Her best-known work is probably the Coppertone girl (she re-drew it for Tally Embry Advertising when the original was lost in a fire).

Because I do. Everything is so sexy with a vintage/retro touch, and it’s comfortable enough (and the prices are reasonable enough) to make it your go-to range for everyday lingerie. This winter collection is no exception! Here’s what’s new this season:

Alouette is back in a limited-edition peach range. Alouette includes a waist cincher, garter belt, brief, and bra of black lace over shimmering peach fabric.

The Jezebel range includes a fantastically seductive longline knicker based on vintage pantygirdle styles. The Jezebel cutout brief has a peephole in the back to show off your booty!

KMD-jezebel

L’Amour offers waist reduction and sleek styling from the basque and cincher, both of which have a double layer of stretch control mesh and steel boning. The six suspender straps on both are detachable.

Finally, the Ruby Van Doren looks very much like the Diamond Van Doren from August, but with a new red trim that makes it perfect for the holidays!

Fernandez used antique colors such as salmon, pale green, faded pink, beige and dark blue to create the gorgeous and delicate lingerie, which is topped off with plenty of feminine bows and ribbons.

“Retro means for Jesus Fernandez the femininity, the smoothness [and] the most precious garments,” reads Fernandez’s Web site. “In this collection we incorporated silk and a wide variety of Italian fabrics such as satin, musbiel, bisou, jacquards [and] French lace.”

Jesus Fernandez lingerie is sold in countries all over the world, but in the U.S. you can only find it in New York. One of the retailers is Azaleas located in Manhattan, which sells the bras for about $65 and bottoms for approximately $30. Check out Jesus-Fernandez.com.ar for other points of sale.

The luxuriously designed Lily range uses limited edition lace Katie found in Paris last September. Later, when looking through old vintage pieces, they found a late ’40s underwire bra Katie found in Portobello over 10 years ago. The lace on the vintage bra was nearly identical to the new lace they’d purchased! Inspired by the similarities, What Katie Did created the Lily range.


Because of the limited edition lace, the manufacturing was limited to 350 pieces. Being part of the Gold Label, it is slightly more expensive than the standard What Katie Did lines (the bra retails at £44.50). Lily is made from sheer peach organza with a black lace overlay, with a delicate peach ribbon and black lace trim. The bra has a black powermesh panel for fit. What Katie did warns that the sizes are “vintage sized” and may come up rather small, but also says that if you are wearing the correct bra size, you will be okay. You can find the new range on the What Katie Did website.
