It is sultry and romantic, with colourways to match like sheer black lace, rich red details and even a touch of rich dark chocolate satin," she said."The inspiration for this collection came from the energy of staying in a dreamy hotel suite - a romantic getaway to a luxe yet mysterious location with the designer wardrobe to match."A model wearing Lazy Girl Lingerie on the Beyond Blak Runway.
