When we were first introduced to Naja Lingerie, we fell in love with the sheer sass of the local brand's imagery—you'll find coquettish geishas emblazoned on the bum of a pair of cheek-bearing hipsters and a strategically placed koala in their Cheeky Knickers collection. But search further to find flattering cuts, sexy color palettes, and retro silhouettes that are pure intrigue. Here are some of our favorites:
1. Schuyler Bailey, Senior Editor
“I’ve got a thing for the aviary species: my great aunt Gert nicknamed me Skylark when I was a babe, which inspired me to get a tattoo of one on my wrist. While a different species, the Sparrow Audrey Hi-Waisted is essentially me in underwear form, plus a whole lot of sex appeal.”
2. Jessica Do, Graphic Designer
“I've always been a proponent of all things kitsch. Plus, I really like sushi. With the Jiro, it's a win win!”
3. Julia Flagg Leaver, Creative Director
“The LBD of lingerie. . .design is in the details. I get plenty of sass out of the Juliette bra in the Noir de Noirs collection. Meow.”
4. Hayley Besecker, Assistant Marketing Editor
“How can you resist that face? Love the idea of spending all day in bed with this sedentary critter as my relaxation inspiration.”
5. Sarah Medina, Editorial Assistant
“My hapa boyfriend would be scandalized if I ever wore these lovely Japanese ladies – so it’d be worth it just to see his face.”
6. Leilani Marie Labong, Senior Editor
“Feathers have long been an instrument in the art of seduction—this Peacock Juliet bra is no exception.”
7. Jodi Nakatsuka, Photo Director
A massive fan of chic, evocative lingerie, (Think Vogue meets “Fifty Shades of Gray”..... style not practice!) it’s hard for me to find everyday intimates that I love! Until I discovered Naja’s Sexy Basics! J’adore.
