It all started with lingerie. Growing up in Michigan, Heather Renée Sweet—who would become an international style icon and burlesque star—was captivated by Hollywood’s Golden Age, mesmerized by Jean Harlow’s silky négligées, Marlene Dietrich’s garter stockings, and Jane Russell’s iconic bullet bra. Her fascination deepened with Gypsy Rose Lee, whose blend of artistry and entrepreneurship left a lasting impression. After moving to California, she took a job at a lingerie boutique, where she discovered the transformative power of fine lingerie and the confidence it could inspire in every woman.
