Cream Yourself

Kathy Misick Launches

If we were producing a new kind of porn for women there would be only wide-angle shots, softbox lighting, and (many) lingering scenes of the post-coital spoon.

And all the hot-in-a-natural-way “actors” would wear the kind of jaw-dropping outfits that could pinch-hit for foreplay.

That kind of classed-up sex is hard to come by. But we found the clothes: Kathy Misick’s new seven-piece collection — pearl and ivory cocktail attire embellished with thick, handmade silk rope. The chic, fitted jumpsuits and dresses have pleats, collars, trapeze waistlines, and V-necks that flatter curves and show skin (while leaving lots to the imagination).

The designer hails from Turks and Caicos, and no doubt its buttery beaches (and hot, hot heat) inspired her soft, sumptuous shapes in silk charmeuse, silk linen, and cotton voile.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Available at Albertine, 13 Christopher Street, between Greenwich Avenue and Waverly Place (212-924-8515). To see styles, go to kathymisick.com.
