“Creating Desire from Within”<br />
AN EROTIC EXPLORATION<br />
this book started as an exploration into what elements actually make a piece of fragile fabric such an<br />
erotic item in the rst place. Where does that alluring power come from, and how does a designer work<br />
that magic into each gorgeous esh-wrapping piece of art? After looking at the work of hundreds of<br />
lingerie designers and picking the brains of those behind the brands, you would think the answer could be<br />
easily attained. But actually it is nearly an impossible endeavor. I’ve learned that lingerie is only as erotic<br />
on the outside as the woman feels on the inside. And the designers in the following pages — those I consider<br />
the best lingerie artists in the world — are incredibly skilled at creating that sense of desire from within.<br />
e journey began with a relaxed conversation with a true lingerie acionado: Lisa Z. Morgan, a conceptual<br />
artist and philosopher of the sensuous, who also happens to be the co-founder of the incredibly luxurious Strumpet<br />
& Pink line of lingerie and the deliciously fragrant Pink-ness No.6 perfume. Lisa applies the philosophy and<br />
psychology of desire and eroticism to her overall approach to design, whether it be for an installation piece or one of<br />
her exotic knickers. Here we start to slowly reveal the secrets behind the erotic power of lingerie.<br />
— What is it about lingerie that makes it erotic? — It is all about what is concealed and what is revealed. Wherever there<br />
is room for the imagination to journey has the potential to become erotic. You could feel sexy in a sack depending<br />
upon how you feel inside. Condence or self-knowledge is personal and beyond the fabric that lies on the skin. But<br />
a burlap sack can rarely make a woman feel sexy on its own, can it? —You can’t really make a sweeping generalization<br />
about what will bring out the condence or sexuality in a woman. is is awakened in some people when they’re<br />
dressed from head-to-toe in rubber, that’s what works for them—the restraint. ere are so many variables and<br />
nuances that it’s impossible to be prescriptive. So it’s one thing to make a woman feel good. How does lingerie make a<br />
woman feel erotic? — One aspect could be dressing up as escapism, which can be a thrilling and liberating addition or<br />
diversion from the routine. at kind of play is pleasurable and can lead to eroticism. For the woman who wears it, or<br />
the man who peels it o? — What a woman thinks she needs to make her feel desirable is often very dierent from<br />
what a man actually desires. Many men simply want their woman naked. It is all about seeing and feeling the esh.<br />
We have dierent perspectives. Women always want to be slimmer and struggle to attain the ‘airbrushed’ visual<br />
sexuality that is portrayed and sold by the mainstream media and what most men actually want is more esh on their<br />
women. Men prefer the “real” woman. So in creating great lingerie, which woman do you have to design for: the woman<br />
they want to be or for the “real” woman they truly are? — It is one thing to look beautiful, and it is a very dierent thing<br />
to feel beautiful. We know all those phases of deep vulnerability. We understand the anxieties women experience with<br />
their bodies and explore these preoccupations in our design aesthetic. We also know how contradictory women are<br />
by nature and layer these paradoxes into our designs. Some women tell me that they only own and wear sexy lingerie. But<br />
aren’t there times that we all secretly love to wear the baggy pajama? — I do challenge any woman who says she only has<br />
gorgeous lace knickers in her drawer. I think there will always be a pair of knickers you’ve had for years that for some<br />
reason seem really comfortable; they t in all the ways you like and you love the familiar feel of them. We tried to<br />
incorporate that feeling of ease, playing with the comfy and ‘sensible’ idea when we rst created the big knickers, only<br />
we made them exquisitely beautiful. So you have the best of both worlds. But you mentioned that sometimes wearing<br />
6<br />
lingerie is a kind of escape from reality? — Yes but the worst thing in the world is when a woman buys a piece of lingerie<br />
because she feels she should. at is the danger for pushing the sex factor in lingerie. It becomes about the pressure<br />
to be ready for sex at any moment. How often do you wear lingerie yourself? — I am more of a collector. I appreciate<br />
lingerie as one appreciates art. It also marks a stage in one’s personal history. I have a pair of Mary Quant knickers<br />
that I bought in my late teens. I certainly don’t wear them but I love the buttery print and when I see these knickers<br />
there’s a sort of provenance about them. What are some of the reasons—good or bad—that any woman would buy<br />
lingerie? — Some buy it to please the man, depending on the situation that can be both good and bad. Some buy it<br />
because it makes them feel good, in which case it has a ‘roll-on’ eect. If a woman feels good then everything<br />
improves. I think some women buy lingerie because they think they should and this is the worst reason to buy<br />
anything ever. I received an email today from a guy wanting to place an order. A week was booked in a hotel with his<br />
loved one and he wrote ‘Of course a fabulously fancy pair of knickers will be required.’ Obviously for this couple<br />
dressing up is an important part of their sex-life which is wonderful. Does lingerie help one’s sex life? — ere are many<br />
ways to keep your relationship alive but if you really love someone, desire them, it doesn’t matter if you’ve got your<br />
knickers on or not. Aside from your own line, what do you nd the sexiest lingerie of all? — Victorian bloomers because<br />
they have this amazing cross over slit opening from the waist all the way around to the back. When the women wore<br />
those very long skirts they couldn’t lift all their skirts and petticoats to go to the loo. e incredible thing is that the<br />
design was purely practical, the woman just had to open her legs to go to the toilet. But it’s phenomenally sexual<br />
because you’re entirely covered but with an open route to get inside. To be concealed and yet exposed is very erotic.<br />
But what about those pieces of lingerie that are so uncomfortable and impractical for the sake of creating sensuality? — I<br />
think there are dierent levels of discomfort. Bondage and restraint are sexual because the level of discomfort is<br />
pushed. Equally if something is completely impractical then you head into a whole other area and the objective<br />
becomes about creating an object, a wearable art piece that has nothing to do with practicality. It seems that the ones<br />
that really do well in lingerie design are the ones that look at it as an art form, a playful one at that? — We certainly think<br />
of lingerie as wearable art. It is not practical on any level – the only critical element is that it feels wonderful to wear<br />
no matter how many corners you apply to an idea or design. We created “Ming’s Vase,” a pair of knickers entirely<br />
lined with peony owers. Focusing on the outside visuals is part of the two-dimensional world. To go beyond that is<br />
to create a more resonant intimate feeling for the woman. In this case as if she is being held by hundreds of pure silk<br />
peony petals complete with golden stamens. Even the one who is undressing her, and she will require help because<br />
there are many tiny buttons, is not going to know how it feels to be in that pair of knickers with all those owers. So<br />
what would be your rst piece of advice for aspiring lingerie designers based on that philosophy? — Never design for a<br />
particular ‘market.’ Create the pieces that you see or feel in your mind. Lingerie…luxury or necessity? — Luxury.<br />
Something akin to a treasure to be kept forever. To keep in your drawer and at 85 in your rocking chair you can<br />
ruminate about ‘ourishing’ times. Or at 85 years old you could be still wearing them while sitting in your rocking chair!<br />
Besides lingerie, what other items enhance a woman’s life? — Very dark chocolate and most denitely red lipstick. I even<br />
wear it at home on my own. Even in comfy sensible knickers? — And my hessian sack. Absolutely!<br />

“Inner Armor for Outer Empowerment”<br />
FOREWORD<br />
In the past years, the Seven Bar Foundation has had the great fortune of working with some of the most brilliant<br />
couture and luxury lingerie designers, who have clothed (even for just a moment) the most beautiful role models,<br />
politicians, executives, et al. ese designers work season after season with an understood goal: to highlight the<br />
beauty in all of us, outline the curves that make us unique, and shine our armor in a testament to the goddess within<br />
that is the epitome of erceness. e Seven Bar Foundation takes this knowledge and brings it to life in trademarked<br />
top couture and luxury lingerie shows. With Lingerie New York, Miami, Paris, London and the top 15 markets, the<br />
Foundation reaches a critical mass of consciousness with the ladder icon on the runway representing extending<br />
ladders to women out of poverty and into business via micronance. Today’s woman has evolved into an allencompassing<br />
mother, business leader, sex symbol and most importantly as an agent of change to write a history in<br />
which women ride o each other’s wind as opposed to ying solo. ere is always that one person who has given you<br />
that one break. e Seven Bar Foundation gives women their rst break by providing them small loans to come out<br />
of poverty to start their own businesses. For us it is Joe Corre, founder of Agent Provocateur, who gave us our rst<br />
break and we can never forget when he said, “A woman who wears lingerie is in control, and she decides who gets to<br />
see it.” We believe that what you are about to experience in this book lays the vision which we see— as magnicent<br />
as lingerie is to share amongst us, the ultimate power is to redirect this energy to empower the women around the<br />
world.<br />

BLUSH
44<br />
there’s no need to be shy when talking about<br />
Blush’s gorgeous unmentionables, whose delicacy<br />
and romance belie major strength and comfort.<br />
ese durable and witty intimates carry a certain<br />
minx-like je ne sais quoi about them, which makes<br />
perfect sense considering they are made in Montreal, a city<br />
whose history is steeped in the luxurious fur trade and the<br />
charming traditions of Old World France. Blush has given<br />
women the choice of three versatile lines to play with:<br />
Simple Pleasures, Wicked, and Love Game. Working with<br />
durable lace, experimenting with rich colors and using<br />
interesting prints, the Montreal-based team makes the<br />
rened European silhouettes pop, so that a young woman,<br />
her mother, and her grandmother could all nd something<br />
that suits them and still feel sexy.<br />
Biography — Blush is a company with 50 years of<br />
fashion expertise laying its quality foundation. In 1959,<br />
Edward N. Ajmo launched a textile business in the fashion<br />
hub of Montreal, and soon after opened up a venture in Miami<br />
that employed over 1000 people. After successfully selling his<br />
US outpost, Ajmo moved back to his home of Montreal, a city<br />
steeped in rich French tradition and fur trading. His love and<br />
knowledge of fabric lead him to focus on a product where even<br />
the littlest piece of material is of the utmost importance. So he<br />
opened Blush in 1988, which would turn into a leading<br />
Canadian lingerie company. His two children, Justin and<br />
Tiany, have been at the helm since 2001. Blush has the<br />
backbone of family tradition, the fashion-forwardness of the<br />
cosmopolitan Montreal fashion scene, and tasteful marketing<br />
to lead it into the 21 st century.<br />

CAPRICINE
capricine takes its name from Marie-<br />
Antoinette, the notoriously frivolous and<br />
fun-loving teen Queen of eighteenth century<br />
France. While she may not have been the<br />
most diplomatically intelligent woman, she<br />
certainly made great style choices, and that is why Capricine<br />
has chosen her as its muse. e line embraces her youth,<br />
beauty and lightness to create a collection that reveals the<br />
allure of naiveté. Sublimely transforming luxurious<br />
materials like French lace and silk ribbons into wearable<br />
confections resembling delicious pastel petits-fours,<br />
Capricine beckons us away from the dark lace characteristic<br />
of most lingerie into a sunny Petit Trianon proving once<br />
and for all that sweet is sexy.<br />
Biography — Capricine is a Japanese company whose<br />
pretty undies are inspired and designed by the former Miss<br />
Kimono of Kyoto, Chikage Morita, a talented collage artist,<br />
and Rinko Takako, an events producer and nightlife DJ.<br />
While modeling, these two girls-about-town decided to launch<br />
a lingerie brand dedicated to t-focused, well-made intimates,<br />
using their PR abilities to throw fun, lavish fashion shows and<br />
propel their brand to success. Capricine has a sister company<br />
called “Gatez-Moi” that specializes in a dierent style of<br />
lingerie for when it’s clients would like to explore a dierent,<br />
darker side of intimacy.<br />

LA PERLA
204<br />
la Perla always strived to be in the forefront of<br />
fashion. Like most highly fashionable styles,<br />
controversy lends itself to new fashion trends.<br />
Dynamic, body condent women started to wear<br />
undergarments as outerwear while still holding on<br />
to a glamorous and sophisticated look. True to<br />
form, La Perla recognized the movement and began<br />
designing with this exposure in mind. e delicate,<br />
meticulous, and expensive Italian lingerie pieces are still<br />
considered collector’s items and very much another<br />
fashionable outlet for personal expression. e velvet-lined<br />
boxes might be gone today, but the utterly priceless feeling<br />
of possessing one of their pieces still remains.<br />
Biography — ere is no doubt La Perla is Italy’s gem in<br />
the history of lingerie, if not the world. And of course, it all<br />
started with a strong-minded Italian woman. Skilled in the<br />
art of corsetry, Ada Masotti began doing alterations on the<br />
underclothes of the well-to-do women in her building where<br />
she served as a concierge. Shortly after, and with a highly elite<br />
Bolognese client base, Masotti opened her rst boutique in<br />
1954 with the idea of making lingerie women would collect as<br />
an exclusive object of desire delicately wrapped like a ne piece<br />
of pearl jewelry in a red velvet-lined box, hence the name La<br />
Perla.<br />
