Sometimes you can’t foresee who will wander in and make your career soar to new heights. Not long after the company’s formation in 2007, founder Alexandra Popa teamed with freelance designer Javier Suarez and developed Bordelle lingerie from the ground up. What they wanted to do was simple – bridge the gap between the ever-changing RTW market and static intimate apparel industry. The result is a body-conscious line with a smart S&M sensibility that unites the sexiness of inner-wear with the practicality of outerwear. The Spring 2012 collection is beautifully designed and deliciously risqué. Click for the gallery.

I stole my first pair of platforms from the Spice Bus in 1997 when Anglophilia was all the rage. Collector of vintage bags, vinyl and kitchen appliances. My dream of becoming a butcher is momentarily on hiatus so I can teach you how to wear muumuus and apply false eyelashes. Follow me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.
