection is very obviously vintage-inspired, but it doesn't feel derivative; she's made classic silhouette feel new again. And as someone who's been a fan of her work for years, let me just say I'm happy to see that Ms. Friedman hasn't left her corsetry roots behind. Most of the pieces in the collection are available in sizes XS through L or XL. In addition, true made-to-order custom sizing is available for all garments, and all items shown below in black are also available in white (and vice versa).
