I happened across SINTIMACY quite by chance, and when I IM’d Istephanija Munro to enquire about her range, she told me that she had only rented the boutique in that particular shopping centre that morning. I love such coincidences.
SINTIMACY’s range is made up of body suits of varying descriptions. While I was spoilt with many review copies, I picked out a few of my favourites to share with you.
‘Snake Skin’ was my first choice, largely because of the unusual texturing. The set comes with jacket, bra top, thong and flared pants, each emblazoned with a signature ‘S’. The jacket is open, sleeveless with highlights on the chest. The back of the jacket cuts a straight line across; the backing in that lovely snakeskin with a large logo set to the centre. The bra top is barely there, strapless and slung low at the back with signature to the catch. The front covers nipples and little else, the flat band slimming to prongs which are linked with criss-cross cords. I have to mention that there are slight seaming issues on the sides, so if you’re a perfectionist do bear it in mind.
The trousers I love as you get to see much more of that gorgeous print. This is available in black and plenty of other colours to suit your taste, but brown hits the spot with me. The texture is a mottling of colour tones, the end effect something of a bronzed patina. I feel perfectly sculpted, polished even, particularly to the back where you feel the full effect as you admire your freshly buffed buttocks. Beautiful. Special attention has been paid to the stitched belt detail, and the thighs benefit from sewn black banding for distinction. The included thong is simply cut and textured to match the outfit.
‘Body Art’ is another design I really liked. This is the black version, but there 
are several other colours to pick from. This isn’t the limit of your choice though, as each suit offers three transparencies – 100% opaque (pictured), 75% and 50%. The coloured spandex areas are the ones that gradually reveal a little more and this works to great effect. Still, even at 100% opacity, this looks hot. The suit is high necked and covers everything on the surface, skin tight with a slight kick on the legs to suit boot wear if the mood takes you. The latex catches the light on all the appropriate points, although the most noticeable gleam is on the stomach, which is an interesting feature. The showy panels are abstractly textured, which makes a nice change in the usual trends for symmetries; there’s also a skewed star placed low at the back, especially nice when the transparent versions are worn.
Finally, have a look at ‘Asphalt Cowgirl’. You get a shirt and pants combo which I liked best in this deep wine red: the cropped top covers all it needs to, arcing low between the breasts to accentuate your cleavage. The back is high and has an innovative torn pattern, scratches interlaced to form a large cross. A smaller version of this cut-out style features centrally to the front, accented with a starred stud. Similar fastenings provide a finishing trim underneath the bust.
The trousers feature a metal belt with star button details all around and an enlarged version to the buckle. The fly zipper gleams at the crotch. Again, the real beauty in these is the texturing, swirling motifs working down the leg to a wide hemline on the flared leg. I can’t neglect to mention the shading on the butt though: I admit to having a fascination with this on tight pant suits, and Sintimacy doesn’t disappoint in this area.
Istephanija is a proficient designer who has some creative ideas and is showing great promise in bringing them to life. I wouldn’t mind a little more fuss with the cuffs and collars, but if you like simple lines and figure hugging material, SINTIMACY offers some well made, sassy outfits at reasonable prices. Why not pay a visit to the main store and pick out your own favourites?
