RICHPR Hosts ‘Enchanted’ Media Preview!

by

RICHPR is one of the leading PR agencies in the fashion industry, particularly with lingerie. The tagline “Let RICHPR expose you” is more than a double entendre! This boutique firm specializes in media outreach and does a phenomenal job of connecting the brands with the editors, reporters, writers, producers, fashion stylists and bloggers. RICHPR ensures that both up-and-coming as well as established brands get the exposure they deserve.

Owner and founder, Lauren Rich, and her team, are the epitome of professionalism, sophistication, and creativity! They recently hosted me, along with other media representatives, at a press preview for the Autumn/Winter 2011 collections for BRULEE, Affinitas, Parfait by Affinitas, Second Base, and Sassybax! No RICHPR preview would be complete without a theme and this time was no exception! The theme ‘Enchanted’ was carried out in every detail making for a magical experience. In this intimate setting, I was able to view the upcoming collections that you will be seeing in stores in just a few months. While nothing compares to seeing and feeling the luxurious laces, sensuous silks, and chic chiffons for yourself, I hope this footage will capture the essence of the loveliness that is to come in just a few months! Let us know what your favorites are!

And since a TLP video wouldn’t be complete without a little musical accompaniment, we hope you love (and let us know how much!) the ‘Enchanted’ worthy song by our friend, Ramzi. Enjoy!

Curve NY and NY Showrooms Part 2: Fall Trends

by

Curve NY was a great chance to see the Autumn/Winter collections from some of our favorite brands (as well as some newcomers!). We know you will be falling for fall just like we are! See below for my Five for Fall (five trends + a special shout out to some brands to keep your eye on) and stay tuned to TLP for more on these brands in the upcoming months. Don’t forget to let so know what you think on Facebook or Twitter!

Color, Color Everywhere…

It looks like color will be pervading the drawers and racks of your favorite boutiques and department stores this fall. Color palettes include elegant and opulent jewel tones like deep hued purples, full bodied wines, and strong sapphires as well as rich and robust autumnal shades like spice, poppy, and olive. Even the absence of color makes a bold statement with luxurious, creamy colors like blush and oatmeal.

Favorite Brands for Color: Zinke, Brulee, Amulette, Affinitas, CLO

It’s All in the Details!

Prints are back! I’m a huge fan of prints from a little accent to a bold statement. This fall, prints are airy and ethereal and include feature everything from florals to birds to symbols. Other favorite details for fall include the timeless eyelash lace, cheeky ruching, flirty ruffles, edgy hardware, and pretty piping.

Favorite Brands for Details: Beautiful Bottoms, Marlies Dekkers, Lelo, ARI DEIN

Mix it Up

One of my favorite new trends is the concept of mixing and matching. For all you recessionistas out there, this is the perfect way to maximize your lingerie wardrobe. From camisoles, chemises, and robes in alternating colorways to solids and patterns with similar color palettes, there are limitless options for creating a unique look. With so many options, it will be tough to decide!

Favorite Brands for Mixing and Matching: HotMilk, Between the Sheets, La Fee Verte, Amulette

The Romper is Here to Stay!

I’ve proclaimed my love for the romper before and am glad it is here to stay! This fun and flirty silhouette continues to be a trend in many collections that speaks for itself.

Favorite Brands for Rompers: Else, La Fee Verte, Brulee, Zinke

Vintage Inspired Looks

Many brands are using classic looks of the past and reinventing them to be fitting for the modern woman. Long lined bras, high-waisted knickers, and wide straps are just a few of the details that characterize this look of years gone by.

Favorite Brands for Vintage Inspired Looks: Dirty Dolls, Made by Niki, La Filled’O, Else
