Some pretty poison destined for my next proper collection. Beaded French lace with 3D sequinned blossoms 💚

My contemporary, lingerie take on the Robe De Style silhouette that was popularised in the 1920s. It still needs a few small tweaks to be truly finished, but it's one of those projects I may procrastinate indefinitely on...

Luna, a bespoke bralet from 2021, crafted from one of the most opulent French laces I've ever handled. Every time I work with heavily beaded laces I say 'never again!', only to be easily seduced again by the sparkle once enough time has passed for my hands to recover...

There's something so wonderfully decadent about lace hosiery. The next collection will be featuring some exquisite lace stockings, but maybe socks need to be revisited too 🖤

A fragment of 19th century silk in my collection. One of these days I'd like to turn it into a pair of stays, but I'm still seeking a perfect colour match on the silk duchesse I'll need to pair it with.

The Calypso bra from my Hesperides collection: silk French lace, with silk ribbon embroidered rose nipples. I think most people saw this design as just a little bit silly, but it still makes me very happy and I have zero regrets about its creation/inclusion in the collection! 🌹

Lace appliqué is one of my favourite embellishments for corsetry. Last year, I wrote a guide sharing all of my tips and tricks on my Patreon, covering topics like sourcing, equipment and techniques ❤️ patreon.com/posts/110964...

I'm not in a position to work on that collection just yet, but I am dreaming of it more and more. Here's to hoping I'll find the time for it once I've finally made it back to London and found my feet again.

I've had grand plans percolating in my mind for a while now, for a whole collection of one-of-a-kind pieces entirely based around antique textiles. Not products, but just beauty and craft for the sake of it.

All materials have limited lifespans, and I think it honours the craft and skill behind these to use them to create new Art.

Karolina Laskowska @karolinalaskowska.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

...and now my thoughts have come right back the other way. Yes, these textiles are precious and beautiful and finite. But what is the point of them just living in storage?

Karolina Laskowska @karolinalaskowska.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

I've been hoarding antique laces for a little while now. Initially, because I was in awe of the beauty of them. In some of my earlier collections, I used the laces in some of my designs before deciding that they were too precious to be used in new creations, and should instead be preserved...

I'm incredibly grateful to Lowana for running this sale, as I'm going through a bit of a difficult time right now, and all sales help to offset the vast relocation costs that I'm currently facing. All orders are hugely appreciated, and there's some serious bargains to be found! 🖤
