The cylk Body collection is a 5 pieces range of seamless eco-luxe shapewear. The range has been carefully constructed using seamless technology and a unique bamboo blend to ensure the ultimate comfort for the wearer.

The unique bamboo blend sets the cylk body collection apart as it is the only shapewear line which uses a natural, sustainable blend and combines this with innovative seamless technology; a manufacturing technique perfectly suited to body conscious undergarments. With naturally anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic properties, the unique bamboo blend is lightweight, highly breathable and super soft against the skin. These luxury seamless garments conform smoothly to your individual shape, allowing for improved comfort as the body moves.

The cylk Body range was created to cater for the ever-growing shapewear market. The shapewear line offers moderate control as well as the essential support needed to wear any outfit with confidence, conforming to the body for a smooth, streamline silhouette.

The range is available in XS, S, M and L and will be stocked in leading department stores, high-end boutiques, lingerie stores and online boutiques all over Australia. For international shopping options, check the cylk site!

For a few years now, Slimpressions has been actively involved with the charity, Food for the Poor, that reaches impoverished communities in the Caribbean.  With 96% of donations going directly to those in need, the organization does amazing work to build homes, sanitation facilities, and more.  The funds from Slimpressions have been donated to Lahatte, Haiti.  In light of the recent tragedy in that nation, the funds Slimpressions is donating is even more vital and timely than ever.  I spoke with co-founder, Jennifer Daniels this week at Curve and she informed me that the development of Lahatte is just about 20% complete.

“The Lacee by Shapeez is the ultimate all-in-one fashion layering piece. This new feminine creation is an elegant bra and camisole that combines Shapeez patented back smoothing design with beautiful scalloped lace concealing the underwire molded cups.”

This must-have addition to any lingerie wardrobe does the job of three undergarments, a bra, a body shaper and lace camisole. The Lacee, like all of Shapeez styles, is ingeniously designed to provide a woman with superior breast shaping, lifting and support while eliminating those unsightly back bulges and visible bra lines. It is constructed from comfortable four-way stretch, moisture-wicking Nylon/Lycra that moves with you and doesn’t bind.

The Lacee will be available in 2 styles. The Lacee Long (+/-$110) and the Lacee Short (+/- $95). Both styles offer the full support lace bra and back smoothing that Shapeez is known for. The hip length Lacee Long offers additional 360° torso control which slims the tummy and eliminates “muffin top”. Beautiful lace trim adorns the hem that is meant to be seen to spice up any outfit.

The NEW Lacee from Shapeez – innerwear you can show off!

Entitled Simplicity, the line is comprised of slimming separates that boast a chic design with thoughtful details. Not a lot of colors, but some of the pieces do come with a color detail option. Not all of the looks can work as outerwear pieces — three out of seven can to be exact.

Silhouettes include a scoop neck cami that is available with fashionable patterns; a V-neck camisole; an open-cut camisole (reminiscent of Biflex’s OverBra); a lingerie strap camisole; a mid-thigh shaper that is also available with fashion patterns; a half slip; and a girl short shaper available with fashion patterns. Prices range from $44 to $59.

The collection includes 18 items: a two-tone one-shoulder one-piece; a bandeau ruffled one-piece; a two-tone structured one-piece; a convertible one-piece; a deep V one-piece; a tankini one-piece (it looks like a tankini, but is actually only one piece); a two-tone triangle top one piece; a swim dress; and a ruffled triangle bikini set. Seperates include a two-tone structured bikini top, a regular bikini bottom; a full coverage bottom; a high rise bottom; a skirtini; a two-tone tankini top; a ruffled triangle tankini top; a convertible tankini top; and lastly, a cute bubble skirt.

Prices range from $58 to $198, and although that is a little steep, woulnd’t you consider paying that if it meant  your bathing suit would have the same qualities as shapewear?

“Customers now understand and demand the benefits of shapewear. New technology allows shapewear to look more feminine while still being functional, so customers aren’t as put off by what they see on the rack. However, there is still a gap between shapewear and high-end design, which we aim to close with the Slim collection,” president of Cynthia Rowley, Peter Arnold, told Women’s Wear Daily in an interview.

Slim by Cynthia Rowley — which, according to WWD, will launch in the fall at upscale department stores, boutiques, online and in Cynthia Rowley stores — will include attractive high-waisted panties, slip dresses and bras. The line will have its official debut at the Coterie tradeshow and will be priced between $118 and $226 once it hits stores.  Sizes will be S to XL and 32B to 38D.
