Ms. Kensington's Musings

Looking up at a cloud-streaked blue sky on a summer morning or standing on the cliffs at Bondi gazing at the ocean. The heat haze blurring and softening the colours on a scorching hot day. Immerse yourself in a Sydney blue. 

Each collection tells a story inspired by a different city and each piece of lingerie is accompanied by a love letter, revealing the inspiration behind the latest collection and hand finished with a wax seal. Read our love letter to Sydney.

Every collection starts with a mood, sparked by a moment of inspiration and instinctively I knew my second collection had to be about the beautiful city I've called home for the past 10 years. 

Sally Stanton, TV presenter shares how she will be spending a very different Mother’s Day this year. Sally "You'll have to ask my daughter but as 4 year olds are not that reliable I’ve pre-ordered a special Sushi platter from Simulation Senpai. That and a glass of good champagne will put a big smile on my face.

Unprecedented. Words none of us were used to hearing a while ago. Its a crazy time and so many people I know are suffering - even though most us aren't actually sick yet. I've had my moments this week as most of us probably have and as a business it's going to affect not only me but all the amazing people I work with on a daily basis.

Surround yourself with your calmest family and friends, make sure you have a large glass of bubbles on hand and wear something you can relax and look chic in for photos while you get your hair and make up done. Our ivory silk cotton robe is an excellent option and one you can wear as a luxe everyday robe after the wedding too.

So you've hand picked your best girlfriends to be your bridesmaids and with squeals of delight and some bubbles they've happily accepted the honour. But keeping your bridesmaids happy is no mean feat - especially when it comes to finding a dress that suits everyone and that they actually want to wear on the day.

When I first dreamt of starting a lingerie label two years ago - these knickers were the piece that best defined what I wanted to achieve with the label. I wanted to make lingerie that made the woman wearing it feel liberated, confident and ‘sexy on her terms’. 

The bush fire situation happening here in Australia right now is devastating. It is hard not to know someone who has been affected. It is hard to watch rolling footage of what looks like some kind of futuristic apocalypse and not feel utterly heartbroken for the people, animals and land affected. Now is not the time to talk about fashion or try and selfishly promote a business while others are suffering. It is the time to donate, help and heal however possible. 

Before Angie Kent joined the madness that is the Bachelorette 2019 I thought I’d send her some Ms. Kensington lingerie and a bespoke love letter to help her feel inspired and confident on the journey to find love. I was thrilled when Angie reached out to tell me she had worn her London Print robe everyday on set.

Laura from This Island Life delivers some serious travel wardrobe inspiration on a dream trip to beautiful Bawah Island. "I’m usually straight into a bikini when I wake up, but on Bawah Island, all I wanted to do was swan around my beach bungalow in this silky ensemble." 

There isn’t a planet B. Fashion is meant to be forward thinking and ahead of the curve and yet it is one of the most heavily polluting industries contributing to #climatechange. We must stay committed to working towards better practices for people and the planet.
