Label Text:Jean Yu’s lingerie is free from materials such as wire, lace, and elastic for a sleek and ultra-sensual appeal. Inspired by her outerwear—note the similarities in this unitard’s design to the Deeper dress to the left—Yu explains that the lingerie “moves with you, but it’s separate. And it feels like it’s not there.”
