For Her: Only Hearts Inner Outerwear Autumn 2011

Only Hearts began in 1978 on Columbus Avenue in New York City. Originally a tiny boutique dedicated to all things heart-shaped (vintage lockets to corsets, the precious to the sensual) the shop quickly became a destination for heart collectors; lovers searching for the perfect token of appreciation, and wanna-be lovers searching for a tempting bribe.

Creator Helena Stuart took the idea to multiple locations and her imaginative personal style easily morphed into designing a fresh, seminal take on lingerie as fashion and her concept of inner outerwear. Eight years ago Helena brought her daughter Kaya on as partner - growing up in Manhattan, she trained at Parsons School of Design and contributes both design and management skills to the company.

Only Hearts lingerie is designed and manufactured in New York City. It is featured in every major magazine, seen on the hottest celebrities, and sold at the finest specialty shops and department stores throughout the world. Debuting at Still Life For Her this week Only Hearts is the first intimate & lingerie line we've ever carried at the store. Nestled safely in our mid-century modern teak display tables, the collection offers sleek, sexy, super fine Stretch Lace bralettes, panties and thongs for our Victoria ladies. Only Hearts attributes the popularity of their Stretch Lace collection to the fabric's unusually soft hand and flattering designs. Stretch lace hugs your curves and lays smooth and invisible under clothing.

Only Hearts, Inner Outerwear, now available at Still Life For Her.
