RICHPR is one of the leading PR agencies in the fashion industry, particularly with lingerie.  The tagline “Let RICHPR expose you” is more than a double entendre!  This boutique firm specializes in media outreach and does a phenomenal job of connecting the brands with the editors, reporters, writers, producers, fashion stylists and bloggers.  RICHPR ensures that both up-and-coming as well as established brands get the exposure they deserve.

Owner and founder, Lauren Rich, and her team, are the epitome of professionalism, sophistication, and creativity!  They recently hosted me, along with other media representatives, at a press preview for the Autumn/Winter 2011 collections for BRULEE, Affinitas, Parfait by Affinitas, Second Base, and Sassybax!  No RICHPR preview would be complete without a theme and this time was no exception!  The theme ‘Enchanted’ was carried out in every detail making for a magical experience.  In this intimate setting, I was able to view the upcoming collections that you will be seeing in stores in just a few months.  While nothing compares to seeing and feeling the luxurious laces, sensuous silks, and chic chiffons for yourself, I hope this footage will capture the essence of the loveliness that is to come in just a few months!  Let us know what your favorites are!

And since a TLP video wouldn’t be complete without a little musical accompaniment, we hope you love (and let us know how much!) the ‘Enchanted’ worthy song by our friend, Ramzi.  Enjoy!

Color, Color Everywhere…

It looks like color will be pervading the drawers and racks of your favorite boutiques and department stores this fall.  Color palettes include elegant and opulent jewel tones like deep hued purples, full bodied wines, and strong sapphires as well as rich and robust autumnal shades like spice, poppy, and olive.  Even the absence of color makes a bold statement with luxurious, creamy colors like blush and oatmeal.

Favorite Brands for Color: Zinke, Brulee, Amulette, Affinitas, CLO

It’s All in the Details!

Prints are back!  I’m a huge fan of prints from a little accent to a bold statement.  This fall, prints are airy and ethereal and include feature everything from florals to birds to symbols.  Other favorite details for fall include the timeless eyelash lace, cheeky ruching, flirty ruffles, edgy hardware, and pretty piping.

Favorite Brands for Details: Beautiful Bottoms, Marlies Dekkers, Lelo,  ARI DEIN

Mix it Up

One of my favorite new trends is the concept of mixing and matching.  For all you recessionistas out there, this is the perfect way to maximize your lingerie wardrobe.  From camisoles, chemises, and robes in alternating colorways to solids and patterns with similar color palettes, there are limitless options for creating a unique look.  With so many options, it will be tough to decide!

Favorite Brands for Mixing and Matching: HotMilk, Between the Sheets, La Fee Verte, Amulette

The Romper is Here to Stay!

I’ve proclaimed my love for the romper before and am glad it is here to stay!  This fun and flirty silhouette continues to be a trend in many collections that speaks for itself.

Favorite Brands for Rompers: Else, La Fee Verte, Brulee, Zinke

Vintage Inspired Looks

Many brands are using classic looks of the past and reinventing them to be fitting for the modern woman.  Long lined bras, high-waisted knickers, and wide straps are just a few of the details that characterize this look of years gone by.

Favorite Brands for Vintage Inspired Looks: Dirty Dolls, Made by Niki, La Filled’O, Else

Five Brands & Products to Watch Out For!

Two Figs - This amazing, new, San Francisco-based company does exactly what its tagline says and supports sleeping beauty in its chemises, gowns, and more designed for cup sizes D-G.  Stay tuned for more including stockists!

Beautiful Bottoms - This darling, U.K. brand isn’t new, but it just emerging in the U.S. after experiencing much success abroad.  Known for affordable airy pieces, this brand is bound to be one of our favorites (and yours as well!).

Lelo – Lelo isn’t a new brand, but since introducing its first lingerie and loungewear line, I’m excited to see where they continue to take their collections.

HotMilk - HotMilk is on the cutting edge for luxurious pregnancy and post-pregnancy lingerie looks including everything from bra and panty sets, camisoles, and chemises to post-pregnancy shapewear, mix and match pajama tops and bottoms, and my favorite, the new wrap dress.

Pure Lime - This Scandinavian-based company that specializes in fitness attire is revolutionizing the sports bra with the addition of a detachable Polar heart rate monitor.  The runner in me is dying to know more and will bring you the information soon!

See below for pictures of the event.  Photos courtesy of Journelle.  Enjoy!

This Mimi Holliday animal print number, available at Journelle, is a showstopper!  The sheer leopard plus the  sweet ruffle detailing makes this piece pure sugar, spice, naughty and nice.  I’m a sucker for animal prints so this is clearly a favorite for me.

Brulee’s classy and sophisticated Silk Teddy is the ultimate in simple elegance.  Available at Lille Boutique this piece could easily be converted to outerwear with the addition of pencil skirt.  Cardigan optional.  Perfect for going from day to night or night to day!

This Lisa’s Folly Luxe Salome Halter Playsuit is just divine!  The vibrant wisteria purple accented by bright white lace trim and satin ribbon is bound to look lovely on every skin tone.  This stunner is available on the Underwear online boutique.

Enjoy the remaining days of summer!
