“When Lascivious approached me to do their latest shoot, I immediately said yes. My wife, Tuuli, has modeled for them previously, and we both love the brand. The designs are truly original and fashion-forward. I was particularly impressed with one of the print designs that they did using an image of Tuuli inspired by the Rorschach ink test. Absolutely beautiful. It’s great to see a small business like this pushing boundaries and succeeding. I was honoured to collaborate with them.”

“Lascivious is one of our favourite British brands – it’s so exciting to see a label that has grown from a tiny boutique brand into a must-have fashion label, yet it still maintains that stunning quality and originality that we loved in the first place. Nobody does the sex-bomb look better than Lascivious. Every season we know that Lascivious will deliver another amazing collection, and that it will be even better than the last!”

“I love the daring, flamboyant attitude Lascivious have with regard to their lingerie. The cutaway mesh and satin bodies are brilliant for shoots and the fine mesh cut out underwear is supersexy yet totally cool.”

“We love Lascivious for many reasons and here I list a few… Firstly Chloe sparkles with creativity and sweetness, secondly she hand stitches her whole range which is exceptionally well made, but mostly because her designs are so unique and always incredibly sexy. There is a sense of character to her pieces that inspires the sexual imagination and empowers who ever chooses to wear them.”

“Here is lingerie that men and women can enjoy in equal measure. As luxurious as it is exotic, as flattering as it is decadent, Lascivious is guaranteed to have you and your partner drooling with pleasure. This is sexy underwear that is never vulgar or brash; that worships the female form without cheapening it. In fact Lascivious may just be the perfect seduction weapon known to womankind.”
