Your Essence
We recently heard two art historians discuss how their interest in a certain epoch was ultimately distilled into the study of the decorative arts. Because it was all there in an object. LIke a crystal ball. That, with careful study, revealed its mysteries. In a similar way, your own self shyly resides in the first layer of clothing that hardly anyone sees. It protects while it subtly announces. This delightful irony defines lingerie.
And once you wear the finest lingerie, you don’t worry too much about what to add on top. That takes care of itself, because lingerie leads the way. Very efficient as well as soul-satisfying. Here are some JV examples:
A first foray into couture lingerie might be with Karolina Laskowska’s newest: the Ephyra Lingerie Set in sea-foam-colored embellished lace. Its sheer high neckline flatters and protects, while its monowire and highly-adjustable straps support your bust in a lovely way. Perhaps on the first day, you would just allow the Ephyra to peek out beneath a big shirt, such as the Sicily Linen Longline Shirt from Derek Rose. Just add a short skirt or cropped pants. And tomorrow, you might be ready to show a bit more, under the Astri Slip Dress from Emma Harris.
To reveal your stripped down, graceful spirit, we recommend the perfection of lingerie knits by Japanese label Aromatique. All in black, the choices include the Triangle Bralette Set, the Salon Bralette Set, or the Black Rib Silk Bodysuit. They could interchange all summer with the Rib Silk Half Slip with lace panel around the knee. And keep you comfortable and breezy under summer dresses. In the evening, they’d add dimension under the flirty (and glorious) purple Passion Violet slip dress from Merle Noir.
In fact, Emma Harris’s eye for color could be your future inspiration. Each piece she creates, some exclusively for Jane's Vanity, seems more beautiful than the last: the Elsa in chestnut, the Astri in ice blue, the Clara in vintage rose or moss, the Celeste in raspberry, the Rochelle in lime. Choose a new color signature for yourself, in choice of lingerie sets, lacy chemises, pajamas, and robes.
Let JV lingerie be a talisman/taliswoman, a guidepost to your very essence. It is a blessing from JV and its women-owned and operated businesses that channel beauty and strength.
