Each piece of each of the collections is intricate and creative. I’m amazed how the brand continues to design and produce more unique designs.

As we prepare for Valentine’s Day, I urge you to check out the EMI Boudoir Holiday Collection. Buy it for yourself or ask for it as a gift!  It’s a gift that keeps on giving!  Pieces are richly colored in Ruby Red and Malibu Tan and are made of luscious Leavers lace, sophisticated sheer tulle mesh, and exquisite embroidery among other fabrics.  The collection includes bra and panty sets (sizes 32B – 36E, S-L), chemises (S-L), and a suspender (in one group).

The Boudoir Holiday Collection is sold at Bloomingdales and Nordstrom with bras retailing from $80 – $110, panties from $50 – $55, and chemises at $175.

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!!!

This is their first season in the United States and they’ve just sent out the photos of their brand new line of lingerie. It’s called Maison Close, after the French bordellos that had their heyday in the 1920s and 30s and then were outlawed in ’46.

The label’s really doing a great job promoting their stuff, and they put up an awesome teaser video on www.maison-close.com – check it out!

Inspired by old Hollywood, this glamorous collection uses high quality silk and lace to create classically elegantHypnotique Classico Ivory Chemise chemises, camis, knickers, eye masks, and more.

The first collection, available in stores now, is the stunning Classico Ivory Collection. Made of spectacular ivory silk accented with lavish black Chantilly lace, this decadent range includes a plunge bra, thong, French knickers, camisole, chemise, suspender belt, and eye mask. The plunge bra, in particular, stands out for its amazing construction, exquisite pleating, and unique detailing on the straps. I also love the vintage vibe achieved by the very sexy suspender belt. In the fall, Hypnotique will introduce this same collection in taupe.

The Autumn/Winter 2008 collection includes a number of other stunners. The Pacifico collection will be perfect for brides! Available in ivory (and also in blue), this sassy, but sweet set features a half-sheer, half silk demi cup with opulent pearl detailing (and detachable straps!) with a matching bikini and suspender belt. Hollywood, my personal favorite, meets nude with scarlet. The cups of the bra are comprised of gorgeous scarlet eyelash lace. This range is complete with a matching, sheer-backed panty, boudoir jacket, and, of course, garter belt!

I’m much more loving these, and I actually think this is the kind of lingerie that has a good chance of making it big with the younger generations here in Europe. I adore the stylish look of the suspenders, and I’m liking the rhinestone finished bra… Much better than the SS08 if you ask me, which means they’re moving in the right direction, right? ;-)

I can see why — she looks so classy in these pictures. Lovely Noemie just gained a fan! :)

Lace Top Hold Up 50 Denier by Girardi HosieryOpaque Lace Up Back Over Knee Stocking by Girardi HosieryPinstripe Overknee Effect Tights by Girardi HosierySkirted Supsender Tights by Girardi Hosiery

Don’t you just love the attention to detail in these pieces? I’m not the biggest fan of the laced top Hold-ups, but those overknees are so cute I could just eat ‘m! Pretty bows, perfect eye-catching height and sure jaw-droppers at any party (or even at work for those who dare!). Prices aren’t cheap — about $40 a pair.

I’m ordering myself a couple of these to try out — will keep you all posted! :)

It’s getting colder here in the US as winter is creeping up, and it’s time to start covering our legs before they freeze right off! Retro-inspired seamed stockings are as classic and glamorous as they come, but the new trend of having a bright or contrasting color seam adds an extra detail Jonathon Astonthat I find irresistible. It flashes ever-so-subtly as your cross your legs, and everyone will want to watch you walk away!

My fixation started with these nude and red Jonathan Aston stockings. I got a pair a few months ago, and have been desperately waiting for the fall to come so I can find an occasion to wear them out!

Here are some more from Leg Avenue and Pamela Mann:

Leg Avenue backseam fishnets Leg Avenue black backseam Leg Avenue contrast backseams Pamela Man Jive stockings

These stark backseams also have the great bonus of making your legs appear longer and leaner – so show them off! It is, however, a bit difficult to find a wide variety of colors. My dream would be to have a stocking wardrobe full of pairs similar to the Jonathan Aston ones, but in several different colors like purple or blue! If I ever find them, of course The Lingerie Post readers will be the first to know. And if you find some, please let us know in the forums!
