There are worse ways to spend a couple of summer days in New York than hanging out with lingerie models, even if you’re just looking.

That’s what NYC fashion photographer Thorsten Roth discovered when he set out to shoot the semi-annual Curve Expo lingerie, underwear and swimwear exhibition for Lingerie Talk this week. About 300 brands from more than a dozen countries displayed their newest offerings at the massive expo, which ended yesterday.

Thorsten plunged into the sea of colorful fashions and emerged with a stylish black-and-white photo diary. (A couple of images are lacking caption information, so if you see yourself or your brand here, let us know and we’ll add it.)

As for the two young ladies above, you’ll have to scroll down to see what THAT was all about.
