Gift of Suki Cohen
Object number2014.11.1
Sarah Cohen’s dynamic collection of lingerie blurs the lines between underwear and outerwear. While her bodysuits act as foundation garments, they are also designed to be seen. Cohen eschews delicate materials and pastels for black stretch fabrics, and highlights the body using cutouts. She describes her technique as “dealing with different tensions—like engineering for clothing.”
