Coco de Mer manages to strike a perfect balance between innocence and seduction. Rose-colored satin bras cut away to reveal a tantalizing glimpse to the viewer, seemingly sweet toile is actually illustrations of 18th century debauchery, PVC and lace coexist in the same piece, and even a bra that looks like a basic black balconette while in your lingerie drawer becomes the ultimate tease when worn – it cuts so low that your lover can almost (but not quite) see everything. There are so many frills and ruffles that it’s almost surprising how aggressively naughty everything is!

She says her Afterwear collection is “lingerie and loungewear designs with a touch of feminine street attitude.” Her Afterwear collection is found mostly in boutiques and online (from boutiques offering ecommerce). The boutiques are in Denmark, Iceland, Spain, Japan, and Coco De Mer in the US and UK, as well as Misty Beethoven in Italy and Barneys in NYC. Signe thinks that her collection can provide “the sensation of wellness and feminine luxury after bed; after bath; after work… it’s underwear that’s too good to hide.”

The latest collection of Afterwear, Signe’s lingerie line, is inspired by tales from the Arabian Nights – 1001 erotic, grotesque and sensual tales about warm desert winds, dark blue nights, hidden treasures, mystic creatures, lust, vengeance and love. life is carbon

Afterwear is more than tinged with a sense of the past. The pieces are hand stitched and can be embellished with antique metals, feathers, ribbons, and lace. A video (mp4) is available from United Pictures showing a collection from Afterwear.

Maggie says “I couldn’t find anything to wear so I designed my own range – lingerie that is delicate but naughty. Obsessed by art from all genres I wanted to have art that I love on my lingerie , using silk, tattoo art using intricate embroidery, and silver charms became my signature.” In 2006 she started a business by producing to order for Coco de Mer (UK, US), Beyond the Valley, Paradiso Boudoir (online shop coming), and individual orders. You won’t have an easy task finding Lucky Locket online at these stores.

Maggie completed a widespread commercial launch of the Lucky Locket label in 2007 and she’ll be redoing the website in 2008 to support direct orders. Until then, you can email her maggie (at) luckylocket (dot) com. If you are in these geographic locations, you can pick up Lucky Locket from these retail outlets.

  • Sydney – Dirty Pretty Things (Paddington)
  • London – Paradiso, Beyond the Valley
  • Los Angeles – Coco de mer
  • Tokyo – Defo corp

Maggie counts Reiko Ike, skate culture, pin striping, and Vargas pin up girls as some of her influences. You can see the results in the pictures below.

La… Oh my! LASCIVIOUS. Phew. That’s better! I don’t know how Chloe Hamblen ended up calling her label Lascivious, but I hope you don’t mind me saying I think it sounds excellent! It takes some practice though, for a non-native English speaker! ;) :D

Off course we’re not here to congratulate Lascivious on their brand name, so let’s move on to the lingerie! First up, the new Lascivious Bridal collection that’s now available on the Lascivious website. The white tulle and satin collection is absolutely gorgeous, and features eye-catching details on all the pieces. I adore the front closure strapless “Laura” bra (£76), but the true centerpiece are surely the extravagant Laura Ouverts open crotch panties (£48). Enjoy the superb photo, more on the Lascivious website!

As a little extra, we’ve got these amazing sneak previews from Lascivious’ recent launch party for their new film (check it out on their website!), the girls are wearing the upcoming AW0 — so expect more news on these soon! Enjoy!
