- Summary/Artist Statement
- A Dressing Room with a View is a lingerie collection inspired by Edwardian fashion. This collection takes turn-of-the-century silhouettes, such as floor-length petticoats, corsets, and dramatic robes, and reimagines them as modern lingerie pieces for 21st-century women. The designer takes a romantically maximalist approach, utilizing a variety of laces, polka-dot tulle, ruffles, pleats, and an infinite amount of trims to create a feminine fantasy with a vintage touch.
- This 1950s-inspired pink and black control slip dress features two contrasting scalloped stretch galloon laces, transparent side panels, and garters. The lack of side seams allows the body to be smoothly shaped by the power mesh. The striped nylon spandex adds a dash of retro flair.
