Elle Macpherson Intimates Spring 2008
Once again, Elle Macpherson Intimates has not disappointed with an incredible spring collection inspired by the spirit of the 18th Century French opulence. Evoking a playful, sophisticated sexiness, the collection features an absolutely exquisite color palette which accentuates the fashionable, modern take on vintage pieces. I love the collection because every item is designed to work with your curves and enhance your figure. Not only is the collection beautiful, but also accessible to a wide range of women with bras through an E cup and panties through XL.
I was fortunate enough to see the pieces up close and personal so I can vouch that they are as amazing as they look in pictures. That wasn’t the only treat. The namesake of the brand (yes, the Elle Macpherson) showed me her personal favorites in the collection!
So, what are my favorites? There are quite a few, but I’ll give you the highlights of what you should check out month to month.
In February, the EMI, corsetry-inspired staple Dentelle arrives in Strawberry Ice, a rich pink with contrasting lemon trim. March brings a color palette including a soft, angelic pink and vibrant peacoat blue. Ornez is particularly glamorous featuring a stretch silk layered with embroidery and lace. In April, Rumeur is sure to be a fan favorite. The half-cup contour bra, in stretch printed satin of cream and warm charcoal, flatters any bust line with its lace and grosgrain ribbon trim. I am especially a fan of the coordinating bikini. With its sheer back, it leaves just enough to the imagination.
For May, I like the gathered look of the vintage-inspired Signet in Warm Charcoal (seen here in Angelwing Pink). In June, be sure to check out Adorn. Sheer mesh in Spanish nude is accented by exposed construction detailing. Delightful! Lastly, for July, I love the lush wine coloring of the feminine, half-cup Artistry collection (seen here in Peacoat Blue).
Even more sophistication is found in the Boudoir collection. I like the Antique Green chemise. A silky little something with French lace cups is classic and elegant. The unique and striking contrast between the apricot and powder blue is lovely in the Dusky Apricot collection.
There are many other options in the Spring collection, so do some investigating on your own and let us know what you think in our forums. Elle Macpherson Intimates are sold at a number of retail locations including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and boutiques as well as online at Bare Necessities and Her Room.

That is so cool that she showed you her favorites. The Elle MacPherson Intimates line is really beautiful, but not cheap. Hautelook.com is having a sale on this line today and I got a couple of lovely undies for over half off.
