"How lucky we are that Rebecca Apsan is sharing her expertise and enthusiasm. I love how she celebrates women's bodies and brings out the little flirt in each of us." Cindy Crawford
New York Magazine and Lucky Magazine both call Rebecca, "the best bra-fitter in the country".
Stop Wearing Underwear!
A Manifesto for Change
"My name is Rebecca Apsan, and I am a lingerie enthusiast. Note, I'm not talking about underwear. I'm talking about lingerie-those pretty little underthings that are the first garments you put on in the morning, and the last ones you take off at night. Lingerie is so often underestimated. Considered frivolous. Condemned as steamy. And worst of all, saved for special occasions."
" When you choose to wear your best bra and panties, you're preparing for a completely different kind of day than when you wear your saggiest and baggiest. Beyond making or breaking an outfit, lingerie has the ability to transform, allowing women to reinvent and revitalize herself, or simply to remember who she is. That's why I've devoted my life to spreading the gospel of lingerie. And that's why I named my store La Petite Coquette (that's French for The Little Flirt).
" Women have been known to pop into my store and then spend the entire afternoon. It happens all the time. Why? Because when they walk in, it's as if they've entered an alternative universe, a candy store for grown-ups where silk robes stream from padded hangers in cascades of color and baskets overflow with soft, sumptuous fabrics and the lightest of lace...lingerie is feminine armor. It's not made for battle or to defeat the world with brute force, but rather to softly protect and empower women against the heart breaks in life."
About the book: The tops-to-bottoms program for transforming yourself from the inside out. Both a sassy manifesto for self-discovery and a guide to everything lingerie, this book sparkles with inspiration, encouragement, and practical advice from celebrated lingerie expert Rebecca Apsan. (Daily Candy founder Deny Levy: "If anyone knows lingerie, it's Rebecca. She makes unmentionables addictively mentionable." ) For all women-no matter your age, dress size, shape, or personal style-here's the what to buy, the how to wear it, even the why to wear it: because you'll look fantastic...and feel great about yourself.
