The incredibly sensual Spring/Summer 2017 collection from Akiko Ogawa is led by the most feminine of all materials — the finest silk lace. The ethereal sheerness of these gossamer-light fabrics is used not merely as trim, but as the foundation of the most seductive pieces in the lineup. Airy ruffles along the edges of briefs and bras alternate with sculptural inserts in the most unexpected places.
The brand’s signature black-and-white pieces sit alongside designs in the softest, most delicate tones. A deep navy set commands instant attention and an irresistible desire to possess it. The bra cups extend into a graceful fan-shaped detail, while elegant briefs on a wide satin waistband are adorned with lace flounces. The crown jewel of the collection is a garter belt of such seductive refinement, it qualifies as a design achievement in its own right.
