*NEW 2/6/14: Intimate's Project

I have not yet in my career worked on intimate apparel but I have always been interested and wanted to, and I did this project to show just that.
Being a female that loves lingerie, and having a love and career in fashion I am constantly reading magazines, shopping, and researching trends in the market. My eye has always been drawn to beautiful lingerie.
And I showcased in this project what I've seen trending, big ideas, and a few flat sketches of my own ideas that interpret these trends.
