Marylin Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, two pop culture icons whose style is still reflected in fashion today. NAKI NYC takes their fashionable faces to the beach with their new swimwear line. Time to make a statement in the water, wearing the striking yet feminine new bathing suit and bikini line.

“I think swimwear should be fun, it’s one of the rare places in everyday fashion where women can be a little kitschy, a little out there, and totally sexy,” says Kerri Quigley the line’s designer. And I can totally see where she got it. The front is decorated with the ladies pretty faces, while on the back you can read quotes from each icon. Wearing a bikini that has “I am good but not an angel” on your bottom is indeed cute but with a wink, now isn’t it?

naki nyc audrey hepburn bathing suitI personally am a big fan of the Audrey Hepburn swimsuit one. Love the great cleavage because of the low neckline; you can see that it’s a swimsuit that doesn’t have to press everything together in order to fit it all in… All NAKI NYC swimwear is actually double lined in the front for support and shape, always a plus on the beach. Straps close around the neck, taking care of awkward tan lines on your back. Sexy, practical and fun, all in one indeed.

Next to this personal favorite you can opt for the Marilyn swimsuit, which is a one piece strapless version with cut-outs on the sides. Or you can choose between the bikini’s, one classic, and one with high-waisted brief and a bandeau top.

And when I say UK-based, I mean it: both sourcing and production remains as British as can be. All products are made by a very skilled in-house team. Corsets are handcrafted to traditional Victorian techniques using steel boning, in order to get that perfect hour glass silhouette. Susi Henson established Eternal Spirits in 2002 and is still at the head of her company. She wanted to put a bit of magic into every woman’s life through her lingerie. Fans include Dita Von Teese (and she knóws her lingerie!), Leona Lewis and Britney Spears.

Craftsmanship is absolutely showing in their fall and winter lines. This is not an ordinary corset, not a simple waist pie… This is art.

The Gypsy Carousel line is inspired by a magical antique carousel horse called Star. It’s a playful collection build around vibrant colors like canary yellow, fuchsia, emerald green, peacock blue, violet, teal and gold. Corsetry is as always steel boned and handmade. Lingerie and loungewear are made out of the finest and most luxurious silks, duchess satins and lace.

The Cameo Collection is decadent but sophisticated, and takes exclusivity in lingerie a step higher. Only 200 pieces of each style will be made in this collection, and each item comes numbered. Special fabrics such as ostrich leather and heavily embroidered leatherette are combined with silk satin and chiffon knickers, digitally printed with the unique hand illustrated cameo design.

Founder/Designer Carrie Russell worked with several other successful lingerie designer companies and felt it was time to follow her own ideas. With Love Lingerie provides a nice equilibrium between romantic prints and designs in the Bloom line as opposed to the more seductive Femme line, characterized by black and white lace and corsets. The film noir aspect in her designs is overly present – the only thing missing in the picture on the right is a cigarette in a holder. After promoting the sweet line, they thought the time was right to emphasize their more seductive luxury side.

The Mme. Beatrice Deco collection celebrates feminine curves using classic lines and luxurious fabrics like rich satin and textured materials.

Founder/Designer Carrie Russell blames her imagination and literary background as the main inspiration for the line. And yes, you can immediately link the images to the strong dynamic female characters you know out of classic English Literature. They could have escaped right out of a Jane Austen novel. Well, if there were any sassy parts, that is. ;)

The collection holds several nice cinchers and ribbon corsets, playful slips and babydolls. The Mme. Beatrice Deco collection can be divided into two parts, the first part being the collection in subtle colors like cream and nude, using clean lines and smooth details, and the second part playing with a rich mysterious factor in black using embroidered details and luxury textures.

Lauren Skerritt and Poppy Wainwright-Sexton of Beautiful Bottoms prove otherwise. Although these women have a very different background, their passion for lingerie drove them together. Lauren was raised in South-Africa and is a persistent intuitive spirit, whilst Poppy is a more down-to-earth woman thoroughly convinced that a business is not just designing and dreaming but also accounting and thinking.

In 2007 they combined their strengths and started Beautiful Bottoms together. They were dedicated to designing knickers and bras in soft, delicate, wearable shapes, without forgetting to include elements of luxury and subtlety. Combining vibrant prints and lighter shapes in feel-good fabrics like pure silk became their trademark, creating pieces both wearer and – not unimportant – viewer can enjoy.

The new collection contains just that: flirty frills on both bras and knickers, playsuits and camisoles in enthusiastic colors and prints. Lauren and Poppy draw their inspiration from their personal love for printed silks and European vintage prints of the past centuries and it’s noticeable: the style has romantic chique all over it. However delicate the material, practically all pieces are adjustable to ensure the perfect fit. Rich colors ensure great looking lingerie on all skin tones. Most pieces are flattering to all figures.

In the meantime, we will reveal the amazing collection that resulted from that experience, Arabesque, but first, we wanted to congratulate Josh for being invited to the first ever fashion law bar committee of the New York City Bar Association!  What an honor!

And now, Arabesque…

Arabesque, the latest addition to the Layla L’obatti collection, is stunning.  Made of opulent, midnight blue silk paired with tea dyed lace and complemented by exquisite ivory cotton silk, each piece in the collection is inspired dually by the elegance and grace of a ballerina and the rich and vibrant culture of the Middle East.  This video, featuring the lovely Susan Coffey, encapsulates that vision.

Some images of the collection are featured below.  My personal faves are the playsuit, robe, and caftan although they are all stunning!  Let me know what yours are!  Pieces in this collection will be available by the end of summer.  We’ll let you know where, of course, so stay tuned!

I had a fantastic time on set!  It was amazing to see all of the hard work, energy, and details that go into a successful shoot – and have so much respect for Layla and Josh for making it all come together themselves!  I also had a delightful time meeting the  model, Tina.  She’s not only strikingly beautiful, but also incredibly intelligent and a lot of fun!

As you know, Between the Sheets is all about play!  How you choose to play in your lingerie is up to you.  Let Tina show you how to Play it Sassy or Play it Sweet!

Taking inspiration from such diverse places as B-grade horror films, architecture and modern art, designer Gabrielle Adamidis with the help of her sister Dominique have established a strong following through innovative designs.

Combining vintage aesthetics with modern comfort and convenience, Hopeless create pieces that aim to make women feel sexy and beautiful. Hopeless Lingerie can be worn on summer nights or just for special occasions, and it will take just one viewing for you to fall hopelessly in love…

The first of four seasonal ranges for 2011 – ‘The Mirror’ is an all white collection designed for honeymooning brides. Not to exclude the rest of us all pieces are also available in black. This range was inspired by the character Tony in Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. The duality of good and evil is explored in this film and this is picked up in the black trims and hints of something harder, combined with traditional romantic elements.

From Lelo, we interviewed the lovely Eliane Said who showed us the absolutely elegant Sussurra collection recently launched by the brand best known for their pleasure objects.  You’ll be hearing more on TLP about this collection, but pay special attention to the kimono (my fave!).  Just glorious!

Hanky Panky lent us their Glam Guru, JD Breen, who showed us some best sellers and talked trends.  Did you know that Hanky Panky is more than just their signature thong?!  And speaking of the thong…stay tuned to the end of the video for a little tidbit!

Our other two interviews featured two of New York’s premier young designers – Layla of Between the Sheets and Ari of ARI DEIN.  Get a glimpse at their upcoming brands, discover their inspiration, and learn how they make it all work (yes, Tim Gunn would be proud!).  Also, learn a bit more about each of them as individuals.  Are they loyal to the iPhone or Blackberry?  What superhero powers do they secretly desire?  Where do they see their brands in 5 years?

We love these ladies and know you will too!
