The Story

Photography by Tigz Rice

Karolina Laskowska specializes in crafting small batch, limited edition collections from rare and unusual materials. Known for her craftsmanship, Karolina combines dark, gothic details and ornate opulence with the best of traditional corsetry and couture lingerie. All pieces are handmade by Karolina in her Oslo studio.

Karolina has spent a lifetime crafting handmade goods, from greeting cards to jewellery, but when she discovered lingerie, it was love at first sight. Dubbed a prodigy by industry experts including Cora Harrington of The Lingerie Addict, Karolina founded her namesake brand in 2012 at the age of 19.  

Karolina is the founder of the world’s first online museum dedicated to lingerie history and design: The Underpinnings Museum.
