The idea for Ms. Kensington came when I was coming to the end of parental leave with my second child Zoe. Through many conversations with friends, it struck me just how many of us found it hard to focus on ourselves because of our busy demanding lifestyles. Specifically, in the areas of intimacy, sexuality, and relationships. For friends who’d had children - we were still the same gorgeous, smart women we had always been but how our bodies had changed! I had many conversations over coffee about when we’d managed to have sex again post baby and how we were slowly finding our way back to ourselves and our partners.
The more women I spoke to, the same topics of conversation kept coming up. Fed up with conforming to the unrealistic body ideals targeted at women of all ages. None of us wanted to open our underwear drawer and be confronted by the restrictive and uncomfortable underwear being marketed to us by fast fashion or aspire to be what the media deems ‘sexy’.
I felt like there was a need for a range of luxury lingerie that was designed specifically for us. That would make us feel instantly fabulous when we wore it.
I design lingerie for all women regardless of age, size or body type. Each piece in the collection is inspired by my friends and what would make them feel good. My friends are also my fit models! I fit a range of size, shapes and personalities so you can rest assured each piece has been tried and tested by real women.
We're modern romantics who believe that lingerie should spark the imagination. 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.
We don't follow trends but create classic designs in natural fabrics such as silk - that last forever if treated with care. Luxury has to be unique and special – something rare that you can’t find anywhere else. Each collection features a silk print exclusively designed by Catherine - the label's founder, that tells a story, evoking the mood of a different city and the moment it is seeking to capture.
