Victoria who? It’s time to step it up. Kiki de Montparnasse, the high end, high-minded lingerie store for adults, is your “win/win” option this Valentine’s Day with its exquisite selection of lingerie that every woman desires and no man can resist. The shop, named after Man Ray’s muse Kiki, woos you with a decor that reflects another time and place and takes you back — if not that far, at least to those pre- kid days when the lotions in your bathroom had different names than “banana berry blast”.
—This sophisticated boutique engages all the senses with its beautiful lace bras, nighties, and peek-a-boo panties alongside a host of toys that resemble fine jewelry. There is something for everyone from their signature cotton garter tank ($150) and grey cashmere boy shorts ($150) with matching bra ($275) to a siren-red satin slip dress with mesh panels ($450). The more adventurous will appreciate the 24k gold plated handcuffs or buttery soft leather whip. Our personal favorite: the set of pillowcases that read “Sleep” on one side and a healthy alternative on the other. Kiki de Montparnasse, nestled in Soho at 79 Greene Street bet Spring and Broome. http://www.kikidm.com
