A Warhol Princess: Princesse Tam Tam Fall 2009
The name Princesse Tam Tam pays homage to a film starring Josephine Baker, released in 1935. The spirit of this character embodies a woman that fights prejudice, a feminist, long before it was acceptable. Therefore, we can imagine the Warhol Princess collection will be edgy with some sexuality.
Each design offers several bra and panty styles to include half-cup bra, triangle bra, or push up bra. For the panties the bottoms come in hipster bikini, thong bikini, and boxer shorts. You have the option to choose your favorite combination. Tres chic! The printed stretch satin and delicate lace leave us wanting more.
The Parisian company also makes homewear (lounge wear as we know it) in the same colorful, whimsical style as their lingerie.
I am especially dying for the ANDY items, I LOVE the printed stretch satin in the Street Grey colorway!!

beautiful images, and josephine baker is a fabulous iconic character who’s brought inspiration to many. What a shame then that despite this ‘character’ they’ve designed the collection around ‘who fights prejudice’, they weren’t able to fight prejudice in the casting of their campaign. In an era where we are seeing far less racial diversity in the fashion industry than 10 or 15 years ago, this was an excellent opportunity to challenge that. A damn shame.
