Pieces like this stunning thong are basically the raison d'etre for our Emerging Designers series. A tried, true, and impeccably executed version of the classic silhouette, the string sided thong: barely there slender sides, gilt ring hardware, perfectly cheeky mesh back, everything you expect from the LBB (little black bottom) and then BAM, in lieu of traditional lace or embroidery is the graphically rendered WOOD GRAIN pattern of the stitch and tulle openwork. If that isn't a fresh take we don't know what is.
