(K)night Moves: Dark Medieval Dressing for the Modern Wardrobe
Where battlefield dressing meets everyday armour
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Beneath every fairytale is a story about survival. If medieval style calls to you, perhaps it’s because there is a survivor in your bloodline? Someone that crossed an ocean. Survived a plague. Returned from a war.
These silhouettes and symbols call back to a hard-won victory, at a time when we could all use a win.
This darker interpretation of medieval dressing draws from that not-so-distant history, favouring pieces feel like homage to brave knights and the community they served, acknowledging what has come before and carrying forward its aesthetic of protection.
Designed for the Divine: National Lingerie Day, Properly Observed
13 female-founded labels creating lingerie for the divine feminine
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
The divine feminine appears the moment instinct is no longer edited. She is intuitive, complicated, occasionally feral and entirely uninterested in being polite for the sake of someone else’s comfort. Lingerie designed for her does not attempt to smooth the edges, it celebrates the body exactly as it exists. Every curve. Every dimple. Even the sharp edge of your attitude.
In honour of National Lingerie Day, we gathered 13 labels founded by women who understand this philosophy intimately. These designers create pieces that treat lingerie as expression.
If your lingerie drawer has been feeling uninspired, the below designers have suggestions. Consider this your lingerie drawer upgrade.
