NAÏVETÉ 1. The quality or state of being naïve (showing candor, freshness, and spontaneity unchecked by convention, social diffidence, or guile):

The design trio—known for its campy sensibility and fashion-outsider status—played with the idea of innerwear as everyday outerwear, incorporating lingerie and bedroom details throughout the collection. This oversized boa boasts an exuberant jumble of jersey, tulle, and lace, as if the wearer wrapped themselves in lingerie-strewn bedding and unabashedly walked out the door.
