In our latest editorial moment, French model and tattoo artist @iam.blum does exactly that—merging body, ink, and intimacy in a series of black-and-white photographs that feel like they belong in a smoky Parisian gallery. Shot by the moody and masterful @nicolasmantello, this collection is less about posing, more about presence.
Blum, whose full-body tattoo masterpiece is the work of the incredible @dino_vallely, wears the Layla Bralette—a perfectly undone piece with architectural cutouts and strappy detailing that feels somewhere between sculpture and seduction. She pairs it with the Annika Thong, a cult classic made unforgettable with its detachable thigh harness (yes, it does give femme fatale energy, and we’re very into it).
The tattoos, the lingerie, the lighting—it’s all one big conversation about identity, artistry, and allure. Everything black and white, but nothing about it is simple.
This isn’t just a lingerie shoot. It’s a study in contrasts: softness and edge, strength and sensuality, ink and lace. And through it all, Blum owns every frame with quiet power and unapologetic style.
So go ahead. Scroll slow. Savor the details. And maybe rethink what it means to wear lingerie—because sometimes, the most unforgettable looks are the ones that reveal more than they conceal.
The Layla Bralette and Annika Thong are available now at stylewanderlustusa.com.
Lingerie for those who dress with intention—and a little attitude.
