The collection includes seven groupings: Alluring (£108-£148); Reverie (£94-£148); Heavenly (£94-£105); Enchanting (£86-£210); Whispering (£94-£148); Dreaming (£81-£148); and Enticing (£94-£210). Apart from the high prices, it sounds fabulous doesn’t it? Well it is! See a look from each of the groupings below along with short descriptions written by Damaris.

Dreaming (left): Pastels are everywhere this Spring/Summer and so Damaris brings you a softer hue in the classically dreamy set of Dreaming. A story for alternative tone and intricate detail with a beautiful draping bow for the bra; perhaps the softest of all designs this season in a lemon silk satin stretch chiffon.

Enchanting (right): For sparkling beauty and the most intricate story this season, look no further than the charismatic set of Enchanting. Full of striking designs, trims and alternatives such as the floor length gown. This is a truly majestic story, born from the most delicate Chantilly Leavers Lace.

Heavenly (left): A beautiful iridescent French lace in a euphoric mermaid form brands this story, truly heavenly. A simple two-piece set for a distinctive feel that also finds itself bejeweled with an array of Swarovski crystals.

Enticing (right): A lethal layering of black French leopard lace and lashings of jet-black Swarovski crystals, with an abundance of knickers to choose from and quirky additions such as the suspender belt and ruched body. This is a sophisticated and super necessary story for this season.

Reverie (left): This season be brighter than bold in the sophisticated NEW French “Leopard print lace” that appears in the ruby-level red “Reverie” story and the jet-black “Enticing” Story. Intricately designed with terrific alternatives in knickers, choose a set to suit your demands — from the finest of French silk tulles or the French leopard lace with revering Swarovski crystals. A romantically edgy story.

Whispering (right): A whimsical two-piece set of ultimate opulence. Whispering is one of the most unique sets this season for Damaris; made of the finest of French silk tulles and silk-chiffon satin in a soft grey hue and whenever possible, coated with jet-black platinum Swarovski crystals.

Alluring: The most vivid and chic combination for the Spring and Summer months with a rainbow of the most captivating Swarovski crystals in the entire collection — from ruby to jade to sapphire. The Alluring three-piece set lavishes in French Leavers Lace and exclusive fiery fushcia tones; a story you dare to wear.

“An exciting collaboration between Damaris and Roksanda Ilincic is presented as a limited edition capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2009. Inspired by the idea of lingerie pieces as beautiful items rather than undergarments, each piece is specially draped, twisted and hand finished with delicate raw edged silk chiffon, silk organza, complimented with Swarovski crystals covered in silk chiffon.”

Roksanda Ilinci designed a beautiful haute couture lingerie line with Damaris, and even though prices are anything but cheap – some of these are actually already sold out on the Damaris site.

So – if you want one of these incredible superpieces, act fast!

Dalia Collection

Delicate embroidered lace is combined with fuchsia silk satin to make a dramatic impact. Defined with undeniable femininity and a provocative essence, Damaris lingerie collections are flavored with the intrigue of a boudoir.

Itacare Collection

Sumptuous black silk satin is finished with jet sequins and sheer lace trim. Sheer simplicity with subtle accents makes this collection luxurious.

Pluto Collection

A transparent layer of fine zigzag lace, scattered with polka dots fabricates this admirable collection. Undeniable femininity is the essence of Damaris lingerie.

The “queen of bottom cleavage” again delivers the trademark bum-highlighting knickers along with other luxurious pieces. In addition to the traditional knickers with cutouts and big bows, the corset-lacing knickers are more present than ever in this year’s autumn/winter collection. There is plenty of lace and seductive translucent fabrics, as well as a new style of “floppy-side” knicker in the Dahlia and Spherical ranges. The “floppy-side” knickers have draped tulle at the sides joining the front and back panels. We also see a waspie, a bodysuit that leaves very little to the imagination, and a floor-length nightie – a style Damaris hasn’t released since the earliest collections! You can buy yours from the Damaris website.

Shop the exquisite collections and meet the designers!  Additionally, a short film (by Matt Sundin) featuring The Lake and Stars designs on NYC ballerinas will be shown at 8 pm.

The trunk show will run through October 5th.

There is limited space, so RSVP to rsvp@journelle.com.
