We recently had the pleasure of meeting the very talented designer (and Faire Frou Frou shopper) Kelima K, a New York-based designer who specializes in bridal and couture gowns.
We instantly fell in love with her work, and her eye for beautiful details. We particularly enjoyed her gorgeous one-of-a-kind kimono...something like that should be in our boutique!
Of Japanese American heritage, Kelima is inspired by the tradition and styles of her ancestry as well as elements of nature. She custom makes couture gowns in her NYC studio, with a typical lead time of 4 months and costs ranging from $1,200 to $7,500. This would be a perfect place to create a wedding gown, particularly if you cherish fine details and craftsmanship.
Here is a small sample of her work. For more details, you can visit her website at Kelima K.

Happy New year!

Gilda & Pearl is the kind of sweet and timeless lingerie you would expect to see in a fairytale - perfect for someone very feminine who is looking for something luxuriously self-indulgent. The totally handmade pieces are made of silks, ribbons, and lace, and are inspired by screen glamour of the 40s and 50s. The Marilyn collection has even been adapted from original vintage lingerie patterns! Bras come in sizes 32A-38C, and knickers come in S-L.

You can order collections from their online boutique, and they also take special requests. You can contact Gilda & Pearl if you want a change to the fabric, style, or size of existing designs. If you want a bow removed, or a change of the ribbon color, they can probably meet your requests so you have wonderfully unique pieces. They also accept commissions for wedding lingerie or other bespoke items. If you need to drop a hint so that certain someone knows what to get you for Valentine’s Day, or if you want to request a wishlist from your beloved so you know what she wants the most, you can do both of those from the Gilda & Pearl website.

Perhaps it’s something about the season – while my beloved is one of the least sentimental men I know, I got engaged just before Christmas. In fact, most of the people I know got engaged in the December holiday season.

The wedding industry knows this. As a result, most big bridal shows are scheduled, year after year, in January. All over the continent, women are planning for their summer nuptials while it’s cold and snowy outside. Most are planning 18 months out.

I bucked the trend. I got engaged in December and married the following June. Our thought was: we’re sure we found the right person. Why wait?

While I was convinced of the man, my first and last bridal show almost drove me to elope. My best friend and I decided to go – just for the experience. Once I was identified as the bride, I’d invariably be asked “When is the wedding?” When I’d answer with “This June”, the response was always a sharp intake of breath and a look of sheer horror. Clearly, they thought I was nuts.

I guess I just wasn’t into the trappings of a wedding enough to get caught up in the hype.

That didn’t stop me from enjoying the show. One nice benefit of a bridal show is the focus on fashion. Today, you can not only find beautiful outer fashion, but inner fashion as well. Of course, at BraWise, we think getting the right wedding lingerie is at least as important as the right gown.

It’s tough to shop for the right foundation for your dress. Nothing beats seeing a garment “live and in person”. A good bridal show with both vendors and catwalk exhibitions can help you visualize what you want. Lingerie displays may allow you to see how an item is worn – and help you to decide if it is right for you.

If you can, bring along your dress to try on over any lingerie that you are interested in. Obviously, the inner fashions must work well with the outer.

If the bridal show doesn’t give you enough time to shop for the lingerie of your dreams, perhaps your friends could throw a “lingerie shower“. My buddies did exactly that – a co-ed shower for me and my beloved that allowed us a chance to see the fashions (for both males and females), feel the fabrics and exchange a few jokes with our friends. Not only was it a lot of fun, but we were treated to the lingerie of our choice, with our “host” credits.

I highly recommend it.

Romantic Lingerie by Sally Jones

If you’re in need of a little help to chase away those back-to-work blues there’s nothing better than romantic lingerie to get you back on track! One of our favourite designers, Sally Jones, has come up with another range of stunning collections, all with that romantic touch to make us feel unbelievably special.

What we love so much about this Welsh designer who resides in Australia, is that she has the ability to turn silk, lace and tulle into the most divine, vintage-inspired creations and still give them a contemporary look. We adore the little hints of tasteful ‘naughtiness’ disguised by the romance surrounding the designs - a cut-out at the front of the Teddy (main image) with only a small clasp holding together the cups; sheer fabrics cut sexily to show off just the right amount of flesh. It’s just what the lingerie doctor ordered to add some spice to the endless, dark winter nights!

Where to Buy Sally Jones

If you’re thinking: this is all very beautiful, but my wallet is going back into hibernation at the very thought of luxury lingerie - fear not - these gorgeous creations are surprisingly affordable for such an amazing label. Starting at around £60 for a Chiffon Top and £156 for the stunning, lace Teddy, Sally Jones creations are timeless, beautifully made and above all will chase away the feeling that Winter will never end!

Sally Jones is available at Mio Destino in the UK,Dollhouse Bettie for those in the US, and Australian readers can find SJ at Cherry Noire.

Sally Jones will also be exhibiting at the Harrogate Lingerie Exhibition from the 22nd to 24th of February. Check out more of her collections at Sally Jones!

Now is the time to refresh your drawers at Elizabeth Wells, you’ll find some great discounts on everyday lingerie including bras from £15, handmade corsets with better than half price deals, handmade silk lounge-wear which is positively cheap!

I will do one Eve's Apples Lingerista Resolution for each month of 2009 until I've reached 12 Resolutions by December. They are as follows:

1. I will throw away any granny panties
2. I will get measured properly! I will go to either Nordstrom, Rigby & Peller, or a boutique that specializes in fittings (not a mall chain) to get measured and ensure my measurement is correct
3. I will discover if my breast shape affects my bra size
4. I will wear lingerie for me
5. I will see which lingerie makes me feel good, any item that doesn't will immediately get thrown away. Any bras that are gently worn will be donated friends, family, Goodwill, the Salvation Army or sent to Gigi's Closet Bra Drive in the US or Breast Appeal in the UK
6. I will invest in good, high quality lingerie that will last me a long while--no more disposable, cheap lingerie
7. I will find out how my moods are affected by the lingerie color that I wear
8. I will buy one nice chemise or lingerie set that makes me feel like a queen and wear it "just because"
9. I will accept my body
10. I will acknowledge that my body is perfect in all of its unique and glorious "imperfections"
11. I will wear matching lingerie (bras and panties) everyday--no matter who sees it
12. I will be adventuresome and try a new style of panties that has scared me in the past

Above all, throughout 2009, I will Celebrate My Inner Eve!

Here’s the sad truth: I don’t look like Janet Jackson, Elle McPherson or Dita Von Teese. I will never, even in my wildest dreams, have the sculpted abs of Scary Spice, or the petite perfection of Posh Spice - both of whom are now underwear models.

Even if I wear a celebrity lingerie line, complete with bra and matching panty (or other accessories) I’m never going to look like one of these women. So why are bra and underwear manufacturers streaming to celebrities like lemmings to a cliff?

It’s all about sales. It’s all about notoriety.

We love celebrities, don’t we? We are endlessly curious about them: their spouses, their children, their outings. We also want to know who makes the clothes they wear. As red carpet season approaches, we’ll all be following the designers that made the gowns that are worn by the stars.

Now, we can even follow the brands of lingerie that these celebrities endorse or design.

Let’s take Janet Jackson as an example. In August 2008, Jackson announced a new line of lingerie called “Pleasure Principle”. It’s a perfect play on words, making use of Jackson’s hit music and status as a cultural icon to promote a line of bras and panties. While I admire that the line didn’t appear to shy away from color and understood that women come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, the real selling point here was Jackson herself.

Jackson’s lingerie was supposed to hit stores in the US in November 2008. There wasn’t much hoopla when the time came - perhaps she was overshadowed by US economic woes. However, she appears to have disappeared into the sea of lingerie without even a splash. I certainly know that I haven’t seen her stuff in stores and I can’t find anyone on the web selling it.

Still, celebrities are the models of choice for many designers of intimate apparel. Witness the big deal that Victoria Beckham - Posh Spice - got for showing off her skivvies for Armani. She joins her handsome husband David Beckham in the family business of appearing semi-clad.

Maybe I’m just jealous. The only person that will ever ask me to model my undies is my beloved.

Der Kommissar is a Dutch label. Started in late 2004, the brand has been developed by fashion designer Annelies Nuy. Nuy was educated at the Art Academy of Arnhem. She says “Everyone has one or more alter egos hidden within themselves. You can either hide them but also accentuate them. With my lingerie and lingerie accessories you can accentuate them explicitly. Every woman can show her own fantasies with my lingerie. To others, but especially to themselves.” Nuy believes this so sincerely that her collection is called Alterego and Ego.

For those familiar with the “Four P’s of marketing”, Der Kommissar has defined their own: Please (naïve and innocent), Play (playful and naughty), Passion (tempting and seducing), and Power (strong and provocative). Nuy says that these Four P’s influence each collection.

Here are some selections from the Ego and Alterego lines from Der Kommissar:

Besides the Ego and Alterego collection, Der Kommissar also does fashion shows with specialty pieces including Valentines, holiday, and resort wear. The fashion shows are limited editions and not available through all distribution channels. Watch the video of a Der Kommissar fashion show:

Here are some bonus pictures from Der Kommissar:

Der Kommissar is available throughout the home country. In foreign countries, coverage is not as dense. Online, I’ve found the best sources is Dutch Designer Outlet. DDO also carries some of the special, limited edition pieces from the fashion shows.

‘Tis the season for resolutions. Of course, Cameron Diaz had a great resolution – she says she’s going to start wearing a bra! (Can you imagine the run on whatever style of bra she decides to wear?)

However, it’s not just about how we look on the outside. It’s also important that we do as much as possible to ensure those breasts are healthy on the inside too.

While there is a lot of information out there that talks about the benefits of a lower fat diet and exercise, we forget that some fats are actually very healthy for us and our breasts. Dr Christine Horner, a surgeon and advocate for women’s health says that her top tip for breast health is to make sure you are getting Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.

According to Horner, Omega-3’s have four significant benefits for breast health:

1. They decrease the strength of estrogen in the breast tissue. Since many cancers of the breast can be worsened by estrogen in the breast tissue, this is a real protective benefit.
2. They quell the cancer-promoting fires of chronic inflammation. While that inflammation may not be in the breasts per se, it can be the trigger for cancer to start in the body.
3. They cause breast tumors to shrink in size. So, Omega-3’s continue to help even if you are already dealing with cancer.
4. They prevent existing tumors from metastasizing or spreading.

Your best bet for plant-based source of these healthy fatty acids are flax seeds. These little beauties can be added to salads or sprinkled on yogurt for both a satisfying crunch and a boost of Omega-3’s. Walnuts are another handy source of this breast-healthy nutrient: add them to your morning cereal or carry a handful for a snack. There are other advantages to walnuts as a snack, not the least of which is that you won’t get hungry again right away. Walnuts are a compact package of healthy fats combined with protein to make them an ideal addition to a fast-paced life. Just pop a 1/4 cup into a bag and put them in your purse or lunch. Your body will thank you.

The best dietary source of Omega-3’s is wild salmon or herring. I make salmon a regular part of our family dinners – we usually eat it at least once a week. If you can handle the taste and don’t want to eat fish all the time, consider a good quality fish oil that is certified free of contaminants. You won’t just help to keep your breasts healthy, but the rest of your body too.

Deborah Fleming is the designer behind Pistol Panties swimwear. The British/Colombian designer aims for combining quirky style and feminine glamour. Deborah began the business in the early 2000s with hand crafted pieces she made in her kitchen. She sold them all to Selfridges and they sold out within a week. From their, the brand took off with a lot of hard work from Deborah overseeing fabric prints, cuts, and manufacturing. Today, Pistol Panties can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys, Selfridges, Villa Moda, and Deborah’s own store in Notting Hill. Deborah’s site suggests that Pistol Panties are available at Figleaves, but I couldn’t find them. I did find them at NYC’s Catriona Mackechnie and online here as well as Bordello in London and online here. Deborah is also running an online store.

CALGARY, AB – Nicky Arsenault, a nurse who had been out at a bar for the evening, found two men on the sidewalk bleeding when she left the bar. One was bleeding very heavily from a large cut on the left side of his head. She started to administer first aid but didn’t have anything to stop the flow of blood.

She took off her bra and used it as a compression bandage. Apparently, even a bra can be a multi-purpose garment! Emergency workers said that Arsenault’s timely action had saved her patient’s life.

I’ve taken first-aid and CPR courses: I don’t remember “Bras As Bandages” taught anywhere in the course curriculum. There is some real humor here though: the man on the ground bleeding owes his life to a bra. Here’s hoping that the guy is appreciative enough to spring for some new lingerie for his heroine.

While you may not know it, the humble bra can actually be a medical device. For instance, you can buy specialized bras to help heart surgery patients. In fact, Dr Kathryn King, a researcher out of the University of Calgary, has developed a special bra to reduce pain. The new design allowed women to wear a bra immediately after surgery, and kept the weight of the breasts from putting pressure on the surgical wound.

The post-heart surgery bra is made with a zipper in the front, so that it’s easy to put on. The fit is tight to reduce movement and pressure. It is free of metal clasps that can interfere with x-rays or other medical imaging devices.

Heck - with a zipper at the front, I think I know other people that might be interested. There are definitely days that I do not want to have to pop a shoulder or wrench an elbow getting my bra clasps done up at the back.

Of course, if you get any kind of significant breast surgery, your bra will be more medical device than glamorous lingerie. In most cases, after surgery you’ll be looking at a compression bra or compression garment of some kind. Most bras that cater to surgery patients will have the closing in the front (although not all) - and may also be recommended for sports where significant reduction of movement is required.

In the meantime, if you should happen to come upon an accident scene, let’s hope you have something else available to use for first aid - besides your bra.
