The collection was launched at Topshop on 12th August. Fifi’s line isn’t competing with the bottom-basement prices, but it does take away much of the sting of her boutique prices. The collection includes a sleep (slip?) dress, babydoll, bras, thongs, garters, and bikinis. Prices range from £12-65. The sizing choices aren’t very broad, so Topshop may be waiting to see how the line does before expanding the offering.

A 12 piece capsule collection, of 50s inspired pieces, including baby-doll slips and oh la la, suspenders, especially designed by Fifi Chachnil for Topshop will be in store and online.

A nice example is this very sexy Fifi Chachnil Grand Soir Corset. It’s a lovely laced corset, equipped with a zipper on one side to make sure you can put it on without outsider help . It’s dotted tulle lace looks very refined and even though the corset isn’t cheap at €391 ($499), we can’t call it expensive either… It’s a high-class corset for a little over average price: good deal, no?

You can get this corset at boutique-fifichachnil.com, and we’re convinced it’s also available at Faire Frou Frou (they don’t have this item on their webshop, but we assume they’ll gladly order it for you. We’ll double-check this, though).

While you’re splashing yourself, take a look at this matching Forever garter belt from the same Cabaret collection too. It’s a little under €100/$120 and will finish off your look completely… Happy shopping (if your budget allows it)!
