Adore by Fleur of England — Lingerie with the Soul of a Tattoo

Adore may be the most conceptual collection Fleur of England has ever created. Rendered entirely in black, the line includes two balconette bras, a triangle bra, several brief styles, a suspender belt, and a babydoll — each piece more quietly arresting than the last.

The collection is crafted from sheer French tulle, across which hand-embroidered leaves and stems trail in intricate, flowing patterns. Against the near-invisible ground of the tulle, the black embroidery produces a striking illusion — the effect of exquisite, delicate tattoos on bare skin. Lustrous black silk and gold-tone hardware frame the elaborate floral motifs, lending the collection a sense of dark, refined opulence.
