Friday night at Holocene, Feng-Feng Yeh of the NYC-based Savant label debuted her lingerie capsule collection--nine sexy, refreshing looks that stayed true to her avant-guard aesthetic. The line recalled her Spring 2009 collection, this time making bandeau bras, elastic caging and brocade boyshorts the central focus of the collection. Boyshorts, briefs and bloomers came with pool-blue stripes and black detailing, silver trip set against black cotton, and lavender silk Chinoiserie. Elastic bras provided cleavage and suggested a most comforting fit. Everything looked completely wearable--I mean, we're talking about the bedroom here. Anything goes! But the collection looked almost like it was ready for the street (okay, ready for the beach), with the water-loving neoprene and suggestive, but not dead-give-away coverage.

Alison Nicole and I stayed after the show, catching up with some of the models and checking out the neoprene and elastic fits up close. We stuck around long enough to catch a word with the adorable Yeh. I asked her why she chose Portland to debut her line. She said simply that Lille boutique approached her about a trunk and fashion show for First Friday and she liked the idea. But she enthusiastically added, "I love Portland! It has everything I love... Coincidentally my sister moved out here just two days ago, so it all just worked out."
