The post 11 sweet & sexy additions to your lingerie arsenal appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Romanian-born, Montreal-raised Irina Lazareanu has pounded the runways for everyone from Chanel, Christian Dior and 3.1 Phillip Lim to Sonia Rykiel, Rick Owens and Yohji Yamamoto. But it’s her off-catwalk life that she’s famous for: She’s friends with Kate Moss, is working on her own album with Sean Lennon and has played drums for Pete Doherty and his band, Babyshambles (she’s also been romantically linked—or at least rumoured to be—with both of them). She brought her signature bangs and cool, badass appeal to the opening of the Joe Fresh Style flagship in Vancouver, and FASHION snatched a moment with her to talk all things love.

You walked in the Joe show in Toronto last spring. Did you know the company before that? “That was my first time working with them, and it was really amazing. It was my first Canadian show, my mom was there, and I felt so at home.”

This interview is for our February issue, and the theme is love. “Ooooh.”

Obviously, there are things everyone wonders about your relationships. “I love that. I’m very open—I mean, what else is there to know that people don’t already know?”

It has been a whirlwind first year for Christina Remenyi, the designer behind the sophisticated, vintage-inspired lingerie label Fortnight Lingerie (fortnightlingerie.com). The Toronto-based company launched in February 2010 with their Super Sexy CPR instructional video, which is exactly what it sounds like and which received over 2.3 million hits mere days after its launch. “I wasn’t really sure how it was going to be received,” said Remenyi who designs and manufactures her handmade pieces with assistant designer and pattern maker Alison Chown. “I mean it was a great video and I had full confidence in how wonderful it was but you never know how people are going to react and it was really great to get all that amazing response back.” The Fortnight Lingerie founder and owner chatted with FASHION Magazine about her made in Canada approach and what it takes to make it in the Canadian fashion industry.
