Aubade Crazy In Love

Crazy in Love is Aubade at its boldest — this is the collection I reach for when a customer wants something with real personality rather than another classic lace set. The signature is a lacquered, animal-inspired embroidery worked onto fine sheer tulle, giving it a subtle shimmer and depth that a flat print could never achieve. It photographs beautifully but it's even better in hand, because you can feel the texture of the embroidery sitting slightly raised off the tulle base.

Golden hardware runs through the whole range, from the delicate rings on the straps to the criss-cross detailing across the back of several pieces, which keeps the collection feeling cohesive even though the shapes vary considerably from one style to the next. The bra range covers proper ground — there's a moulded push-up for anyone wanting lift and cleavage, a wired plunge and a triangle plunge for a lower, more open neckline, and a half-cup if you prefer something that sits higher on the bust. On the smaller pieces there's a tanga and hipster for those who like coverage without bulk, alongside a high-waist and Italian brief for a fuller cut.

It's a genuinely versatile collection despite how striking it looks — the sheer tulle means it layers well, and because the embroidery does most of the visual work, you don't need much else going on in an outfit to let it shine.
