Angela Friedman has such a delightful talent for creating lingerie that evokes a sense of nostalgia. Drawing its inspiration from the jazz era lingerie silhouettes of the 1920s and 30s, her newest collection, Autumn in New York, has all of dreamy moodiness of the 1934 jazz standard of the same name.
