“We always felt like there was a
huge gap between brands like La Perla and brands like Victoria’s Secret,” says
Monica Paganucci, the creative director of new intimates label Sweetly Inked,
which launches tomorrow exclusively online. A meeting of minds, including NYC
creative agency Playworkgroup, stylist Samira Nasr, and creative directors
Paganucci and Rico and Michelle Garcia, Sweetly Inked’s eleven-piece all-black
range is a play on tattoos. “The inspiration [for the initial collection] was
to create a line that would highlight where most people would have artwork on
their bodies.
That inspired the theme of transparency,” Paganucci continued,
noting that texture was a key element in the range. The designers will focus on
one collection a year, but they plan to supplement their signature fits and
cuts with limited-edition wares. “You should always be able to go back and find
your favorite bra,” Paganucci reasons, albeit one with seductive sheer paneling
and strategically placed exposure. As Sweetly Inked grows, so too will the
collection—loungewear is set for a Fall launch.
