The hardest part of putting Seventh Sin together is
the amazing level of work put forward to us (anyone
can contribute, and we invite you to), and this issue was
no different. Putting together an issue dedicated to the
appreciation of lingerie, and in turn the human figure, saw us
receive countless photo submissions ranging from the sensual
to the erotic. Unfortunately for a free magazine, no matter how
high-brow, space is limited so a lot of the submissions never
made it to print.

But don’t feel like you’re missing out.

The online edition of this issue (available at www.7thsinmag.com)

is a special edition; it contains more photos and a number of other
features, and we encourage you to log on and check it out. You’ll
find a dead sexy editorial on lingerie that we didn’t have room for, an
extended edition of our ‘Fight like a Butterfly’ centrefold (page 7), and
a number of extra features. If that isn’t enough to tempt you online,
then perhaps the thought of winning three sets of underwear from Hey
Sister (page 22) or clothing from the Stella McCartney capsule for Target
(back cover) might be enough to do it.

We hope you enjoy us in the flesh (pun fully intended) and online too.

lovely in lace Interview with Shiori Pike by
Jennifer Reynolds

Seeing the Shiori collection all lined up

is like walking into a candy store - you
just want to try it all. A young girl with
a cheeky smile is not who you would
expect to find behind this lush self-titled
lingerie label. Specializing in sexy French
knickers, demi bras and camisoles in a
gorgeous rainbow of the sweetest colours,
this is truly the label for girls who want to feel
feminine.

Learning everything from her mum - a former

dressmaker - Shiori Pike was fed up with the lack
of high quality underwear at a reasonable
price. “Most Australian designers use harsh
fabrics and I have sensitive skin; I had to buy quite
expensive, very soft or natural fibres. Then if its cut was wrong
it would dig in and irritate.” The obvious choice was to start
making her own. Starting at local Melbourne markets, she gained
valuable customer feedback before going on to approach stores. As
a result she creates three piece sets instead of two with bra, French
knickers, and G-string as per customer demand.

Working with exclusive European laces and silks she selects the softest,
most delightful fabrics to snuggle next to your skin. Still involved in every
piece, Shiori hand makes each item ensuring quality of finish. “Depending
on how intricate it is, it can take a few hours with beading and hand
embroidering” to finish a garment.

In future we can expect to see a shift towards vintage. Shiori tells us “…a lot
more covered and sexier, 1950’s glamour pin up girls, silk, lots of lace trims, a more
European influence, a lot classier... We’re also going to see more of the torsolette
which is a girly little number shorter than a corset but longer than a bra.”

You can check out her work at Smitten Kitten in Melbourne or at Miishu in Port
Melbourne. Be warned; the colours might make you hungry.

Shiori’s website will be online in March at www.shiori.com.au.

surrounded by the magic of cloth where seasonal trips to the fabric shops in a nearby
town were special occasions.

Even as a girl making her own dresses and bikinis the emphasis was always on quality
fabrics andthe perfect fit. Migrating to Melbourne in 1986 she now runs a boutique label
with made to measurepieces for the discerning customer, specalising in luscious styles in
corsetry and velvet suitablefor the boudoir.

JJ: As teenager.
JR: Where did you learn?
JJ: I received a Diploma of Clothing and
Footwear at the Box Hill Institute of TAFE.
JR: What is your favorite part of designing?
JJ: The whole creation of the garment and
particularly the end result.
JR: What fabrics do you work with?
JJ: Lace, satin, chiffon, stretch tulle, velvet

There’s no doubt that the history of lingerie
has been a long, very interesting and at
times very painful one. Thankfully, the days

lingerie
of body-crushing corsets are long over – but
that doesn’t mean things are getting less
interesting in the lingerie world. So looking

to the future, where is lingerie headed? We
caught up with Kay Cohen, Founder and
Creative Director of Pleasure State lingerie

headed
and posed her the question.

“Lingerie is something that really challenges

your talent as a designer. It requires the true
interpretation of design ethics, products have
to both fit well and be comfortable, also they
have to be beautiful, no surprises that we refer

And where does Pleasure State fit into all

of this? “Pleasure State has in a very short
space of time become a world leader in this
aspect. Pleasure State will continue its drive to
produce more and more fashion lingerie with

you will want to wear it to be seen.”

VOYAGER
Looking for clothes that combine smart styles and classic
cuts as well as the comfort and functionality an active
lifestyle requires? The Autumn / Winter 2007 collection
by Voyager, which has just hit the shelves of Myer, is
rich in colour and texture – perfect for stocking up
on wardrobe essentials.

Designed specifically to suit both indoor and

outdoor activities, the range includes classic
trench-coats, stylish knits, and tailored jackets.
The best part is that you won’t have to empty
your pockets – with prices ranging from
$29.95 for active wear to $189.95 for a
jacket.

Proving that one-upmanship can advance the cause of men’s shaving, Gillette have finally
released their five bladed razor, ‘Fusion’, in Australia. Frankly the idea of putting 5 razors (4 to
shave with, 1 for the finer places) within slicing distance of our face didn’t really thrill us – but
that’s not to say we weren’t pleasantly surprised.

Like Gillette’s past work, this shaver really is one of the best out there and you’re going to have
to try a barber if you’re after something a little closer to the grain. Available as you’d expect
a shaver to be, or in a smirk-inducing vibrating edition, you may just find yourself tempted
enough to buy one.

Men’s footwear in 2007 is all about unique and

– Emo and Indie. Often confused as being the
same thing, most people are unaware of the
differences between the two. Let’s explore.

Emo stems from Punk Rock dealing with the

singer’s feelings; hence it’s short for ‘emotional’.
If you haven’t seen people walking around the
street in a tight tee, even tighter skinny black
jeans, old school chucks, and hair angled to cover
most of their face, then you have probably been
living under a rock. Emos take their cues from AFI,
Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, and 30 Seconds
to Mars.

Indie, or ‘the anti-emo’ sees people take their lead from

independent underground music. You can bet that if someone is
wearing straight leg jeans, vests, baggy tees, cardies they are
taking their cues from The Kooks, Wolfmother, Muse, and
The Arctic Monkeys.

Looking through our underwear issue you’ll
see some of the most exquisite lingerie
ever designed. Of course, it’s all modelled
by ravishing women. And while we’re sure
the photos will appeal to both sexes, we
just couldn’t manage to balance it out. So
here is our some-what meagre attempt to
rectify that situation. If you’re somewhat
disappointed, we apologise. But this page
features men’s underwear, which has
changed little in the past 20 years. We find
that disappointing too.

That’s the trouble with men’s underwear,
whether you’re wearing it or enjoying it,
it all seems to be the same. So here’s our
request to you from this issue – what is
perfect underwear for men? Do Calvin
Klein elastics still do it for you? Should
guys be wearing something more out
there? Or should we really be keeping it
simple with plain cotton briefs and the odd
designer label? Let us know your thoughts

want made this month. If you’ve seen it somewhere or you’re a designer who
has made it drop us a line (7thsin@7thsinmag.com) for a mention on Seventh
Sin’s website.

We hasten to add we want this tee to be made for the boys, we’re after irony
not factuality.
