Camille is a wonderful collection of silk panties, chemise, babydoll, bra, suspender (garter) and string. Three selections of panties, French knickers, hip-hugging briefs, and string thong, make purchasing a difficult choice. Blue flowers with black accent embroidery meticulously placed over the pink or blue silk with a tiny bow on the knickers’ waistband, ribbon detailing on the briefs, and brown stretch ruffle on the thong are all elegant designs. Matching underwire bra and suspender work perfectly with the thong creating a very sexy yet stated outfit. The babydoll with lined embroidered cups, delicate, adjustable straps and cross over front combines with any of the three style panties making a sweet little ensemble. But the chemise is striking, made of six panels, lace bust, deep lace hem, and tiny bows adorning the hem and middle of the breasts.

Tivoli, a more revealing collection than the Camille as the garments are not lined in the bust area, includes a camisole, French knickers, bra, briefs, suspender, chemise, nightdress and string panties. Sumptuous, three-quarter length nightdress is exciting with its pretty laced, single side split, tiny rosebud, spaghetti straps and lace bust.

Both the camisole and chemise are equally pretty. But the Tivoli thong is even sweeter than the Camille as the silk is completely covered with stretch lace in the shape of a panty ending with a tulle frill.

Further, Sulis Silks’ luxurious plain silk kimonos match in colour to the above selections allowing the purchaser to add more pieces to their own collection. Based in the UK, Sulis Silks ships internationally and offers sizes from ten to twenty.

Breadth of Serenity is just that indeed! A clean, white double layered mesh is topped with a vibrant, royal purple scrolling embroidery, which immediately transported me to the Mediterranean in my mind! The group has something to offer everyone. The lightly lined balconette bra accomodates cups A-D, while the lightly padded full coverage bra fits C-F cups. Both feature the delicate, scalloped straps as well as the coordinating organza bow with a crystal tear drop charm.

Bottoms include a g-string hipster, bikini brief, and boyshort. All of which include the organza bow detailing in addition to their own unique elements including additional embroidery, pleating, and a key hole. In true Pfiff style, you’ll not only look fabulous from the front, but from the back as well! The group is complete with both a camisole and chemise. Mix and match to create new, opulent looks every night of the week.

For the ultimate in sophistication, Dramatic Entrances pairs a soft, tactel microfiber with Leavers lace and mesh. The palest green is accented with an inky black in a group reflecting the Art Deco style. Again, amazing detailing is featured throughout and sizes A-F are provided options through the fashionable demi padded push up bra and lightly lined full coverage bra.

The tanga features a unique, lined mesh cut out detail in the back as well as a double banded side while the wide-side thong features detachable garters! For more coverage, choose the hipster. Additional options include a lightly padded underwire bustier and a chemise with an adjustable tie back. This group is so fantastic and detailed, it could have been called Dramatic Exits as well!

Of course, the Pfiff year-round, continuous collections (including Lavish Bouquet and Moments of Seduction) are always available in stores.

To purchase the new collection, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks, but the continuous collections and Autumn/Winter 2007-2008 are currently available in department stores (including Macy’s West) and boutiques. Online, shop at Star Boudoir.

More to come on the Autumn/Winter collection!

Reading that introduction line from the Sariana website, I immediately assumed that the line was provocative, maybe even erotic better left for fantasy playing than wearing as serious lingerie.

But I was pleasantly and amazingly surprised that Sariana is an exquisite luxury lingerie collection that made me delirious thinking about purchasing and owning these magnificent pieces. I was immediately drawn to the Granada bra, panty and camisole from the Spring/Summer 2008 Collection. Masterful laces in intricate designs in a full range of colours, the pieces are what I would call “elegant fantasy”.

Lace on sumptuous chocolate brown makes up the Alicante line and the Bilboa offers the traditional white, black and bone bra, girdle and teddy. Sevilla is even more spring and summer fresh using green or red lace embellishments on pretty prints.

In addition it is newest collections, Sariana also has a diverse Basic line which is equally as pretty and elegant as the newer designs. Trying to instill confidence and natural beauty in all women, with lingerie that should feel like a second skin, Sariana offers a design for everyone.

As one would surmise from their name and logos, the company is situated in Paris, France and was founded and managed by the Bena family until 2006. The company’s official website best describes their longevity and success story. They are a family and ultimately a corporate entity that took risks, adapted and innovated to the point where they became a world-renowned organization.

The family has since sold controlling interest to an equity firm in 2006 but the Barbara of Paris Fall 2008 Collection has already hit the runways this month in Las Vegas and New York at Lingerie Americas.

Many luxury lingerie companies focus on one or two products or lines making them the signature product. Barbara, on the other hand, has endeavoured to create all types of lingerie including sleepwear, swimwear, underwear, shaping garments, foundation garments and specialty items such as maternity and plus sizes. But they do not compromise quality and image in order to produce such variations in selection.

And, while the Bena family may now only own about thirty percent of Barbara, the new regime continues to focus on family values and the virtues of looking good with quality products. The 2008 advertising campaign emphasizes the bond between a mother and a daughter, which closely parallels the historic value of the Barbara of Paris line. The campaign’s underlying message is that family is important and Barbara has always been a successful family concern.

The Spring/Summer Collection, which is being sold in specialty boutiques now, is simply delightful with names such as Fleurs du sucre, Thé au jasmine and Macarons. The collection is best described by the company itself as “an appetising pic-nic” of “sweet sensations”. Think of perfumes, fruity colors such as pink raspberry, peach tea and apricot and creamy textures inspired by Japanese flower gardens.

As long as the company continues to innovate, please and maintain the quality control and comfort for which it is known, may it continue to lead as one of the world’s greatest lingerie success stories. More info on the Barbara website!

The NYC store, while already open, will not hold its official launch until sometime this summer while the Berlin store opened recently with the launch of her Fall|Winter 3 Collection called Arabian Nights. The current collection was also shown, a beautifully energetic and colourful exotic design called Tropical Birds.

While the photography on her Spring|Summer Collection seems rather provocative and even bizarre, the pieces of lingerie are nonetheless elegant, chic and stunningly different. It is very easy to understand how Marlies has become so successful as no other designer matches her range of creativity. Intricate patterns, eye-catching colours, gorgeous designs and garments that look realistically comfortable are only a few of the many features of this beautiful collection of lingerie and swimwear.

The new “sundressed” 2008 collection, available for sale in her stores, is an awe-inspiring collection of sunny beach colours and fabrics mixed with mythological symbols. Just seeing this collection for the first time, it really makes you crave for the fun and sun of summer. Lazy days on some tropical island dressed in gorgeous tropical prints by one of the most outstanding designers in the business.

Rewarded time and time again for her notably superior workmanship, Marlies Dekkers truly understands what women crave to wear.
