CILA Brand Feature: Lou

August 2, 2008 by Krista

Lou Lingerie, featured on TLP back in June, is another contender for the coveted CILA Awards. This luxury fashion line, dedicated to meeting the needs of the modern, sophisticated, and discerning woman, will be taking the stage in just a few short days.

Lou will be vying for Best Coordinated Outifit with its everyday classy Music Hall collection. The demi cup bra and matching lace short each features an intriguing geometric embroidery, subtly scalloped edging, and a glamorous, crystal bound bow. The full collection, available this fall in Saphir (a rich navy) and Vison (the mocha color pictured), also includes the options of a full cup or foam pad bra (both through size E) as well as a bikini or thong, each with the signature flair and detailing of the collection. Music Hall is both stylish and versatile as the pieces provide a more fashionable alternative to a boring basic set.

Lou can be found at a number of retail locations including Intima Carmel, Trousseau Chicago, and Les Cent Culottes. Look for the collections at a store near you. Also, be sure to check back next week for a full post-CILA wrap up and see how all of your favorite brands fared.

* Intimate apparel buyers interested in attending the CILA Gala should contact Marjorie Walker at ContoursMag@verizon.net for information on obtaining tickets. * (Hurry! The not-to-be missed event is Monday, August 4th!)

New La Perla Studio pre-fall lingerie just arrived at Nancy Meyer (who are obviously getting new collections in at high speeds, so expect more quickies like this in the next few weeks!) and I’m loving the simple chic this clean and basic collection displays…

A New Lou – Lou Lingerie

June 17, 2008 by Krista

Lou Lingerie, a popular French brand in existence for over 60 years, is taking a new direction for fall with a more sophisticated and modern look. With a focus on elegance and style along with quality and fit, Lou seeks to meet the need of the everyday woman who enjoys the finer things in life for herself.The line features feminine and fashion forward designs as well as well as basics with flair! Each piece in the collection is well thought out and includes incredible detailing from embroidery to creative use of texture.

One of my favorite groups in the collection is Charmant. Both the bras (full cup, demi, and push-up) and the panties (bikini, thong, and lace short) incorporate a unique, corset-esque lace up detailing. This sexiness is balanced with sweetness with delicate bows adorning the pieces as well.

Couture is a one-of-a-kind group that is couture indeed! Each piece, a combination of silk and lace, looks like a work of art! This, paired with scalloped edging and rich colors, makes for quite a masterpiece.

Allure, Lou’s basic bra, is more than basic. Featuring molded foam cups that conform to your original shape, this classic bra is accented with Swarovski crystals.

Lou Lingerie can be found at a number of retailers worldwide. Look for these and a number of other sassy styles online at Figleaves and BiggerBras.com.

Cosabella Sex and the City Collection: Launch Party Highlights & Fall 2008

May 27, 2008 by Krista

We are under a week until the movie of the year hits screens! Shown below are some photos from the Cosabella Sex and the City Collection Launch Party at Bloomingdales. The event was a lot of fun for all those attended. The first 100 attendees even received tickets for the NYC premiere of the movie on May 27th!

And if this hasn’t made your day, well, how about this? This fall, Cosabella will extend the Sex and the City collection to include new colorways and silhouettes!

The Fall Carrie collection will still retain a fun and fashionable essence, but will replace floral print tulle with scalloped edged lace. The cami, brief, and g-string all come in a gorgeous, vibrant pink called Lipstick. The Charlotte collection continues to use the amazingly soft and eco-friendly bamboo fiber. However, for Fall 2008, it is featured in Sage and incorporates a 3/4 sleeve top. Samantha takes sexy in a new direction with an animal print called Ocelot. The spotted print tulle is available in a bustier, low rise hotpant, and low rise thong. The hotpant and thong of the Miranda collection will remain, but a soft bra is introduced. All pieces will be featured in Cocoa with a Pink trim.

And that’s not all for the fall collection. Look for more details about the rest of the fantabulous fall collection in an upcoming post. In the meantime, channel your inner Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, or Miranda and start shopping! In addition to Bloomingdales and Bare Necessities, the collection can be purchased at Chic Mystique or the HBO Shop (which also has a number of other SATC goodies, including a very cute eco-friendly dry cleaning bag!).
