Loungerie

Kriss Soonik launched her first collection in 2008 introducing her signature talent for giving the “underwear as outerwear” concept a fresh and modern twist. When the traditional approach has been about corsets as eveningwear, Kriss Soonik has started a new wave – wearing velour gowns to a Sunday brunch. In 2009 the term “loungerie” was born. Loungerie is luxe loungewear at its freshest, blurring the boundaries with fashion. It is loungewear with an edge.

Blavatska

Inspired by all things galactic and celestial, Yes Master channels its inner Blavatska...

Glamery, is inspired by the mysticism of love; drawing inspiration from enchantment, spells and white magic, the collection toys with celestial symbolism and night symbols. Inspired by the eerie feeling of a full moon casting its shimmer on an urban landscape spooky moons evokes the excitement of a big night out somewhere dangerous. The Boudoir collection uses elements of packaging of age-old lotions and potions, with rope tassels and curvy top stitching to create a seductive and versatile silhouette of pieces that can be worn as luxury basics for day or dressed up for the evening.

Love In A Hopeless Place

Long time Hostess readers will know I'm a massive fan of the Australian ladies behind Hopeless Lingerie. In less than three years of existence, Hopeless Lingerie has managed to set a new standard in creativity and style. Taking inspiration from such diverse places as B-grade horror films, architecture and modern art, designer Gabrielle Adamidis with the help of her sister Dominique have established a strong following through innovative designs. Combining vintage aesthetics with modern comfort and convenience, Hopeless create pieces that aim to make women feel sexy and beautiful.
