Inspired by Queen Victoria, the Victorian Gothic era, and other things dark and exotic, the Fall/Winter collection features intricate details, interesting patterns, and intriguing designs.

Fall/Winter 1, currently available in stores, is inspired by Victorian Indian Summer with unique collections including Wild Life, a exotic, safari inspired pattern (incorporating zebra, leopard, and tiger markings!), Language of Flowers, featuring pops of a bold, floral pattern, Oriental Beauty, inspired by Persian palace architecture, Salomina, inspired by the geometry of Persian carpets, and Queer Pets, featuring an embroidered monogram as an accent to both the bras and panties.  Each group in cludes a variety of bra styles including padded plunge, padded plunge balcony, unpadded plunge balcony, and padded french balcony.  Corresponding panties include a thong, brazilian short, tanga, brief, and short.

Fall/Winter 2, Dark Fever, explores a parallel universe.  The Deamon collection, named after the wild animal alter egoes of The Golden Compass, include accent prints of snakes against raspberry red and leopard against chocolate brown.  The show stopper?  The animal print trims are zippers!  Hot!  The other collections include Dark Victoria, a classic floral lace pattern of black on grey inspired by the  elaborate mourning fashion of Queen Victoria, Beautiful Bat, black microfibre accented with leather and inspired by Victorian Gothic Horror and lady vampires, Masked Ball, black microfibre accented with ruffled elastic trim and edgy miniature gunmetal studs, Divination, featuring prints of 19th century copperplate writing and mythical creatures inspired by fortune telling and tarot cards, and Secret Society, a black stretch mesh featuring prints in silvery grey flock.  In addition to the bra and panty styles listed above, this range features a very sexy waspie in Dark Victoria, knitted top in Beautiful Bat, jersey top and eyemask in Masked Ball, suspender in Divination, and a body (aka teddy), peek-a-boo unpadded plunge, and stockings in Secret Society.

Christmas Crackers is the theme for Fall/Winter 3.  Collections include Key to Deliverance, black velvety flock on black mesh is accented by tiny patterned keys in gunmetal is inspired by A Christmas Carol, Red Xmas, a poinsettia colored collection sprinkled with glittering rhinestones, The Spirit of Christmas, styled with engraved flowers in deep purples and accented with a favorite phrase of Marlies, ‘Let me lead you elsewhere to that boundless space where your spirit is already free,’ Christmas Baubles, a ribbon braid  accented holly red microfibre celebrating the Victorian tradition of decorating a fir tree, and Global Fireworks, the Swarovski crystal adorned, Platinum collection which pays tribute to New Year’s Eve celebrations.  Again, the collection features a range of mix and match options for bras and panties and also include stockings in The Spirit of Christmas and suspenders, a babydoll, and a nightgown in Global Fireworks.

Marlies Dekkers bras range in sizes from A-F (including some maternity styles!) and panties XS-XXL.  Check Marlies Dekkers or your retailer for specifics.  Marlies Dekkers is sold at leading retailers including Journelle (where I just bought mine!), Neiman Marcus, and Honey’s Lingerie.

Very special thanks to the AMAZING photographer of all these looks – Carin Verbruggen.  What phenomenal photos!!!

Since then, Yummie Tummie has made quite an impression on the intimate apparel market as well as on media maven, Oprah! Recently featured on Oprah’s Top Picks for Summer (with special guest Heidi Klum), Yummie Tummie shaping tanks are unique in that they are designed to be seen! Look sleek, slender, and sexy in your choice of 10 colors including black, white, chocolate, red, navy, and nude!

Why else should you own a Yummie Tummie tank? Well, the tank is made of a slick, soft cotton, so is naturally comfortable and won’t cling to your clothes. The fabric also features moisture-wicking so you will stay cool and dry. The longer silhouette means you won’t have to deal with that annoying roll up that often plagues us all when wearing tanks.

Yummie Tummie Hip Length Yummie Tummie Long Length Tank

The Yummie Tummie Tank featured on Oprah is available in both a hip length and a long length style. Other styles include a Basic T, Strappy T, and Basic V (with a Nursing T on the way – preorder at Bare Necessities!). Sizes range from XS – XL. Yummie Tummie tanks and tees retail from $62 – $82 and are available at over 600 retailers in the U.S. including Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. Select international locations also carry Yummie Tummie. For online ordering, Bare Necessities has you covered.

However, perhaps even more notable, is that Cosabella is celebrating 25 years in the industry! Now that’s a reason to celebrate! In the past 25 years, the brand has evolved from providing bodysuits and its signature Soire thong to offering an extensive intimate apparel and swimwear brand. In honor of this remarkable occasion, the brand is launching the Valeria collection (in homage to president and founder, Valeria Campello designed by husband, Ugo Campello).

Cosabella Valeria

The Valeria collection is made of a delicate, black mesh with intricate, metallic silver embroidery. Fitting of a silver anniversary! Swarovski crystals adorn the fabric for a rich, opulent look. The balconette bra is quite a stunner! Pair with a g-string or bikini. Complete the look with the elegant and amazingly chic chiffon robe. And because this is such a monumental milestone, pieces from the collection will be embellished with a special hangtag signifying the anniversary.

Arriving in August, Valeria will be sold at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, and Henri Bendel among other department stores and boutiques nationwide.

The popular British designer is pairing with Bendon, the New Zealand-based company that handles Elle Macpherson Intimates, will launch her Spring/Summer ’08 line at Neiman Marcus in mid-February.Stella McCartney lingerieMcCartney talks about her inspiration, which started at an early age:

“I was obsessed with French slips, lace inlays and handwork. When I think about lingerie, I tend to think of really handmade precious pieces. … The intimacy that a woman has with her lingerie is quite inspiring.”

The collection will include feminine bras, briefs, bodysuits, and chemises with prices ranging from $45 to $325. All of the pieces have sweet and girly names, like Daisy Dreaming, Eve Giggling, Mia Winking and Coco Blushing. Apparently McCartney is following the same aesthetic as her outerwear – frilly, coquettish, and super sweet!
