Fashion Unbound

September 4th, 2010

Sweet Revenge Lingerie will be represented at the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s Fashion Unbound runway show with two looks.

The Fashion Unbound call for designers asked for uncanny silhouettes and unexpected materials. To make it Sweet Revenge, I’m taking inspiration from structural historic underpinnings and modernizing the look for a tongue-in-cheeky look at lingerie. Corsets and petticoats mix with funky accessories to create looks that are technically undergarments, but the beautiful fabrics and startling silhouettes make them oh-so-much more.

The shows are October 22nd, 7pm and 8pm, at the Toby Theatre in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The last fashion shows the IMA held were packed to capacity, so you may want to purchase tickets in advance. The price of admission is $12 for public, $7 for IMA members. See the IMA website for more information.

Designer Trends in Lingerie

July 6th, 2010

So, I hear Jean Paul Gaultier is going to design a line of lingerie for La Perla. How exciting–I cannot wait to see what he comes up with.  It does seem that lingerie is becoming more mainstream in general–we’re seeing it grace the runway mixed into dresses, with suits, day wear, etc.

Sweet Revenge is up with the times. Looking ahead to Spring 2011, we’ve come up with some basic pieces in more luxurious fabrics, which can mix and match with corsets and waist cinchers. Wear them at home, or layer them for a “going out” look, I won’t tell! The basic nightgowns/negligees are made of cottons and silks, while the corsets are made of damasks and printed velvets, all in a palette of cream, lilac, gold and white. Fresh, playful and just right for spring.

Golds, creams, lilac and white make the palette fresh for spring.
