The designer, currently in her 4th year, has launched her spring summer 2009 collection using the finest and most delicate trims sourced locally from the old lace mills in Nottingham, UK.

‘Once graduating from Central Saint Martins I found the lack of fashion opportunities in the UK disheartening. Many of the old lace mills and factories closed due to the trade being moved to the Far East as a cheaper alternative’.

The latest collection includes vintage inspirited silk camisoles, tap pants and all in one teddy. These are all trimmed with hand crafted cotton laces made in one of the last lace mills in the UK, also renowned for making the lace for Princess Diana’s wedding dress.

All pieces from the collection are made in house by the designer and her small team using traditional sewing methods, assuring each piece is made with loving care and is of the highest quality.

The collection is available from some of the most exclusive boutiques in the world, as well as in Paris department store Printemp, and Topshop’s flagship store in London. Online, we recommend our good friends over at La Magia!

The boutique has obviously been designed with ease of use in mind.

The website is right here!

“Ayten Gasson Lingerie is delighted to announce that from the 12th of November, in a landmark move, their Autumn/Winter range of gorgeous luxury underwear will be available at Topshop’s flagship store in the heart of London’s Oxford Street, just in time for Christmas! Topshop widely considered to be THE fashion destination on the high street, of course needs no introduction. The inclusion of Ayten Gasson Lingerie is another manifestation of Brand Director Jane Shepherdson’s vision to establish the Topshop as a fashion authority, a vision she had been following consistently since her appointment in 1999.”

This is great news for Ayten, and for all the London shoppers! The luxurious silk collection Ayten made for AW07 is pure goodness, and anything that can help people get to know this exciting label is a good thing. Congratulations!

Another absolute winner is the Mae line: a gorgeous vintage-inspired bralette, 100% black silk and lace with delicate cream lace detailing and ribbon bows. A little naughty! There’s a cami to go along, but I’m more into the bralette myself.

The good news is: TLP favorite La Magia stocked the whole collection, and has loads of yummy photos to gaze at, if the reasonably high (yet fair) prices aren’t for your budget…

You really should check the oysterlingerie.co.uk website yourself — as there’s so much more to find on there. The photo’s below are from a recent photoshoot done at the boutique, and it all just looks…. GREAT!

I’m not sure whether or not Oyster Lingerie is planning on expanding their online range, but let’s hope so, because their taste in decadent pieces looks extremely exciting!

The good news: the prices in sterling are very competitive. These are superb-quality pieces, hand made, made with the the finest of Japanese silks and delicate French lace – in super-glam vintage style. Wearable but oh so decadent. Lovable lingerie so to speak, for price tags from +/- £40 for the Strawberry Frill Crossover Bra up to +/- £150 for the extraordinary Antique Shell Kimono, Bra and Knickers Set.

The bad news: the US$ isn’t picking up. Importing these fabulous pieces to the US will mean more than doubling the numbers (that’s pushing the price over $300) — which just isn’t fun for you US girls…

Anyway, check out the rest of the Ayten Gasson pieces over at Glam Am, I’m sure you’ll love them!

Well, all of these pieces are very special! They’re a combination of Ayten’s signature style (I’d describe it as Vintecadence ) and that little extra touch of…. something. I’d say it’s 95% Ayten, 5% something, though!

Take a look at this stunning Mon Bijou Crossover Bra, French Knickers and Eyemask Set – a dark chocolate hemp and silk crossover bra with pretty matching ribbon ties trimmed with high end blue lace, Silk French knickers with matching ribbon ties trimmed with vintage blue lace and a gorgeous eye mask made from a blend of hemp and silk.

Looking for something even more fabulous? Check out the Enamore Sensibella Camisole and Knickers Set made from 100% pure silk satin trimmed with light green delicate lace and ribbon – £90 of pure joy!

I know this isn’t for everyone’s budget. Hell, it’s not for my budget. But: wow!
