Behind the Seams: Ingrid Bonnor Reflects on the Creation of the Sydney Lingerie Collection

What inspired you to create the Sydney Lingerie collection, and how does it reflect the ethos of the Homebodii brand?

"The Sydney Lingerie collection was inspired by the natural elegance and modern sophistication that I associate with the city of Sydney. I wanted to create something that speaks to the contemporary woman—confident, graceful, and effortlessly chic. At Homebodii, we believe in blending comfort with style, and this collection embodies that philosophy. It's about celebrating femininity in a way that feels both timeless and wearable."

Can you tell us about the design process for the Sydney Lingerie collection? What elements were most important for you to capture?

"The design process was incredibly collaborative and detailed. We focused heavily on fabric choices—opting for high-quality that feel luxurious against the skin. It was also important to me that each piece had a clean, minimalistic aesthetic but still carried intricate detailing like lace and subtle embroidery. I wanted to capture the balance between classic beauty and modern comfort, so the collection feels versatile enough for everyday wear yet special enough for intimate moments."

Homebodii is known for its commitment to quality and comfort—how did you incorporate these values into the Sydney Lingerie collection?

"Quality and comfort are at the heart of everything we do at Homebodii. With the Sydney Lingerie collection, we carefully selected fabrics that are not only beautiful but breathable and soft to the touch. Every piece is designed with the wearer’s comfort in mind, from the fit to the construction details like adjustable straps and elasticated bands. We wanted women to feel confident and comfortable no matter where or how they choose to wear our lingerie. It’s that perfect combination of style and ease."

Looking ahead, how do you see the success of the Sydney Lingerie collection influencing future designs and the direction of Homebodii?

"The success of Sydney Lingerie has certainly opened up exciting new avenues for Homebodii. It’s inspired us to continue pushing the boundaries of design while staying true to our core values of elegance and comfort. Moving forward, I see us expanding into more elevated collections, incorporating even more luxurious fabrics and sustainable practices. This recognition from Vogue also motivates us to listen closely to our customers' desires and create pieces that not only meet but exceed their expectations."
