Kilo Brava: Embroidered Pieces For The Holidays

Kristin Bear seeks to provide “attainable luxury for the modern woman,” with each new collection she creates for Kilo Brava, the lingerie line that provides versatility by blurring the lines between intimate apparel and ready-to-wear.

The latest collection features lingerie made to look almost like jewelry pieces, each intimate outlined in black and gold and then adorned with a multitude of gem-like segments depicted in bright ruby, sapphire and emerald embroidery thread. The six styles include The Underwire Bodysuit, Teddy, G-string, Bralette, Garter Belt, and Open Back Brief. Wholesale prices for this holiday line range from $12 to $50.

According to the designer, the festive grouping “was inspired by an outfit my mother wore in the early 1990’s to a holiday party with my father. I remember she came out from her room all dressed up. Big hair, bold makeup, sheer black tights with black leather pumps and this stunning black velvet dress and coordinating bolero jacket that was adorned with multicolor jewel-tone gems. I thought to myself - WOW how stunning.”

“I’ve always felt that the holidays were such an amazing party season for everyone,” Bear continued. “The time of year to celebrate your family, your accomplishments over the past year, to give thanks, to appreciate life in togetherness. And why not look your best doing it all? The textures and colors of this embroidery collection combine it all. Black velvet trim, gold scrolls, white pearls, and multicolor gems all embroidered onto a sheer mesh. This season, go all out!”

Kilo Brava launched four years ago, after the designer had worked “for many years in the intimate apparel industry in New York and Miami for top companies. I wanted to produce a brand that would cater to fashionable women and offer them trend forward styles in a wide range of sizes, and all at attainable prices. The goal has always been to make women feel amazing in their own bodies with an array of collections and fabrications. The brand is exciting, unique, and fun. Many of the items are versatile and can be worn in or out and are amazing gifts as well.” Contact: Kristin Bear; kristin@kilobrava.com; 917-704-1920; www.kilobrava.com.
