They are catalogued by number, and description for now as well as any other relevant information about their individual histories- how I came to have the items, what shoots they might have been used for, etc.

Off-white, lace gloves made from cotton. A beautiful vintage pair of gloves I acquired from the older generation in my family. Unusual in that they’re very much hand-made in off-white cotton thread.

The-Collection---STOCKINGS-&-SOCKS---41-Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#41 – Stockings
Black, size medium, tyre-print stockings with gusset. This is the first time I’ve looked at these stockings in an image, they shoot really well and have a great and unusual design. They’ve been in my collection for at least 9 years and have never been used in a shoot till now.

Boudoir Image South African Photographer Pink stockings

#42 – Stockings
Pink, sheer cut off hold-up stockings. These were in a bunch that I was gifted from my aunt forever ago. I’ve used them in many shoots, especially in themed private “boudoir” shoots when I started out. The image included was shot about 9 years ago with a Johannesburg client.
The-Collection---STOCKINGS-&-SOCKS---43-Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#43 – Socks
Flesh tone and white ankle socks with floral and text print. These make me wonder who would have designed and manufactured them and why. Anyhow, I bought them at a train station Chinese supermarket while I was still studying and am yet to use them.

 

The-Collection---STOCKINGS-&-SOCKS---44-Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#44 – Socks
White cotton blend ankle socks with ribbing detail. These come from a sock and underwear wholesaler. They are the iconic school-girl socks obviously, I think I thought I’d use them during my years with Playboy but actually didn’t get the right opportunity.
