Caroline Knopf; Lingerie & Photography

caroline knopf

Photographer: Caroline Knopf

We love these photos because they combine two of our favorite things: ballet and lingerie. These photos are from ZOOZOOM, our new favorite online magazine! What's pretty nice about this shoot is that the underwear is provided by American Apparel and Circus. The talent of the photographer/model/stylist comes through when we believe that she's wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothing. Or better yet, when someone is able to combine the everyday with the high-end...exquisite!

We were so excited (as though we found lingerie heaven) when we found these lovely images by Blaise Lavigne for ZOOZOOM's online magazine. Each photo has lingerie from one of our favorite designers; all tastefully appointed with rich colors.
The photos & lingerie are supposed to embody the cabaret life during the Jazz Age. Here's an excerpt from the magazine that relates to many of the high-fashion pieces we have at Faire Frou Frou:

Too ostentatious for its intentions to be limited to wearing where it cannot be seen, too revealing to be functional as protection against even temperate weather, and too beautiful to place within the parameters of functionality, lingerie that embodies the subversive cabaret lifestyle survives today. And where does it live? It coyly sneaks out from beneath outerwear and dances of the stage of the imagination ( a place where style exists without the threat of extinction).

For those of you who think you need a boyfriend/husband to justify purchasing beautiful lingerie, this quote is for you! ;-)
