Real Girls Lingerie & Casual Wear

Mandolina — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:00:34 +0000

Real Girls is a specialty lingerie & casual wear company, inspired by the desire for intimate apparel to enhance the female form while be Fun, Pretty, & Sensual. The Real Girls Lingerie collection focuses on providing sizing for the Real Girl and provides support where the Real Girl wants it.

Just last month, Real Girls launched its inaugural collections which consists of silk charmeuse items and soft mesh separates. Real Girls is unique in its focus on the buxom bustline while offering sizing for many figures. The collections are exclusively available online at the Real Girls website.

The Peony Collection eludes a sense of graceful glamour and consists of 100 percent charmuese silk chemises. The Zinnia Collection are soft mesh separates which mingle fun and flirty.

As so often, the label was born when founder Sarah Colnic was tired of not being about to find fun, pretty lingerie that she felt confident wearing. With her missy sizing and curvy bustline, she is not the typical body-type that lingerie companies cater to. She knew there were others out there who faced the same challenges. Instead of continuing to be disappointed when she went shopping, Sarah decided to start a company that made intimate apparel specifically for the buxom-bust.

All the photos in this post are from the first Real Girls collection. If you want to go shopping, now is the time, as Real Girls is adding a free gift to each purchase of over $50 before February 15 (use promo code VALDAY10).

Patrizia Pepe Lingerie

Mandolina — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:30:05 +0000

Patrizia Pepe is a popular Italian-based European fashion label that’s been growing exponentially over the last decade, starting in Southern Europe and quickly opening over 75 signature boutiques. Even though the label is famous for its women’s and men’s fashion lines, the lingerie collection has become more and more mature over the last couple seasons. When I saw Belgian fashion blog Felicity Fashion post about the lingerie earlier today, I decided it was time to introduce TLP readers to Patrizia Pepe as well.

Soft cups, extreme detailing and a look that reminds me a lot of Spanish designer Andres Sarda – and even though Patrizia Pepe is not a dedicated lingerie designer – a very versatile collection that according to my sources at Patrizia Pepe only gets updated once a year…

The brand also has a small loungewear line, which I do find a little less exciting…

For some reason, these pieces are not available in the Patrizia Pepe web-shop – but they are in stock in all the Patrizia Pepe flagship stores, and some of the 1200 other locations that sell the label.

Indulge in Brulee

Krista — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:05:31 +0000

Go ahead, indulge. How enticing! The tagline for Brulee is just as enticing as each piece in the collection! This up-and-coming lounge and lingerie brand, which debuted this summer at CURVExpo, is both feminine and seductive. Through four ranges – Brulee Classic, Brulee Lounge, Brulee Boudoir, and Brulee Black, this luxurious line includes rompers, bodysuits, bralettes, boyshorts, thongs, leggings, camis, nightshirts, and more. Fully produced in New York City, the luxurious line is the brainchild of designer, Kristian Giambi. This talented designer uses silk, chiffon, jersey, and cotton to create deliciously decadent pieces in plums, blacks, and ivories accented with gold and crystal hardware.

Designed for independent, confident, and sophisticated ladies, Brulee is chic and elegant and is inspired by the busy lifestyle of Giambi who realized that the market lacked versatile, sexy pieces that traveled well. Thus tops, camis, bodysuits, and leggings in the collection were designed to provide the wearer flexibility to pair with pencil skirts, skinny jeans, sweater dresses, and more. Are you ready to indulge?

Brulee will hit stores in Spring 2010 with pieces in sizes XS-XL retailing from $36 to $178. However, if you just can’t resist, you can contact Brulee directly through their website and a representative will help complete your order! Go ahead. Feel sexy. Feel confident. Indulge!

Lavinia Firenze Lingerie: New Brand

Press Release — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:06:37 +0000

Today, we introduce you to an exciting new lingerie label from Italy: Lavinia Firenza.

They want to represent the excellence of “Made in Italy” in the lingerie sphere and give consumers the possibility to distinguish themselves from others. In order to reach these goals Lavinia Firenze exclusively rely on the best Italian suppliers existing in the market, both for the materials used in the making of their lingerie, and for the artisan workmanship. All collections are limited editions – and Lavinia Firenze wants all collections to look like they are…

The first L.F. creations are divided into three collections. The first, “Collezione B-Up”, is a technical one. A sort of “framework” to shape the figure without the shapewear look. A lifting that tries to achieve a Brazilian-style curve combined with pretty and sexy panties.

The second and the third collection represent the best “Made in Italy” can do. A teamwork between the finest of fabrics with the best on the production-end results in an attractive, fascinating, gorgeous and comfortable collection.

Due to the artisan methods, Lavinia Firenze is able to create made-to-measure items. More information (and footage) on laviniafirenze.it.

A Warhol Princess: Princesse Tam Tam Fall 2009

Marissa — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:25:32 +0000

The name Princesse Tam Tam pays homage to a film starring Josephine Baker, released in 1935. The spirit of this character embodies a woman that fights prejudice, a feminist, long before it was acceptable. Therefore, we can imagine the Warhol Princess collection will be edgy with some sexuality.

Each design offers several bra and panty styles to include half-cup bra, triangle bra, or push up bra. For the panties the bottoms come in hipster bikini, thong bikini, and boxer shorts. You have the option to choose your favorite combination. Tres chic! The printed stretch satin and delicate lace leave us wanting more.

The Parisian company also makes homewear (lounge wear as we know it) in the same colorful, whimsical style as their lingerie.

I am especially dying for the ANDY items, I LOVE the printed stretch satin in the Street Grey colorway!!

More soon on the Princesse Tam Tam site.

Lola Haze “Confections” for Spring/Summer 2010

Mandolina — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:50:00 +0000

Lola Haze introduces its Spring/Summer 2010 collection. This collection, Confections, is the brand’s fourth. “The delight of taking the first bite of cotton candy—I want to capture that moment of sweetness and light in this collection,” says designer Laura Mehlinger. “There’s such simplicity in our love—or at least my love—of candy.”

With confections as a starting point, Mehlinger created a collection that explores desire and consumption in its many forms, finding a locus where desire to consume overlaps with desire for a woman to present herself as beautiful—to be consumed.

Confections focuses on silhouettes like camis, panties, and chemises in silk and mesh, including updates to favorite past looks as well as a new silhouette, the maxi chemise. Color and fabric mixing are a hallmark of the collection, with the Swirl group embracing a candy-cane-like twist of color-blocking that swirls up the body.

Fabrics include combinations of silk charmeuse, chiffon, and mesh, which, together, create a play of opacity mixed with transparency. The looks are both wearable and comfortable to a modern woman, but also give moments of sensual reveal. Colors are reminiscent of fruits and sherbets: peach, crème, mint, lavender, grape.

I’m happy to see some slip-like designs in here – and I’m sure Kelly will digg it too!

La Fee Verte Spring/Summer 2010

Krista — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 07:55:03 +0000

I first told you about La Fee Verte back in the spring after seeing the delightful collection at Curvexpo. During a time when the intimates industry was feeling the effects of the recession, and the general mood of the show was reserved, I was intrigued by a brand that would dare to go bold! The Fall 2009 collection, now available at retailers, including Journelle (where I saw it last week!), is daring, colorful, and whimsical. In contrast, the Spring/Summer 2010 collection takes a more mature, more vintage, more Parisian direction while still retaining an emphasis on quality and luxury.

What I particularly love about the S/S collection is the variety of unique silhouettes that designer, Adam Sakara, uses to captivate the eye including kimonos, bralettes, tap shorts, rompers, and more. I also love the versatility of the pieces. Not only can they be mixed and matched to create new looks, but a number of pieces are able to double as outerwear as well as innerwear. My favorite innerwear as outerwear piece would have to be the romper. In both ivory and black, the piece is striking and could easily be incorporated into an outfit for a night on the town. Another favorite feature of this collection is the subtlety of the colorways. With simple, yet elegant combinations like black and ivory, black and lavender, gray and pink, and pink and ivory, the intricacy of the design shines through.

See above for a sampling of photos of the collection. Many more are on the website. I promise, you will be hooked!
