Revealed by Curve | Lingerie as Wearable Art
The Elila collection was created for confort and grace for all figures
Curve announces a special collaboration with Elisa Valenti, a contemporary figurative artist, an influencer, and a fearless advocate for body positivity and inclusivity, whose work evokes her interpretation of beauty, strength, and appreciation for the female form.
The photoshoot takes place in Elisa’s art studio, where lingerie pieces are portrayed as what they are, pure art.

The gentleness of sumptuous textile and soft seaming make these lingerie pieces irresistible. These cotton-rich essentials are ideal for a day of creativity, leisure, or an evening soiree. Worn under clothes or paired with a sheer top layer, these second-skin underpinnings are bound to illuminate one’s curvaceous beauty
This piece from the Elila collection celebrates a womans body by designing pieces for full figures that are absolutely stunning. For centuries, the woman’s body was celebrated in the arts for its genuine shape, as in a famous painting by Rembrandt, Danaë. The painterly Lace Full-Coverage Underwire Bra and Cheeky Panty in Teal by Elila USA gently supports every curve of the female form. These pieces designed specifically for full figures are stunning and true manifestations of well-fitted lingerie. The exceptional fit and comfort of all Elila’s products come from years of searching for perfection in the realm of material performance and bra sizing.
