“Levels to Your Love” collection explores the divine feminine figure. The collection emphasizes sensuous silhouettes that tease. It employs kissing lace to suggest that women can express their deepest desires.
This backless bra features handmade detachable gloves. The satin ribbon loops the bra strap and closes with a Swarovski crystal button.
The boudoir skirt features kissing lace, a classic technique used in lingerie, accented with strung black beads, finished with a hook and eye closure in the back.
The backless bra is constructed with black satin elastic halter and side straps. A clear strap around the back allows for the support the wearer needs while maintaining a backless look.
This look is for the bold, confident woman. What level of love will she explore?

Intimate Apparel
I fell head over heels in love with New York City, fashion, and FIT while going back and forth between the city and the Connecticut suburbs. I was six years old when I first started visiting the Museum at FIT, knowing full well this is what I wanted to do. Here you can wear whatever you feel like and no one will question you. Fashion is a way to express who you are to the world in the simplest way. I design to empower and compliment women. I chose intimate apparel to amplify women’s sex appeal. Designing to create confidence in raw, intimate moments where you can feel vulnerable. Establishing women to know their true worth. I create to make a bold statement using intricate laces and hand-beaded touches while focusing on a modern take of intimate apparel by mixing in evening wear elements.
