I absolutely adore the Origami collection!  This delicately embroidered, Japanese inspired collection 3 silhouettes – full cup, demi cup, and push up.  Each can be paired with a bikini, brief, or string also adorned with the embroidery.  What sets Origami apart is the sweet additions like ruffled straps and gauzy bows.

Tokyo is a delightful display of rich and vibrant colors!  Made of silk crepe, the combination of colors, prints, and textures make for a unique and alluring look.  I especially love the sassy, bum flattering Shorty!

Love Leavers lace?  Then you will love Cherry Blossom.  Shown in Azalea, this beautiful, classy set is also available in Ivory.  Perfect for the bride-to-be.

Lucky for you, there is even more to the collection.  Check out these and all the other ranges for yourself on the revamped Lou website.  While there, Magnifique!

Lou will be vying for Best Coordinated Outifit with its everyday classy Music Hall collection. The demi cup bra and matching lace short each features an intriguing geometric embroidery, subtly scalloped edging, and a glamorous, crystal bound bow. The full collection, available this fall in Saphir (a rich navy) and Vison (the mocha color pictured), also includes the options of a full cup or foam pad bra (both through size E) as well as a bikini or thong, each with the signature flair and detailing of the collection. Music Hall is both stylish and versatile as the pieces provide a more fashionable alternative to a boring basic set.

Lou can be found at a number of retail locations including Intima Carmel, Trousseau Chicago, and Les Cent Culottes. Look for the collections at a store near you. Also, be sure to check back next week for a full post-CILA wrap up and see how all of your favorite brands fared.

* Intimate apparel buyers interested in attending the CILA Gala should contact Marjorie Walker at ContoursMag@verizon.net for information on obtaining tickets. * (Hurry! The not-to-be missed event is Monday, August 4th!)

One of my favorite groups in the collection is Charmant. Both the bras (full cup, demi, and push-up) and the panties (bikini, thong, and lace short) incorporate a unique, corset-esque lace up detailing. This sexiness is balanced with sweetness with delicate bows adorning the pieces as well.

Couture is a one-of-a-kind group that is couture indeed! Each piece, a combination of silk and lace, looks like a work of art! This, paired with scalloped edging and rich colors, makes for quite a masterpiece.

Allure, Lou’s basic bra, is more than basic. Featuring molded foam cups that conform to your original shape, this classic bra is accented with Swarovski crystals.

Lou Lingerie can be found at a number of retailers worldwide. Look for these and a number of other sassy styles online at Figleaves and BiggerBras.com.

Fayreform’s Fall collection is moving toward a more fashion forward look while retaining its signature sophistication. The brand refuses to settle for less than an impeccable fit for its full-cupped customers. Fayreform manages to blend both worlds by meeting subtle detailing with supportive construction.

One example of this intersection of fashion and fit is with the Perfection group. Lady like lace and rosettes adorn the balconette bra uniquely designed with 4 piece vertical cups that give added support ad lift. The Conceptual group is special as it presents Fayreform’s first plunge bra. Of course this amazing shape is complemented by something chic – eyelash lace (in Black or Crabapple Coral) against a nude lining. Pigment is an innovative group featuring a lightweight memory foam that conforms to your body to give you a flawless look. This contour bra is made of a simple, but elegant, diamond print satin.

Elaborate, perfect for the bride-to-be in ivory, features a sweet embroidery and a key hole detailing between the cups. A 3 piece vertical cup gives sexy silhouette. Smooth European stretch lace and rich, contrasting colors define the Figurative group, which also introduces the brand’s first boyleg brief – a cheeky alternative to the traditional brief.

Profile Perfect is the seamless staple (and a best seller) for Fayreform. Designed with you in mind, this bra is constructed to provide maximum support by dispersing the weight evenly between your back and shoulders.

Absolutely amazing! Find Fayreform at a number of retailers worldwide, including Nordstrom, Boudiche, Allens Stores and online at Bare Necessities and Blest Bras.

Breadth of Serenity is just that indeed! A clean, white double layered mesh is topped with a vibrant, royal purple scrolling embroidery, which immediately transported me to the Mediterranean in my mind! The group has something to offer everyone. The lightly lined balconette bra accomodates cups A-D, while the lightly padded full coverage bra fits C-F cups. Both feature the delicate, scalloped straps as well as the coordinating organza bow with a crystal tear drop charm.

Bottoms include a g-string hipster, bikini brief, and boyshort. All of which include the organza bow detailing in addition to their own unique elements including additional embroidery, pleating, and a key hole. In true Pfiff style, you’ll not only look fabulous from the front, but from the back as well! The group is complete with both a camisole and chemise. Mix and match to create new, opulent looks every night of the week.

For the ultimate in sophistication, Dramatic Entrances pairs a soft, tactel microfiber with Leavers lace and mesh. The palest green is accented with an inky black in a group reflecting the Art Deco style. Again, amazing detailing is featured throughout and sizes A-F are provided options through the fashionable demi padded push up bra and lightly lined full coverage bra.

The tanga features a unique, lined mesh cut out detail in the back as well as a double banded side while the wide-side thong features detachable garters! For more coverage, choose the hipster. Additional options include a lightly padded underwire bustier and a chemise with an adjustable tie back. This group is so fantastic and detailed, it could have been called Dramatic Exits as well!

Of course, the Pfiff year-round, continuous collections (including Lavish Bouquet and Moments of Seduction) are always available in stores.

To purchase the new collection, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks, but the continuous collections and Autumn/Winter 2007-2008 are currently available in department stores (including Macy’s West) and boutiques. Online, shop at Star Boudoir.

More to come on the Autumn/Winter collection!

In August, the Pixelate collection is introduced. A new, everyday classic using a new balconette bra profile. Complete the look with the bikini (featuring ruching on the back seam) or thong. Made from a stretch mesh, Pixelate will be available in Black and White in August and in Crystal Rose in November. Another great addition arriving in August is Pigment. Leading the way as one of the first contour bras for larger cup sizes, this sophisticated style is made of a gorgeous diamond print satin. The matching satin bikini features mesh side panels.

Starting in September, more glorious masterpieces will hit the stores. Art Deco is an exquisite range as it meets style with comfort. The balconette bra and matching bikini, in a beautiful, soft neutral, Moonlight Fawn, are made of a soft microfiber and edged with a contrasting guipere embroidery. Delightful! Conceptual is a beautiful profile that accomodates through a G cup! Using modern and elegant eyelash lace in Crabapple Coral against a nude lining is flirty, but classy. With an eyelash lace front and mesh back, the bikini completes the look.

In October, introduce yourself to Perfection. This well-constructed, vertical seam profile gives the bust an amazing lift. In White Smoke, this stunner features delicate lace, piped seams, and adorable rosettes. October also welcomes Restoration, another bra in the new contour profile. Made of silky microfiber in Navy, the glamorous look is completed by the White Smoke eyelash lace and stretch ribbon detailing.

Calligraphy, arriving in November, is one breathtaking range! The Linen Cream fabric is accentuated with a “tattoo” embroidery in a rich turquoise. A satin trim completes the sweet and fashionable look. November and December will welcome back some of the favorite ranges such as Conceptual, Restoration, and Perfection in additional colors.
