OFF-WHITE TUTU
Confession: this is the first tutu I made. It has been my muse as it undergoes countless experiments. Scissors, spray paint, beads, fashion shows - this tutu has been to the dark side and back. It’s really quite stunning on the body, evoking the tutus from the early 20th century’s Ballet Russes.

ROSE COLORED TUTU
I love rose.

ROME
Where the baroque look began in 1600. This beautiful underwear captures the delicate and ornate style.
Ps. They don’t want to hide under your clothes…

BRAZIL ‘70
I thought of tanned beach bunnies loitering at La Jolla shores. The 70’s, when we first saw the top of the crack peering out from low cut bathing suits. These are just a touch sexier though, a little more Brazilian.

EVERYDAYS
Comfortable. Made from organic cotton, sans crotch seam, and softer than after-shower powder. They come in black, white, sage, sort of a light brown, eggplant, red, and light pink.

INDUSTRIAL Series
Industrial because… they are the reason sophunderwear exists, of the way they are made, and the times in fashion that they reference. Each pair is time-consumingly constructed. Each pair is different, like the women they were meant to adorn.
I love the bathing suits and underwear of decades past. Lines were created to compliment a woman’s body, textiles were noble and the details were stunning.
Margit Fellegi created this suit using the same fabric that was used to make parachutes at the time (1942). Makes sense. (from LACMA’s California Design Exhibition).

PRETTY Series
These came about after making EVERYDAYS, I added vintage lace (that I had purchased at an antique market in Florence, Italy). At the same time I was making the INDUSTRIAL series. The PRETTY series falls in between these two styles. Their loveliest characteristics are in the details.
