VITAL STATISTICS

"Good underwear shapes your body and your life. It's essentially the art of being a Woman, and, like the art of courtship and chivalry, is perilously close to extinction. I'm a firm believer that the ritual of getting dressed is the ritual of daily self-creation, and the first thing that you put on is your bra and knickers. The world doesn't see what is underneath your dress, but if it makes you feel fantastic then that in itself is a great source of power. Think of it like method acting or a pretty secret for self-respect. When a door is chivalrously opened or a seat offered, it's the difference between a "Thank you" rather than blundering about with a "Well are you sure?" And let's be clear, Men don't really care about underwear, they want it off as soon as possible. We wear it for ourselves. A love affair with lingerie is a love affair with you. " -Annabel Tollman for Agent Provocateur
