By now I'm sure my preoccupation with entirely sheer or demi-opaque underpinnings has been documented ad nauseam. So it's no surprise that I'm head-over heels for F.I.T.-trained-designer, Jean Yu's magical (and barely there) lingerie. Yu moves beyond the obvious delicate quality of sheer textiles however, and sculpts normally-diaphanous charmeuses and organzas into structured, graphic undergarment armor. I'm absolutely smitten with the origami folds of and delicate seaming of Yu's pieces, in particular the sheer white "dressing" gown... I'd love to rock it with some kind of full-body black one piece underneath to create a outerwear/innerwear hybrid ensemble. You can check out more of the RIDICULOUSLY talented Jean Yu's work here and if you're interested in owning a Jean Yu original (I am! I am!), you can visit net-a-porter.com.
