Lingerie: A Modern Guide, by Lesley Scott

Posted by: | Comments (0)

This is a fabulous book that contains some very interesting facts, pictures and an exciting history of lingerie. The fashion critic and writer, Lesley Scott tells us in the foreword “few items of clothing can so easily create a mood, shift the vibe or set off shivers like the right lingerie.” The first few pages really draw you into the book; the way she explains her love for lingerie in a way that you wouldn’t really think of “perhaps foodie culture is to nutrition what lingerie is to sex: a delicious, extravagant touch of mystery and mastery that makes sex more sensual, less prim and that much more fun.” To give you a little taster of the kind of thing to expect in this book, I have noted some parts which I found particularly fascinating.
