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!).

Confessions from the L.A. Textile Show

April 26, 2008 by Gayvin

I confess, it was my virgin trip to the Los Angeles Textile Show. What an experience! I went through over a hundred booths seeking those “it” pieces of fabric that I had designed my Spring ’09 Eve’s Apples lingerie line around.

I can’t deny it, I adored the French lace. If French lace is a sin, then I don’t want redemption. Unfortunately, with the U.S. economy being so fragile and my greatest attempt at staying away from the higher end pieces, my lovely lace was still priced at over $90 per meter…Time to reconsider my line.

After three days of silk, satin, and lace, two Project Runway alumni sightings and one caffine infused drink every hour, I focused on looking for inspiration pieces. Fortunately, that is just what I found. Time and sleep solved the sensory overload from last week and a few pieces have stuck with me that inpsired an entirely new line.

The big hit of the show was all of the new eco-fabrics in bamboo, hemp, and recycled materials. I have to agree with Women’s Wear Daily and say that next year, I think we’ll see a lot more of eco-friendly garments, including lingerie, in the market place. Here is a round of applause to companies creating fabric that is both sustainable for the environment and can be as soft as sillk.

In spring 2009, we’ll see designers rethinking and recreating the look of luxurious lingerie. Due to ingenious approaches to fabric and the varying international economys, lingerie designers have a great opportunity to be even more innovative with their styles and use of embellishing materials. I’m excited to see what wonderful and creative delicacies are revealed next year!

Bamboo Bliss: Eden Collection by Cosabella

April 22, 2008 by Krista

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a huge fan of eco-friendly lingerie. Here’s a closer take at the Eden collection by Cosabella which features silky smooth bamboo fabric.The Eden collection consists of lingerie and loungewear with your ultimate comfort in mind. Pair a cami or another top with shorts or pants. Coordinate with a matching low rise thong. These natural, cozy (and antistatic!) pieces are available in the yummy garden hues of corn, carrot, sage, radish, earth, and onion. Choose one or choose them all. Each low rise thong comes individually packaged in its own minibasket.

So why bamboo? Bamboo is a naturally absorbent fabric that absorbs four times more than cotton keeping you comfortable and dry on even the most humid nights. Due to its mineral content, bamboo is odor preventative and stimulates the wearer’s blood circulation. Additionally, bamboo is antibacterial, breathable, and cool making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to feel good on both the inside and outside.

The biodegradable bamboo used in the Eden collection is light, but resistant due to the advanced knitting techniques used to create the material. Micro-modal is added to the bamboo to enhance the natural shine and fall of the fabric. Modal is also a 100% natural product, made of beech wood, making the garments fully natural and fully recyclable. Not that you would be recycling them any time soon! The modal also contributes to the ability of the garments to withstand wash and wear, which means you’ll have them for years to come.

The Eden collection will be available this July. However, you should enjoy the many other comfortable, fun, and fashionable pieces by Cosabella including the newly released Sex and the City collection I told you about a while back. This collection includes the Charlotte group which also features bamboo fabric. Purchase online at Bare Necessities or Chic Mystique and at boutiques and major retailers near you. See the Cosabella site for more details.
