Can any of you in New York enlighten me please, if Jean Yu still
creates lingerie, and does she still have her store at 37 Crosby Street?

Ok, never post a question after posting a bunch of knickers, BECOMING-INTENSE.
I'm literally just seeing it now, nearly 2 months after the fact.

I'd actually no idea Jean Yu had a boutique in NYC. I've walked that street a thousand times and have never seen it. Of course I'm distracted by even a crack in the pavement, so the admission means nothing..

The simple lines she cuts have a soft severity to them that is almost impossible to create with fine lingerie. I absolutely love her work.
