Damaris
Damaris Evans "Everyone's got good bum cleavage". Damaris has created a frenzy for her high fashion designs including the corset and bow knickers.
Damaris presents her lingerie collection. Damaris has achieved a cult following and her sexy lingerie is sought after internationally. Damaris' exciting lingerie designs have influenced many top-league designers through her 'daring to bare', and teasing innovativeness. This provocative fashion leader is unique. Avant-garde lingerie designs in natural luxurious fabrics, are epitomised by the Damaris signature Bow Knicker with a cheeky bottom cleavage. The use of luxurious materials, and the intoxicating mix of sexy and glamorous lingerie designs, combine to create an aura of sensual desirability.
Attention to detail and quality is priority. Delicate materials/fabrics and luxurious silks balance elegant shaping. Her handcrafted collection is simply irresistible. Even as a child, fashion was always Damaris Evans’ passion. By her teens, she lived it, breathed it and, was making all her own clothes along with commissions for friends and family.
Damaris then went on to study Womens Fashion Design with Print at the infamous St Martins College in London. As part of her course she was given a year off in which she had to take up a work experience placement. Damaris went to Favourbrooks, and after completing the required three months, was persuaded to stay on, with a salary to co-design the company’s highly publicised first two collections to be shown on the runway in New York fashion Week, with a flagship store in Pont Street.
Armed with new hands-on knowledge and a degree, Damaris realised she needed to be doing her own thing. After graduating she seized upon an exciting gap in the market for high fashion, luxury lingerie – and Damaris the label was born and launched.
Damaris’ designs and entrepreneurial skills were quickly given recognition when she picked-up an Elle Style Award for ‘Young Enterprise of the Year’ for the Spring/Summer 2003 collection. In 2005 she received the Royal seal of approval when she was the only lingerie designer to be invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen for a Celebration of British Design.
With competitive knicker copiers so hot on her trail, the designer has to keep constantly ahead in developing new lingerie concepts, sourcing fabrics and prints so she spends a couple of months of the year, immersed in inspirational globe-trotting.
Damaris is Notting Hill born and bred, and comes from a long line of creatives headed by her Great-Grandfather, the artist Sir William Rothenstein, and the former director of the Tate Gallery.
