Maayan Zilberman for Stylelikeu.com from StyleLikeU on Vimeo.
Together Mayaan and her friend Nikki Dekker co-design the lingerie line "The Lake and Stars". I love The Lake and Stars because not only are the pieces amazing under-garments, but can just as easily be incorporated into your outerwear wardrobe.
Named after a Victorian euphemism for a woman’s skill in the bedroom, The Lake and Stars intimates balance provocation and humor, intelligence and sensuality, for a new vision of feminine style.
For Spring 2011, designers Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman took last season’s idea of “fetish” and explored it as a means of “ritual”. Inspired by the ‘80s New Age approach to spirituality and well-being, and today’s resurgence of communal living and cult practices, the team created their own “family” environment to stage various rituals. Playing with the notion that lingerie can be a key player in the ritual of romance, the new slideshow album, photographed by Tom Hines, offers tongue-in cheek advice on how to stay grounded and how not to take it all too seriously.
Their new lingerie styles offer bold solutions to sheer dressing in opaque pinstriped stretch silk, a lace reminiscent of rippling water, and a signature print made of Maayan & Nikki’s own fingerprints (blue ink on ivory appears as if you’ve been fondled- or security-checked). This season also marks the return of their bestselling garter belt, reminding the ladies that stockings are for all seasons.
... Just a few of my favorite pieces from The Lake and Stars Spring 2011 collection. Both Maayan and Nikki are huge inspirations to me. Check out The Lake and Stars collections and order a piece... or five.
