Lingerie As Art ~ Art Basel & Lingerie Français

Lingerie Français is a unique exhibition curated by historian Catherine Orman.  100 pieces of French Lingerie “illustrating significant developments in fashion, technological innovation, legendary craftsmanship, the morphing silhouette and the ever-evolving ideals of feminine propriety” will be shown in tandem with several internationally respected artists, such as M.J. Van Huijkelom, whose use of the female self informs their work. The photography by Gilles Berquet elegantly combines with the extraordinary undergarments on exhibit shortly at the Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach from 11/29 to 12/6
