Alexandra Fashion was another amazing collection at RAW which featured extravagant lingerie pieces that also incorporate “a mix between day wear and lingerie that is a bit edgy but feminine at the same time”. Her collection was definitely a crowd pleaser and had everyone on the edge of their seats to see more. The hand crafted collection was inspired by a desire for others to see the aesthetic in the lingerie along with a mix of street style and music. FOM sat down with another talented designer, Rose Penberthy from Love and Light The Label. She described her collection saying “it’s very bohemian and has a beachy feel to it”. The ambitious designer hand knits all her pieces and has seen her home brewed collection take off all over the world. She told FOM that she wants to open her own boutique clothing store one day and with her experiences travelling and interpreting culture she can continue to produce high quality fashion. Maraki Intimates was another lingerie collection designed by Leasha Yates. The collection included feminine night gowns with built in support, decadent robes and lingerie sets. The collection was designed to help fill the gap in the market for a fashion forward lingerie label that is dedicated to fitting sizes 8-14 in cups DD to G. Leasha is greatly inspired by the women who wear her intimates—these are women who have dramatic proportions, effortless femininity and adventurous soul.
